Great news!! Quitting and abandoning your buddies after years of dreams, massive amounts of money spent and hard training is now not only allowed but appreciated and applauded! And Rosey went up a whole 16" after all the rains.

Like Kevin said, I'm glad I got to meet him and hear some of his stories. Man, he was a story telling dude. He stated several times that he would never be able to go on the ocean again and that clearly bothered him. Sorry that turned out to be the case. Good guy. RIP Lee...

Wondering if bears that typically hit a reliable water source during dry conditions will continue to use it when water is everywhere just out of habit? Or do they up and vanish and utilize the available pools of water more like deer do?

I wouldn't worry about it... Kevin doesn't get insulted that easily.

But wait..... There's more..... Insert "kicking the dead horse emoji here" Somehow ran across his name again and found some more recent stuff. This is not all of it, just what a quick search turned up. Real short story is: He didn't skate with a small fine and probation. Feds indicted him on 2018 after his initial AZ problems came to light. Defendant pled guilty in the predecessor case to one count of possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. Defendant was sentenced in October 2019 to 46 months in prison. He is serving but has appealed. Appeals were denied on all counts on May, 20th, 2020 United States v. McReynolds Earlier case CR-18-08052 8 pending Federal charges Count 1. Possession of a firearm and ammo while a convicted felon Counts 2&3 killing or harassing wild burros Count 4 providing guiding services in violation of federal law Count 5 taking and transporting a mule deer from Grand Canyon National Park Count 6 taking and transporting elk antlers from Grand Canyon National Park Counts 7&8 structuring financial transactions at a financial institution to evade reporting requirements. https://www.casemine.com/judgement/us/5ed5dd5f4653d0348fdf7a6c https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/14543469/parties/united-states-v-mcreynolds/ Older AZ prison history https://www.publicpolicerecord.com/arizona/doc-prisoner/LOREN_MCREYNOLDS/190891

That would be the same 3 they currently have...

If by fantasy league you mean imagining that I and my friends actually drew tags, count me in...

Interesting last thread he started recently. Things that make you go Hummmm... RIP

At the 4 peaks parking lot, GnF stopped my buddy from unloading due to a lack of a sticker. He told him to renew on line and just screenshot it. 10 mins later, we were headed up the road.

What about the F word??

Sounds like only 1 soul on board and he is missing. https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/oceanside-fishing-vessel-catches-fire-off-carlsbad-coast-coast-guard-searching-for-survivors/509-ab3c2f2a-7087-4197-9bfb-394ecf6f6cb3

If she's not locked into the Raptor, the TRX is sweeeet! Expensive but nice.

Welllll????? Wake up and let us know how you did. Interested in a 6 pack here shortly and would love to know what you found.

Correct but you can still do all the transactions at the 3rd party offices and then you get the plate and sticker the mail so you never have to visit the MVD. Odd but still a win..

Yes sir!!! Bahaha.. that was funny! That's him on the right side of the top pic..

Returned this morning from a 1.5 day on the Pacific Queen with limits of 30-70# fish with the majority being well over 50. Apparently the day before they were only finding the 20/40 class fish so yay for the nicer fish. The fish are in very close. We spent the entire time between La Jolla and Del Mar not far from shore. The boat got good bait and fuel prior to our departure so we left around 7:00PM and we got on fish at midnight. The usual flatfalls, coltsnipers and even big knife jigs were working. The heaviest jigs were preferred and also got to the zone faster. At sunrise, the switch to flylined bait worked. Steady amount of fish caught that way. Stayed on fish but bite slowed about 1:00PM till the evening hit. Had a great school of good sized fish that wanted to play just after dark and wow, what a cluster f$@k.. 30+ lines down to 250' and 6 to 10 fish over 50# hooked up at the same time makes for the biggest mess of rods and lines you can possibly imagine. No clue how many were lost but we had to stop fishing as we limited the boat in short order. Never saw a dropper rig go in the water the entire trip. We had several boats in the area but not more than eight or so at any one time until the night bite, then maybe a dozen or so and screaming could be heard from many boats. Fish counts are kind of all over the place but with the fish this close, you are able to fish two nights if needed. The captain, Gavin said we would be fishing till 3AM if needed. Luckily it wasn't and we were able to get a good nights sleep before returning to the dock. (Having cell service the entire time was kind of nice too) Pic is of my buddy that has blanked on BF until yesterday. Congrats Josh!!

And since all of these events weren't riots, they were probably grouped into the fireworks category...

I dug out a bunch of tuna bellies out of the freezer, will brine them tonight and into the smoker in the AM..

dang Russian hackers...

So the next question is: Who got drawn but didn't have 2100.00 in the account and so lost their tag?

Blahhh.. Uck...

From Lake Pleasant yesterday, the Tiger fire was eating fast.. I wish my phone hadn't died. Big dark smoke plumes with a big thunderhead directly above it made for a pretty amazing photo opp..

Tempting and if a job falls through on Monday, I may be up for it. Look at the weather map, there is a storm brewing down south just below Puerto Vallarta.. I have no idea if it matters in the least to the fish but just something to be aware of.

I wish I had your will power... But I don't.. So, 2 more weeks and out on the Pacific Queen to try again....
