You're GOOD folks TJ & Peg!!! Sincere congrats and happy wishes to you both! S.

that's funny right there......I was thinking about that the other day when I was driving... LOL! so does he still get credit when you had to remind him?? LOL! and by the way.... he forgot 2 years in a row!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! James Yep! Actually now that I think about it, shouldn't TJ have an Outlook calendar too? Couldn't he just post his own reminder to himself? To your point though, maybe TJ owes me some kind of commission? S.

If I was going to the Salt for catfish, that's the spot I would go to. Muddy Banks / Diversion area....... A well known 'not so secret' honey hole for cats! We used to go there tons when I was in high school, and always had a blast. The problem at that location could be your buddy's hip though. It's about 90% river-rock and soft sand. I've been to Bartlett a couple of times for cats, and we did pretty good. Plus at Bartlett you there are many places that you can drive right to the water. Depending on your friend's condition, that might be something for you to check-out. Good luck! S.

Nice!!! I love catfishing, especially with kids! Good stuff! S.

Awesome fish, and a great pic! I see the guys catching Redfish on TV sometimes, and it looks like a blast! Never had the pleasure myself though..... Thanks for sharing! S.

VERY awesome!!!!! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

+1000 to ALL of the comments! AWESOME! Nice fat trout, too! S.

+1 Excellent! S.

With the deer draws coming, I couldn't resist posting these links. My kids are all a bit older now and I don't think we'll be back up there again (at least not for a Youth hunt). We've had some amazing great memories there over the years! Have fun up there!!!

I agree! Highway 89A will get you right-up on the Kiabab with no problem! BTW, that is an AWESOME hunt for the kids! Have fun and good luck! S.

Ugh..... Me too! LOL Amazing pics (and tongue/cheek humor....)! S.

Outstanding!!!!! Camping, hunting, fishing, or really ANYTHING with kids is great! Looks like a couple of nice plump trout too! Thanks for sharing. S.

Whether you get them within gun range or not, just being in the woods with a shotgun when they're gobbling is a treat! Especially so when you're doing it on the North Rim! Good luck next time! S.

Taking pictures while driving is dangerous! S.

Hey Carlos! I just saw this post. Unfortunately it's looking like I'll be out of the country for work during that time. My brother-in-law is a big golfer though, and he lives in Tucson. I'll definitely forward this info to him! S.

VERY awesome, Peg!!!! You must have a great guide! S.

Man, that's a sweet looking machine! A guy could get rich making/selling those things based on the responses here! Congrats to the winning bidder/trader! S.

'AZGFD is a just a bunch of money hungry......' Really? You must not know many Wildlife Managers in this state. In case you haven't noticed, EVERYTHING is more expensive and is changing every year (not just with AZ G&F). Do you really expect the department to run on the same budget they have in the past? The whole 'it's all about money' argument makes it sound like the department is getting rich off of this stuff. Again, do you actuall know many folks in the department at the grass roots level? I agree with your comments regarding their solicitation of opinions, to a point. You're right in that not much is going to stop them from raising fees in the future. Tough crap for you and I! It's simple economics.... Get involved and organize your input. Letters, phone calls, and participation in Commission meetings may not change the world, but it can't hurt, IMO. S.

That is a GREAT price on a GREAT tent. Anyone who has used a Springbar knows they are an amazing design! Kodiak has done a great job of providing this tent design with great quality! Congrats to the winning bidder! S. PS: A buddy of mine uses this tent, and there are some awesome awning/vestibule additions that can expand the 'rain cover' for camping gear in a nice way for this tent.

Wow! Big one, for sure! Might want to post over at MM. S.

Now that really IS funny, Casey! Good stuff.... S.

Your name calling only got one of your posts deleted. No trouble.... S.

I love baseball!!!! D-backs let me down yesterday! S.

Big Lake for sure! Also, if you're staying in Greer be sure to stop at that little store on the right before you get to the first bridge (I think it's a motel too.....). They might be able to tell you if they're biting on anything at the Greer Lakes..... Good luck! S.

Wow Coach! Thanks for the report. Sounds like the river is coming back nicely! S.
