    San Diego fish markets?

    Point Loma in SD Another option would be, since you'll be taking the 5 up to Irvine. Swing by Jon's Fish Market in Dana Point. Not a bad choice. But if you have time when you are in OC, Dory Fleet on the Peninsula near Newport Pier is definitely worth a visit. It was a weekly stop for me when I was a long time resident of Costa Mesa. And if you need a spot here in the valley, highly recommend Chula Seafood in South Scottsdale. Family owned and run a great shop. http://www.chulaseafood.com/

    Sleeping bags

    What temp rating are you looking for? That makes a big difference in weight and loft. Being that you are looking at a budget of $100, that might eliminate any down bags. Down bags are great for being light, warm and they stuff very small. As far as synthetic bags at that price range, check out the Marmot Trestles 0*. You can find them on backpacker.com for $115 most of the time (or check steep and cheap, division of backpacker.com). That would be my choice for a synthetic bag. But my suggestion, save up another $100 and look at a Kelty Cosmic Down 0*. It's a great bag for a good price.

    Hiking socks- what do you use

    I've always loved Smart Wool light hikers, but eventually end up wearing holes in them. Darn Tough look pretty nice. Looks like they might have them locally at AZ Hiking Shack and REI.

    Leftover poll

    No joke.

    Leftover poll

    34A General whitetail, hunt #1125. Mailed my app on Friday and now crossing my fingers.
  7. Permethrin dip your clothes. Or try Sawyer Picaridin 20% cream.
  8. I use a thermacell all the time when out duck hunting the early mountain zone or shooting dove the first week of Sept. I wouldn't hunt the early season without it. However, I haven't used it elk or deer hunting yet. So, not sure about scent.

    Best Day of Bass Fishing I've Ever Had

    Nice fish

    Wright armory?

    I've used them multiple times, but not necessarily for a muzzle break. They have worked on 2 of my Browning shotguns as well as my 1911. The first time was to thread a full choked barrel to accept chokes for my Browning B2000 12g. Second time was to change out my ejectors to extractors on my Citori Trap. Third time was for trigger work on my 1911. I would not hesitate to use them again.

    Washing an over sized sleeping bag

    Laundromat front loader XL machine. Or your bathtub. I've had to go both routes a couple of times.
  12. Bumping an old thread here. Just picked up my javelina from Von Hanson's yesterday. Had them process it into the jalapeno cheese bratwurst as hoghntr recommended. Amazing stuff. Put a couple into the sous vide yesterday with a half a beer. Finished them up on the grill. Turned out awesome and will be a good compliment for this weekend's brisket. Washed down with some Santory and was a happy camper. Thanks again for the recommendation. My hound was also pretty happy with the smoked beef shanks they sell.

    major pucker factor. vid w bad language 'beware'

    Nice. Looks like the guy received some decent stingray shanks at the end of the video. Ouch. Been there done that in Las Conchas. No bueno. We've been out on kayaks pretty far off the beach at Las Conchas fishing for triggers and rock bass. We'd get the occasional big dark spots cruising underneath the kayaks. Always figured them as dolphins....but I guess I'll have this video in the back of my mind. Thanks. Hahahaha.

    Dobyns Champion Mike Long Swimbait Rod

    Bump for a good deal. That's a sweeet swimbait rod. If I already didn't have the same one, I'd be all over this.

    Striper fishing

    Anchor up near the tires, chum with some anchovy heads and tails. Drop a green light and you should be into them just after sundown. Prior to sundown, troll a Staysee 90 SP in Castle or Humbug.
  17. They stocked a bunch of FL strain LMB in Roosevelt a while back. Now, I believe they are working on habitat for that lake. I believe, the only fish they stock into the Salt chain lakes are trout into Canyon, Saggy and Apache. If you have signed up for the "I Support Wildlife" program with AZGFD, they give you daily stocking reports (see pic below). From what I understand, the bass/cat/gill stockings are only in urban lakes. Saguaro is on fire right now. Literally fish in a barrel. Same with Bartlett, but you'll be having a good day if you catch a bass over 2# there.

    Fishing reel repair

    I have it if you still need it. Or just hit him up on Pro Swimbaits. Super good guy. He does great work on reels and pours killer baits. Just be prepared for a very long winded chat. Dude will talk your ear off.

    What sunglasses do you wear?

    When I'm fishing local lakes or out bird hunting, blue lens Costa 580G When I'm not on the lake, anything that's in the console of my truck.

    WTB Boat Anchor (15+ lb)

    Pending this other deal, and if it is indeed a 20 #, I would be interested. Please let me know. Thank you! Will do. I'll check when I get home from work and send you a message.

    WTB Boat Anchor (15+ lb)

    I have a 20# (I think it's 20#, I need to check) Danforth in my garage that I can part with for $20 if you'd like.

    Water purifiers.

    I've been using a MSR Miniworks since 1999. Works great, never an illness or a breakdown of the pump. Just gotta keep the filter clean.

    Elk Barbacoa

    Looks fantastic. I still have a couple of MN whitetail roasts in the freezer. I will have to try this.

    2008 FJ Cruiser .... $14000

    Great truck. I somewhat regret trading in my 2008 FJ m/t. Loved that truck
