You talking about the kelp just outside of Point Loma? Yellow Tail or Yellow Fins?

Traveling especially with kids for 10 days full hookups are great even if it is every few days so you can dump your tanks and recharge the batteries.

Sent you a PM.

I got to the lake at about 6:15 Friday Morning and it was a calm as can be. I fished with earthworm and mealworm about 30" under a bobber from a usually productive spot but the fish were not taking it very aggressive and after 15 minutes I moved to the spillway. The lake is full with water just going over the spillway a little bit. I had the same results here and at about 9:00 switched to green powerbait on the bottom and caught three trout in about 20 minutes. For being holdover fish they were skinny and 10-13". I moved again and the fish were actively feeding on some bugs that were getting blown onto the water as the wind had picked up to about 10 MPH. The bugs were a small fly looking insect and the trout fed on them up until I left at about 2:30. The fish would mostly stay in the shade of the trees and hit the bugs when they floated into the shaded water. I had a foam type dry fly that I trimmed down to about the same size and put it about 5 feet behind a bobber and cast it about 10 feet past the shade and let it drift into it. Twice fish rose to it and swirled but were wire enough not to take it. I was fishing 4# floroclear. I switched to a black Crickhopper and caught three more fish and things died down a bit so I put on a small gold castmaster and caught three more using a slow retrieve. I spoke to the woman in the General Store about how skinny the fish were and that last year almost all of the fish I caught the first day were two pounds or better and she said they had almost no snow this year so maybe that had something to do with it. I fished again on Saturday with about the same results but used mostly power eggs. The action was a little hotter and a couple in a boat said they had about six or eight fish all caught trolling rooster tails. The campgrounds are all still closed so I camped off the 300 Road in a designated camping area and went hiking on Sunday for two hours before coming back. Temps were close to freezing at night.

I did go to the general store and looked at their flies but I didn't see one like the bug. I did buy what looked like a Royal Coachman and tried that on Saturday. Fish took it three times but each time I was not paying attention and missed setting the hook.

Hanksaiditbest, yes there is a free boat launch there. No Gas motors, electric only. I posted a full report in the fishing section. Good time to go if you are a fly fisherman. Mosquitoes are hatching at about 8ish when it warms up and bugs were getting hammered once the wind picked up enough to blow them into the water.

The 300 Rd is open. I went up on friday and fished Woods Canyon and camped a few miles north of there. Temps are close to freezing at night. Holdovers are skinny.

Typical AZG&F nonsense.

Bilsteins.

Someone mentioned 4/1.

What a mess to be in. That happens every once in a while between Phoenix and Flagg on I-17.

Very cool. My truck has 267K on it and now I'm hearing it needs new injectors so I could definitely use a new one.

That's great. Will she be going to the Academy in Colorado Springs?

SIGNED!

My Credit Union always takes a few days for it to show up.

Probably Friday or Monday they will start hitting CC's.

Crock Pot recipes are good but I find a Crock Pot gets too hot so use a dutch oven so I can control the temp better and just put it in the oven.

Don't care about sports other than Little League or High School. It does a lot to teach kids how to associate with others and get along but it really has not other cause. Professional Sports like the NFL should be disbanded.

Caribou.

Never shopped at QVC, but here it 0n there for $29.00

There have been a lot of changes at H&S since I bought a stock from them 25 years ago.

Do you know what time visitation is?

Last year I didn't get an email. But my CC is good thru the end of the month.

So, I went and met Brad last night and looked at the Kimber. He and I talked for a bit, maybe 15 minutes and he is a clean cut normal guy who works for a living in the trades like myself and probably most of the rest of you. The gun had some wear which he was upfront about and pointed it out and the action felt tight, we exchanged business cards and went on our merry way. I'd have no second thoughts about purchasing from him again.

Here is some more info on it too. I have some ammo that says SS109 on the outside of the box but it is not green tip but will attract a magnet.
