Missed the dove opener to fish a few days out of San Jose del Cabo in Baja. The marlin fishing was insane, landed & released 3 Striped from 80-100# and lost another after about a 15 minute fight, plus a beautiful 80# pez vela released and a few dorado kept one day, the next day I just wanted to fill the freezer and took 5 dorado, we missed two wahoo on the troll and killed a few skipjack for cut bait.

Sea of Cortez mostly, out of the San Jose Del Cabo marina, I've caught several marlin over the years right out front of the resorts in those waters, but in general they fish south to Palmilla north to Vinorama. Never been to Los Barriles but would like to fish it some day.

We always fish with Gordo Banks Pangas. When possible we request Capt. Lupe for a bigger boat (my wife joins me if the boat has a head) and if I am solo I like to fish with a captain named Jesus on a 26' panga.

Headed to Lincoln/Tatum area tomorrow through Friday AM, then downtown PHX for a few hours midday Friday (7th Ave/McDowell).

Bump.

TTT, will be in the PHX area, Tatum/Lincoln next Wednesday to Friday

I did not construe "listening technology" to mean communication, which is what cell phones and 2 way radios provide and facilitate. I think and hope they mean advanced hearing aids, etc. That being said, as someone who may not have the closed the deal on a big game animal, or two or three, without someone 1,000 yards back on the glasses and radio saying, "No, moron, he is behind the same tree he was when you left, not the tree you are looking at now..." I am not sure my current use is always consistent with the true sense of fair chase. Or, at least, they have made me lazy in some situations by relying too heavily on someone else over the radio to "walk me in." However, I will use them until its explicit that they are banned. AK doesn't allow them.

I have these in all my packs and use them religiously in any shooting situation. Most of my hunting partners are peasants with muzzle brakes and I'm not deaf yet: https://www.surefire.com/ep4-sonic-defenders-plus/

THX to all who replied. Looking for an older (but not too old = friction dial) Leupold VX-II or VXIII in 3-9x40 or 3-9x50. I am in Tucson but will be in the Valley in a few weeks. Thanks for looking.

TTT for .410 or magnum pistols shooters

Quick hunts or helping out for a night or two I sleep in the back of a truck with the camp series 2" Therma-Rest, light weather/2-4 days I use the smaller Kodiak 8.5x6 on a cot with a Therma-Rest, extended hunts or more serious weather I pull out the Kodiak 10x10. Lag bolts with a cordless impact wrench seriously improved my setup/take down time and happiness with the Kodiak on hard ground SoAZ hunts.

Any chance this is still available? I'm in Tucson and will PM you.
