Slough Shark Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 We went out to the Cabin at Pigeon Lake last weekend. I didn't do much fishing since the water was too agitated for my little boat, but I did look for other things to photograph. I found a juvenile Burbot hiding underneath our makeshift boatlaunch (concrete walkway blocks and plywood). I didn't have time to grab the net so I scooped the little guy up with my fingers and carried him to a container. Unfortunately I couldn't get any good shots this way, but I did get a video- here it is: And when I decided to put the boat launch back in the water before we left, as a temporary hideout for juvenile fishes (the Walleye come in to shore almost like wolves in a pack to feed on the smaller fishes- I have seen Walleye with small Burbot hanging out of their mouths when the sky is black). Anyway I lifted up the plywood and there sat a small Western Toad (Bufo boreas). Before I could grab him he dove under the concrete blocks. When I lifted up the blocks and got everything out of the way, I set him down on the lawn and got these pics: I think it was a good weekend for nature-watching and photography. We are leaving for a whole 2 weeks next week- I sure hope it stays nice for that! Taylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Awesome Taylor! You need a 5gallon tank with extra thick glass that you can bring with you and use for photography purposes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slough Shark Posted June 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Thanks guys! Patrick- I have been on the lookout for a tank like this. I have seen the results of using tanks like these in the field and some great Photographs have been produced! Bottomdweller fan- glad to be of help! I can't wait to get my new camera- hopefully soon!
