If not, remember a hump a couple of feet high on an aquatic creature is analogous to an ice cube in a soft drink - 3/4 of the animal's height is under water. A superficially plesiosaur shapped creature 6 or 8 feet high will not do a nightime snooze cruise around the bend per the O'Connor photo unless the water is over 8 feet deep at that point. I't not going to arduously rub its belly or waddle on flippers for no reason.<br /><br />Get out in a canoe, boat or raft of somesort & measure the water at the limit of the night shot distance of the cam. If it is to dense to come ashore, then at least the water has got to be 7 feet or more deep at that point.<br /><br />Otherwise you may as well buy a National lottery ticket.. as your odds will be about as good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-24839555916824024022011-07-28T14:54:41.035-07:002011-07-28T14:54:41.035-07:00Thanks, bait is not a subject I considered manily ...Thanks, bait is not a subject I considered manily because I am not entirely sure what Nessie is in order to make an informed decision about attractants.<br /><br />So I just leave the bait issue aside and besides, I wouldn't want the stink to attract potential camera thieves!Glasgow Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597014995112568086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-40826746909180189192011-07-28T12:04:33.877-07:002011-07-28T12:04:33.877-07:00Camo that camera with some plastic or silk ferns e...Camo that camera with some plastic or silk ferns etc., or a piece of a ghille special forces suit & put it right on a tree trunk at shoreline. Go to a reptile importer, breeder, pet store or private zoo & get some female alligator, crocodile, newt, salamander, lizard & conger eel urine, droppings & sexual secretions mixed with a bit of non-toxic glue and smear it on fake inflatable decoy fish, brontosaurs or plesiosaurs tethered in the water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-48125793787488765982011-07-28T00:34:55.197-07:002011-07-28T00:34:55.197-07:00You're going to have to bait the camera just a...You're going to have to bait the camera just as any hunter by placement on a proven gametrail with or without feed. The swath cut by the beam intercept is far less than 1/10 of one percent of the shoreline. Assuming you'd be cited over there for piling a hundred pounds of fresh whole salmon right at the shorline (expense aside), consider moving the cam higher on a shrub a yard from high tide & stake with nylon cord several larger than a human inflatable brontosaurus or plesiosaur towables, science toys or balloons in the water near shore @ 20' from the camera. Perhaps curiosity, territorial aggression or loneliness might be elicited.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
