    Deep Sea Fishing Out of San Diego

    I rented the first two years, then bought my own gear. Over the last 5 years we've pulled in the 20-30lbs Tuna and I've appreciated having my own gear. I'd rent again if I didn't have my own since it's way cheaper, but I would 100% bring some color tape or elastic bands so that you can see your rod on the wall of of 25 other rods just like it. The only time I lost a fish due to a bad knot was when someone grabbed my rental and I had to take another rod. The tuna was at the water and then the hook just came off. Just a note on the take-down rods: We have the same 20+ guys on the boat every year, and a couple years ago someone bought a high-end take down game fishing rod because they were flying in from Michigan. With a fish on, the end section came off and he lost the fish and use of his rod. It is the only experience I have with a take down, but that is enough for me

    Just bought a Traeger and really?

    Second this, but since I don't want to deal with the vacuum I just scoop out the ashes a couple of times a year and then use a blower to get the rest out ... Just make sure the wind is blowing in the direction you want! I got a Louisiana pellet smoker at Costco on clearance for $200 and freaking love it

    2020 GMC Canyon new price

    Sell it to Carmax - or at least get an initial appraisal online. Both cars i sold to them went for more than the trade-in and better than I would have expected in private party. They love trucks.

    Things to do in Tucson w/10yr old?

    +1 on this one - the magic shop has the guy do tricks in front of you and there's a few other activities Air and Space museum is excellent and you wont see it all If you guys shoot bows for $3 each you can walk the target courses in Tucson Mountain park Hike up Piccacho peak on the way down to Tucson, it's an awesome hike and amazing views and there's a DQ right across the way for the reward If you are up for a little drive - consider AZ Zipline adventure (check availability online), it's a cool experience and the kids loved it and depending on the weekend they might have a grill your own night where you can bring your steak and they provide drinks, music, and you can even camp there overnight. For japanese food - Kukai (Mt Fuji Don Bowl) has a outside bar area For burgers - currently digging love-burger downtown For sandwiches - Beyond Bread For BBQ - Brother Johns is awesome For breakfast on a budget - Franks For breakfast with a bit more $- 5 points or Cafe A La Cart For mexican there's tons, but currently liking toto's For something different the ethiopian place in 5 points is awesome

    Lighted Nocks

    I bought the Deepower nock after watching a lusk archery review. They added 24 grains to the arrow (they are 32 and my existing nock was 8). I just googled the review and it looks like they updated to nock to prevent it coming on when you nock the arrow without chaing the weight. Battery lasts a while, and the dead ones I use when practicing so I have the right weight without burning the good ones up.

    Have you ever ate here?

    They do a good breakfast. If you walk in through the horns there's a bar with a few tables, if you walk in to the side (from the parking lot) there's a massive dining room. Always preferred the bar, burgers and breakfast are good.

    AT&T or Verizon - which is better for hunting

    I used to have Verizon and switched last Black Friday to T-Mobile and cannot wait to go back. In the southern units Verizon wins

    Food vacuum sealer or the like

    I moved from a foodsaver to the big AVID Armor chamber sealer. It's awesome and half the price off most chamber sealers. Had it for a year, and no issues. The foodsaver is still needed if you have really long packages, but for fish it's extended the freezer life with no burn and works great on liquid.

    Coues Backpack Hunt Optics

    Yeah, I figured I'd lose that, it's bulky, but was trying to protect the housing. I only have the stay-on for the eye piece. With it off I bet it fits better on the side. I was strapping it on the rear. Thanks man!

    Coues Backpack Hunt Optics

    What pack do you have with that? I went 8 miles this weekend carrying 10s and the 65mm BTX with water, but getting it strapped in and balanced was a pain. I have the small K3 Exo and the carrying case on the BTX.

    38M still a hunt?

    I didn’t even think about checking regulations until after I picked my OTC tags this week but December 38M doesn’t appear to be in the regs… am I just missing it?
