Arizona Fishing

Nice! I've been wanting to get an inflatable for awhile now. Shore fishing gets boring after a while.

 

Yeah

I don't really care to shore fish on lakes. I need to get out on canyon lake. Last time I was there I saw a bunch of guys floating around fishing. Saw a couple pull out a few nice size bass too.

 

How well do they balance with 2 people on them? Also how much did yours cost?

 

I believe mine only cost me 200 bucks but then you need a skeg and paddles. Skeg is about 15 bucks and you can get either cheap paddles or a nicer set light I did for 40 bucks. I think it's pretty stable. I don't like standing up in it but sitting down in it with me and my wife is nice. Don't ever feel like we are going to flip it. Between me and my wife we are about 300lbs plus gear and a cooler so probably looking around 350 to 400lbs total and it's nice. I really like paddle around on the lakes in it. I need to get out more this year with them.

 

Those are all I drink while I'm in vegas! With like 2 shots of tequila added! I try to leave my money for the gambling not the drinks.

 

2 of them has the same alcohol as 8 beers, so there's that. I can get a great buzz for $4 and destroyed for under $10

 

buy a $10 plastic bottle of vodka or whiskey. shit tastes better than what you drink

 

Totally random, but I'd like to go with you for some north shore Pleasant fishing someday.

 

Now you're talking. I'm going to give it another stab with some live bluegills for catfish this Saturday night. I plan to get out there many times this summer, especially now that I have a 100 gallon bait tank with filtration set up in my backyard, and a reliable source for bluegills.

 

Wha????

This an important detail you did not share with me

 

That's pretty fucking intense.

 

I take that shit seriously and go hardcore when it comes to catfishing. My fishing partner also has a 100 gallon and a 300 gallon bait holding setup at his house (he has a real pond also, and uses those tanks to farm pond plants). He's loaded with bluegill, too. I think he had about 60 at last count and I have 14 left in mine to cycle the setup, but I'm headed out for a refill tomorrow.

I also have a 100 quart white Igloo cooler converted into my truckbed livewell. Has full battery powered aeration to keep those little bastards alive during the drive and all night. I kept about 30 bluegills alive just in that cooler for 5 days with only 2 water changes and without a single dead one.

 

Here's the little bastards in the tank in my yard. I'm running old-school undergravel filter plates with 2 good sized powerheads with venturi aeration.

That's insane.

I'm jelly

 

Sweet, I've seen some of your previous trips, I'd like to chill on shore in a northern cove and hunt cats (and, gasp... carp!) I'll bug you in the late May to June timeframe and try and link up for one of those trips.

 

I do carp, too. Got a bunch of new method weights and hair rigs. I even have a remote controlled bait boat.

 

Anyone looking to buy a jon boat? I'm thinking about selling my 12' aluminum flat bottom with a 2001 evinrude 8hp outboard. Has a trailer with lights and maybe 6 month old tires

 

Pics and price?

 

Not the best pictures but its in good shape, no loose rivets or leaks, made a plywood floor that is sealed and wrapped with turf. Engine cover latch is broken so I have electrical tape holding it on but it runs great, just put fresh plugs in and took the carb apart to clean it a couple weeks ago.

Not really sure what its worth and craigslist is all over the place. $1300 seem fair for boat, motor, and trailer?

 

Meh pass on carp but I need to slay some cat fish
