| One of the Best Memorial Day Weekends Ever |
|
Fishing at Squaw Creek Reservoir was by far plentiful this Memorial Day Weekend , and if you weren't there, you might have been the only one. For such a small desert reservoir, our traditional Memorial Day Weekend trip turned out to be one of the busiest we've ever seen in the past 7 years. We all arrived Friday afternoon, only to find more than 40 campers and trailers pre-parked to join in the festivities of the three day holiday weekend..and what a weekend it was. Friday evening, Saturday morning and Saturday late afternoon turned into some of the Best Fishing that this reservoir has ever produced for us. Smooth waters, warm temperatures, and out of the four of us that fished from a tub...

Welcome to African Hunting Safaris blog, written by Joe and Becky McCray. We post pictures from our trips and news articles about the areas we've hunted. We've hunted three times with Vaughan Fulton's Classic Safaris . All the hunts were on communal conservancies. I encourage you to learn more about how this benefits the local people: About Namibia's Communal Conservancies NEWS: Conservancies Pay Local Dividends We posted an inital report at First pics from 2006 . The trip included two different areas, so the rest of our posts are divided into Kasika and Ehi Rovipuka. 2006 Kasika Conservancy, Caprivi Strip, Buffalo Hunt: Kasika Conservancy Animals at Kasika Hunting on foot and by boat The...

| Shitty Jigs |
|
I'm a huge fan of vertical jigging for walleye. But if there is one thing that bugs the hell out of me, it's these crappy quality ball head jigs that seem to be the only game available. Matzuo makes some really nice ones actually, with ultra sharp red sickle hooks, but they only come in 3/8 oz or smaller, and the only place I can find any is at the local Canadian Tire store. Here's a clue to all you jig makers out there. Do you really enjoy selling crappy jigs for like $0.30 a piece. Do you really think that's a good market to be in? Let me tell you something, I would love to pay a company $3.00 per jig if it was built with some top quality materials. Give me some 1/2 oz or 3/4 oz jigs wi...

| Who Says There's No Fishing in Nevada |
|
Groves Lake and Kingston Creek, Nevada Regulations: Open year around, any time of the day or night. Limit is 5 trout. Biologist Forecast for 2007: Fishing should be good for stocked and carry over rainbow trout, and the occasional brown trout that drifts down from the stream. The lake and the stream lie in a narrow, beautiful canyon. For more photos, Click Here . Stay tuned for more information about Groves Lake and Kingston Creek.... Have a Great Memorial Weekend -- we're outta here!

| Walleye, Lakers and Pike on Cabonga Reservoir |
|
I'll be joining a group of friends for 4 days of fishing in late June, this time we head up to Cabonga reservoir, a massive body of water north of Mont Laurier. Mike picked up some bathymetric maps which I will install on my GPS, of course I will be bringing my boat - I don't really like going to large lakes and use the small boats the outfitters rent, when the wind picks up in those areas of northern Quebec, you want to have a large boat for safety and comfort. I heard there are millions of places to hit bottom so I'll be riding the boat safely (no hot-dogging!) If any of you guys have been there before, I would love to hear about it. Which sectors did you fish, what kind of fish did you...

May 23, 2007 FISH OF THE WEEK: History or heart? In our area, a largemouth this heavy is rare: Mike Furlong caught his 9-pound bass, 23 7/8 inches with a girth of 19 3/4, from Lake Zurich on April 21 with a jig-n-pig on 40-pound line and an 8-foot flippin' stick. . . . For heart, smiling Holly Bowen, 16, of Crete, with an 11-pound catfish caught with a worm and bobber from Lake Sara last week. E-mail nominations to outdoordb@sbcglobal.net. NORTHERN WISCONSIN: Muskie opener: Muskie fishing north of Highway 10 opens Saturday. Minocqua guide Kurt Justice e-mailed, ''Unlike last year, this should be a good opener due to early spawn.'' In Hayward, Pastika's echoed that, suggesting some muskie ...

| 2007 Big Game Quotas |
|
I know this is a BLOG about fishing and I should be talking about where to go fishing for Memorial Weekend but I just ran across this interesting information from the Nevada Department of Wildlife's website that I thought all Big Game Hunters would be interested in.... "The following is a summary of the 2007 Big Game Quotas set at the Board of Wildlife Commissioners meeting, May 11-12, 2007 in Reno, Nevada." -- NDOW.org Total tag allocations across all hunts increased 11% from 2006. Resident Mule Deer Buck Rifle tags are up 11 % from 9,229 tags in 2006 to 10,290 tags in 2007. Resident Antlerless Mule Deer Rifle tags increased from 65 in 2006 to 440 in 2007. Amounts to 577% increase. Resid...

| Flying Over Pyramid, Fishing Oregon and Idaho |
|
We're still here... we've just not had an opportunity to get out and get some fishing in; luckily some of my fellow fisherman and friends have had the opportunity to enjoy some adventures... such as flying over Pyramid Lake for the first time, or catching some amazing fish in Idaho and Oregon... All I can say is that we are looking forward to Memorial Weekend to finally get some fishing in! One more thing...NDOW has stocked several bodies of Water in Northern Nevada -- so check them all out! Flight Over Pyramid If you've been to Pyramid Lake from the ground -- there's nothing more exciting than seeing it from the air. These photographs were taken just last week... AMAZING! More Photos Fly...
