From almost exactly a year ago. Been swamped with work this year and haven't gotten out to Plez much. But been to Bartlett and Rosy a bunch this year (easier on a weekend for me). I usually try and stay away from Plez during the weekends. That same technique has worked year after year after year. But if you're in the market for a guide, go with The Hook Up or AZ Fishing Guides. I imagine you couldn't go wrong with either.

Troll a DD22 in either white splatter black or in pearl white near in the channel leading to Humbug just before sundown. Once it gets dark out, anchor in 50' - 70' of water, drop a green light 10' below the boat and start chumming with frozen cut anchovies. The action should start in 30 min or less. If it doesn't, move spots. Dropshot cut anchovies on a 1/0 circle hook on 6# flouro line and it should be game on. It works.

That's a good pack. TW has those on sale from time to time. A few backseaters I've fished with in the past have used the same one. I have an older Browning backpack with a similar build that I use pond fishing around McCormick.

Long Lake used to be loaded with huge craws. Not sure how it is now after it dried up a few years back. But we just used leftover chicken drumsticks and t-bone steaks bones from the BBQ from the night before.

Does anyone use “off brand” trail cams from Amazon?

I've had pretty good luck with Campark cameras. -
Kombucha does suck. The wife drinks that crap. I'll stick with Coors banquet.

Doing an 11# rib roast sous vide tomorrow. Roast is currently in the fridge uncovered with a liberal dose of kosher salt. Dumping it in a 132* bath for 6 hours, then a quick egg wash and a heavy dose of an herb rub. Then under a hot broiler until a decent crust is formed. Always seems to be a hit. Other ways that have worked well is on a kettle indirect (250*) until about 120*, then over hot coals to crust it up with an herb rub. I'd probably be going that route this year, but going over to someone else's house for Xmas dinner.

Yep. Really the only way I'll cook chicken breasts. Next time you do that, throw a sprig of thyme or rosemary in the bag before you seal it up for the bath.

I see boats like this all the time at Saguaro with a 9.9 HP on the back. Saguaro is not nearly as busy since the weather has cooled off. However, Saggy fishing is pretty tough after the recent bout with Golden Algae. If you're looking to catch numbers, go to Bartlett. Drop shot and T-rigged craws are the ticket as of last weekend.

You are correct with being able to cook sous vide at a lower temperature while still being safe. It's all about pasteurization. Kenji Lopez has a pretty big write up about this (which you may have already read). For comparison, I have been cooking chicken via sous vide at 142* (2 hours) for years with zero issues. I wouldn't see any issues at going 135*, in fact I may even try this myself after reading this thread.

Keep it. I had a somewhat similar experience years back. When my grandfather on my mother's side passed away years back, we were going thru the old barn in Litchfield, MN and came across a very old, rusted out New Aubrey 12G. Mom told me to keep the shotgun (apparently it was my great-grandfather's) and do whatever you want with it. Ended up getting it back here to AZ wondering what the heck I was going to do with it, let it sit? Sell it? Restore it? I chose the latter and took a few months researching it, calling companies on the east coast (Numrich) for parts, etc. Ended up doing a decent job with the restoration and now it has a story to tell.

Cabela's and Sitka both make tall sized clothing. https://www.cabelas.com/browse.cmd?categoryId=734095080&CQ_search=tall&CQ_view=list&CQ_ref=~c1-Clothing~c2-Men%27s%2BHunting%2BClothing

One item to keep in mind, if you run trail cameras with microSD cards, you can put the SD card in a Samsung phone in order to check mass amounts of photos quickly as well as do mass deletes in seconds without reformatting and deleting everything on the card. Saving the photos from your trail cam onto a Samsung phone is easy and takes very little time. I had to do that this weekend and was satisfied with the results.

Nice job on the canoe. Fantastic idea. Did you mount a trolling motor to it? I wonder if AZGFD would want to do a cash grab and need it registered since it may have a motor on it? They informed a buddy of mine he needed registration, when he mounted a 30# MinnKota tiller on 13ft Old Town years back at Blue Ridge. I picked up a couple teal while out doing some late season elk scouting on Saturday.

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

I am right handed and left eye dominant. I shoot rifles, shotguns and bows left handed. Play golf, tennis and shoot a pistol right handed. Never seemed to have an issue. I use right handed rifles/shotguns that either have the safety on top or one that I can swap to the other side.

This. Prices also went up and the Bargain Cave is pretty much non-existent.

Cool pics! Some fat smallmouth, nice fish.
