    It's not an overnight trip but The San Diego out of Seaforth is a great all day trip.

     

    The tuna are in pretty close right now. We were catching fish within 1 hour of leaving the bait terminal last week.

    Glad you had a good experience with Seaforth. I did the 1/2 day trip with Seaforth. There were way too many people and no fish. The only people catching were the captain's buddies. I caught 2 rockfish. Not worth the money. Seems like a full day trip is the way to go.

    And all these groups think conservatives are the evil ones. A conservative Christian may as well be the the devil to these people. It's sad that we are all expected to respect other's beliefs whether they are political or otherwise; however, we do not get any respect in return. So much for tolerance, huh?

    I fished the canal to try out some new lures. The canal in my area is not srp so the fish in there are definitely not for eating. But I went for just catch and release for bass. Just wondering what anyone else uses to catch bass in a canal. I must have used 10 different lures and spent half a day in there. Bass were jumping a little but not striking. I could even see fish near the edges of the canal but it just wasn't my day. All I caught was a little sunburn.

    well we survived. Jack wagons! From people shooting randomly in the middle of the night, quads around midnight (although they were "courteous" in the fact that they were just creeping down the road... but any noise in the middle of the night is enough to wake me up). more random shots fired, and then some rain, a restless English pointer, oh and a broken pop up camper.

     

    but as for the crawfish: We set up camp Friday and after about 1.5 of arguing with the kids and the dog to stay in bed we got up at 6.

     

    We tried turkey necks, chicken livers, and some packaged minnows (fish bait). for the first part of the morning. We went back around 11 with the group and checked the traps. plenty of bait but little yield. Before we went back to camp for the afternoon. One generous beach neighbor gave us the trout he caught, and one of my kiddos caught a trout from the kayak. We put the heads in separate traps with the rest of the gross parts and went back after dinner. Still hardly nothing. We put sardines, turkey necks, and cat food in the traps for overnight.

     

    Nothing like the 300-400 that was mentioned on here. but a boy scout group did say they were more plentiful at the opposite end of the lake. We probably got about a sandwich baggie of just tails (1/2) full all weekend long.

     

    Still had lots of fun, and thanks to everyone who had some input!

    I also had very little success last weekend. I'm not sure if it could have been the heat but trout fishing and crawfish traps came up empty.

    My husband participated in a spearfishing tournament at lake pleasant a few years ago. No restrictions on bass species. All his catches were large mouth bass. He came in 2nd place and loved it. I've never tried it but I've seen him do it successfully while I'm on the boat without a bite.

    I'll have to try to catch some this summer. I made the mistake of trying to eat some I caught out of the gila river a few years back.. big mistake! I havent tried cats since, but some high country caught ones could be just the thing to beat down that bad memory.

    what section of the gila? Down stream of the Rez? Caught tons on the upper end and all have been great.
    Lower end down by PIR.
    That water comes from a treatment plant. I wouldn't want to eat anything out of there but have seen plenty of people do it.

    I'm going to Ashurst this weekend and it's been a while since I've fished for trout. I have a fishing/hunting license but I'm wondering if I need a trout stamp too. Any help would be appreciated.

    My heart is heavy with all of you posting on here. My dad died last year at the age of 53. Today I wondered if you can ever stop grieving. My answer was "no." I spent the morning looking through his hunting & fishing gear, still the same way he kept everything. I imagine this is a difficult time for anyone who has experienced the loss of their parent. I pray for peace for those that are grieving.

    I am allergic to bees but have never been stung. I'm getting an epi pen next week. I don't want to risk not having one with hunting and fishing trips coming up. I'm not sure what the procedure is when you get stung and actually have to use it. But I always hunt & fish with my husband, so it makes me feel a little better knowing someone else is there in case something happens.

    Just wondering if anyone can recommend a reliable site for buying firearms. Guns are bit overpriced in my area and hardly worth it after huge sales tax. There are a ton of sites that do not charge sales tax or shipping. That, and a $20 ffl transfer fee sounds good to me. Right now I'm looking at ordering from Grab a Gun or kygunco. Does anyone have experience with these sites, or could maybe suggest another?

    My husband has the .40 and loves it. Very concealable and feels great. His has the thumb safety, but you can get one without. I personally like the safety. Recoil isn't bad either. He likes the trigger on the Shield but I've also heard complaints about it too. There's an Apex trigger kit for those who don't like it. It's a great gun though and I'm starting to want one myself in 9mm. Good luck with your purchase.
