[quote catchinon]Many of you have beautiful photos on here. I would like to post some too, and for the catfish contest I have to take pictures.
My question is how you keep your cameras safe around water and other hazards of fishing. I recently fulfilled a life-long dream by buying a high-quality DSLR. I plan to use it for wildlife, action, sports, and photojournalism. It is quite weather resistant but I just don't know the practicalities of taking it fishing with me. It is pretty bulky. My only other option is my 187 year old cell phone. Any ideas on how to keep my camera handy but safe?[:/][/quote]
Depends on your boat. If it's big enough, no problem. Use a dry bag over your camera case. I take my cameras out in my canoe duck hunting and out on the ocean in my 20' boat. For fishing and upland game hunting photos I use an advanced P&S, a Sony R100 Mk V. It's okay for those situations. Wildlife photography is a rather specialized discipline, though.

Single main, no kicker.
