    Had a good time on a 1.5 trip on the Tribute last weekend. We fished off Colonet in Baja and the yellowtail were scarce but the afternoon bottom fishing for reds and lings was excellent. It was a nice change from tuna fishing. The Tribute  is running this trip on weekends through this month but I think they are pretty well booked. The Liberty out of Fishermans is also running similar trips. Double dropper loops with 10 to 20 ounces of lead was the ticket for us…We did actually hit blue fin first thing in the morning and a fewguys landed them on flylines.

    Thanks for the tip, and yea, I always spring for a boat with an enclosed head when the lady comes along so pangas are out. Looks like sailfish and wahoo are whats best in March. Sounds like you got a dandy one, good for you for releasing it.

    Looks like the wife has us in Cancun for a day or two enroute to the island Holbox in early March. 

    Plan to fish a day in Cancun with a sportfishing charter. 

    Anyone have experience with an outfit down there?  We would hire a private boat and guide for a full day. 

    Thanks for looking.

    Used 78" diameter 110V "plug & play" hot tub, Tuff Spa made in Glendale, AZ.

    Used and sold as is, several jets don't work and all should re replaced along with an unfortunate jet caulking job from a few years ago.

    These things are awesome, we are upgrading to a new TuffSpa model which will be delivered next month.

    Located in midtown Tucson near Reid Park. Would trade for a revolver, .22-38.

    $400 on CWT, it also on Craigslist for $500 and more info/pics are here: https://tucson.craigslist.org/for/d/tucson-plug-play-tuff-spa/7407446864.html

    Thanks for looking. IMG_2246.thumb.JPG.f855d8b41ec454424e64d85302c381e2.JPGIMG_2479.thumb.JPG.6c0aca008bd7778d14b49b6eb6073f7b.JPG

    Up for sale is a pair of Made in the USA Force Fins. $75.

    I used these back when I was doing a lot of float tube fishing, but they have other applications.

    This pair can be worn with wading boots or with the light neoprene boots provided. I wear a size 11 wading boot and think they will work with 10-12 or so.

    I don't see this model on the site: https://forcefin.com/

    I have owned them for over 7 years and got them 2nd hand.

    Would also trade for a ML or M bass casting rod 6-7'

    They are in Tucson, thanks for looking.

    Yea, Dickman’s closed to sportsmen for game processing, they are still open. 

    Great deli and butcher, but in 2008  I  brought them a skinned and quartered buck with the straps removed , decent 80+ or so Coues. Went  back and picked up close to 55# of processed meat. After that  I never went back. Not sure who elses buck I got, When I told them that seems like a lot of meat they said what are you complaining about it’s a lot of meat. it did taste good though.

    Willcox Meat Processing does keep a refrigerated trailer open, at least during hunting season, south of Ajo and west of Palo Verde, for drop off and pick up. I used them a few years ago. 

    Since Dickman’s closed the Tucson community has been underserved so it is good news if there is another processor. 

    I still like WGP and use them whenever I can, but I don’t know if they can handle the volume of the entire Tucson community.

    I finally got a $90 charge for two deer tags this AM. My 3/4/5 choices all traditionally have leftovers and/or are easily attained in those draw choice selections, but I was starting to sweat it after Tuesday morning with nothing pending.

    I have no knowledge of Vancouver but I would look at doing whatever you’d like to do in Seattle and not plan on fishing from there directly. 

    There are charters for Coho (aka Silver) salmon and usually the limit is 2. You might check a Chinook (king) but Coho is probably pretty reliable by mid July. Earlier probably not as much. Grays Harbor is the area I am familiar with.

    They run albacore tuna charters out of that port too. It would be a full day trip from Seattle and require an overnight stay. I would probably fish for tuna one day and Coho the next.

    If you have a car rental you can pay for it to be ferried  across the Puget Sound and drive down Highway 101 through the Olympic Peninsula to get to Grays Harbor. That is an incredible drive and  an experience in and of itself. Plenty of water on the way too. 

    You can also fish in some of the coastal trib rivers east and north of Seattle, But if you want to catch and kill fish go to the ocean. 

    It’s been almost a decade but the last time I fished out of Grays Harbor the limit was three and the five people we had on our charter boat limited no problem.
