yeah john, it was called club cube' formerly club verano beat i believe up toward the end of the hotels near where the captain hook dinner boat goes out. the last time we went with aqua world, but had a lot of wasted time traveling through the lagoon. jason

Well after alot of worry about the swine flu and near change of destination, we finally decided to go back to cancun again and had a great time. Contrary to popular belief, there wasnt anybody dying on the streets or washing up in the waves. everything was like normal except that it was way less crowded than usuall. we arrived at the hotel a bit early so they set us up with some drinks and stored our luggage and off to get a bite of lunch at one of the all inclusive restraunts on the place. the food was always good and so were the drinks. i really got my money's worth at the bar each day way too many bannana coladas, beers, and tequilla shots. other than my deep sea trip, we didnt do any of the other trips this time, just relaxing, and shopping was the main thing with our annual trip the the bubba gump shrimp factory, man was it good. Now for the fishing. i booked a shared charter at the hotel for 6 hours. My wife didnt want to go this time, since she isnt that big into fishing so it was just me. i was up early and caught the bus outside the hotel for my 7:00 am trip. arrived early got signed in and waited to see who i would be with. As luck would have it, i was teamed up with a nice couple from Alberta and that was it. just the 3 of us i cant remember their names so i will just refer to them as mrs and mr. alberta. i was liking my odds from the start. After introductions we were off and excited to go. The guy running the place had fun feeding these birds some bait fish for the kids to see. they would come down and take the fish right out of his hand. on the way i notice this, and we sure hoped we would be tipping at the end of the day. we get to the fishing grounds after a rough ride and get lines out and start our troll hopefully for some mahi mahi's. about 3 minutes into the first troll and bang line goes off, so we get mrs. alberta in the chair. nothing huge but a nice little bonita Then mr. alberta gets one, then i get one, then we repeat it all again and again and mrs. A gets a double These were fun, but they were all about the same size and no mahi's or marlin in sight so the captain comes down and suggests we use some of the bonita as cut bait and go for some drift fishing. we all agree and off we go. i get another beer and take a leak as im comming out of the john mrs. a is needing in and getting sea sick. so she does her thing and is miserable and done for the day. i feel bad for her, but hey that only leaves two of us fishing so we get to the first drift and bang fish on Mr. A starts reeling and bang there goes the other line double header of Barracudda. After that Mr. A hooks up and looses one near the boat and i get another. we move again and as we are going, look out Mr. A starts feeling it too so off to the edge he goes and chums the water some and is out of commission so then its just me as the lone fisherman and i do my best. i slayed them lol i caught 4 nice cuddas and a red snapper before we moved again. by the time we stopped at the next drift Mr. A had come back around and fished some more and caught a decent grouper and another barracuda and i caught a couple more cuda's and a nice trigger fish. All in all i managed 8 Barracuda's 4 bonita's a red snapper and a trigger fish. in my six hours. oh i also managed to drink plenty of beers. lol It was a great trip, great fishing and lots of relaxing cant wait to do it again. thanks for reading. jason

very true rick especially for sheep and goats. i have my pup on order currently for our coyote problem. not sure how they would work for a pack of wolves. jason

i assume that this wolf was taken legally, therefore i have no problem with it. as far as the livestock predation, yes it is a fact that these animals will take a calf from a farm. to most of you that may not seem like too big of a deal, however if someone was to come and steal your paycheck once or twice a year im sure you wouldnt be to happy! to the farmer, that is exactly what that calf represents without it to sell in the fall or spring they may not be able to pay their bills or farm payments just like you may not be able to pay your electric bill or car payment. jason

nice going there for sure! had to be a blast reeling in those toothy critters. jason

def. sam kinnison, i think he was killed in a car wreck. jason

a good thing to have is duct tape it does come in very handy to fix holes in boat or what ever else might come up. jason

mine would have to be....... 1. #4 double loon 2. white mepps #3 3. senko 4. jig and live leech 5. old school heddon devil diver in blue and silver jason

solo, you have had so many great reports, but this one might just be the best one you have ever put on here. what a great time for the two of you. great times to cherish for ever. congrats on a great trip. jason

not a bad eating fish at all, put some spices and butter in foil and grill or batter and fry. you will like it alot! every 2-4 lber i catch get kept. jason

great report, looks like alot of fun. congrats on a memorable trip. jason

i found this on another web site, and thought it was a pretty good read. jason The Other Day, Someone At A Store In Our Town Read That A Methamphetamine Lab Had Been Found In An Old Farmhouse In The Adjoining County. He Asked Me A Rhetorical Question, 'why Didn't We Have A Drug Problem When You And I Were Growing Up?' I Replied That I Did Have A Drug Problem When I Was Young: I Was Drug To Church On Sunday Morning. I Was Drug To Church For Weddings And Funerals. I Was Drug To Family Reunions And Community Socials No Matter The Weather. I Was Drug By My Ears When I Was Disrespectful To Adults. I Was Drug To The Woodshed When I Disobeyed My Parents, Told A Lie, Brought Home A Bad Report Card, Did Not Speak With Respect, Spoke Ill Of The Teacher Or The Preacher, Or If I Didn't Put Forth My Best Effort In Everything That Was Asked Of Me. I Was Drug To The Kitchen Sink To Have My Mouth Washed Out With Soap If I Uttered A Profanity. I Was Drug Out To Pull Weeds In Mom's Garden And Flower Beds And C Ockleburrs Out Of Dad's Fields. I Was Drug To The Homes Of Family, Friends, And Neighbors To Help Some Poor Soul Who Had No One To Mow The Yard, Repair The Clothesline, Or Chop Some Firewood.and If My Mother Had Ever Known That I Took A Single Dime As A Tip For This Kindness, She Would Have Drug Me Back To The Woodshed. Those Drugs Are Still In My Veins, And They Affect My Behavior In Everything I Do, Say, And Think. They Are Stronger Than Cocaine, Crack, Or Heroin; And If Today's Children Had This Kind Of Drug Problem , America Would Be A Better Place To Live. God Bless The Parents Who Drugged Us

cool looking deer, we raised a small fawn buck one time that was all white except for on his head. jason

well for us southerners cuba isnt an option yet at least. thinking maybe virgin islands or dominican republic. its a shame, we have been to cancun twice and just loved it both times, never any crime or trouble in the hotel zone. the only revenge was from too many coronas and bannana colodas.lol jason

i guess a few fans were hurt slightly by some debris, but man it could have been alot worse if that retaining fence hadnt held up. very glad to see everyone ok after that. props to edwards for doing his best ricky bobby impression to finish out the race. jason

yeah, dawg thats why im not sure if it will be any safer other places as well.might just head to the keys or bama

wasnt to worried about it entering my body in that area gcd. lol i think im gonna start looking into other area's to go, we have until one week before to decide. jason

ive been following this pretty close, we are booked to go to cancun mexico on june 15th, the other couple that were going with us are already talking about backing out. as of right now, we are still planning on going. not sure how bad this thing might get. there have already been several reported cases in new york, nova scotia, california and now 1 in ohio. the one thing in common is mexico vacations. i talked with the travel people today and of course the tickets can only be changed for the destination within the same week. any thoughts on what we should do? or where else to go? jason

man is the dominant creature so far. we have a right to defend what we want, when and if cormarants take that positition from us let them do as they please. we have no cormants in southern ohio that i know of, but i am currently in a battle with black head vultures who are very aggressive towards cattle especially while calving, they will pick the eyes out of new born calves and attack the cow at the anus during parturation(birthing) they are a protected specie, but i will be damned if i set back and watch the show .22 usually ends it in a hurry. damn me if you want, but i raise top notch breeding stock cattle and will sacrafice a few invasive birds to continue my lifestyle. jason

dont knock it till ya tried it. good stuff. jason

my wife and i just got finished with our house, started on september 1 and moved in christmas eve, we had a contractor do it, i will second the notion of it being very interesting to watch it come up. ours was about 3500 sq feet with full basement, the builder took care of all of the subcontracting which was nice, took alot of the worry out of it. the basement is unfinished, but that gives me a good excuse to have the fellas over for some beers and free labor. as far as the subdivision deal i dont know, ours is out in the middle of nowhere on our farm. if you can turn some serious coin i say go for it, but might look into cheaper land on the outskirts of town, which will probably increase in value as the urban sprawl goes, who knows when you are old and grey it might make a good supplement to your retirement and turn some more coin. good luck, hope it all turns out well. jason

joe you go ahead and lead, cause im just back here bump drafting in 16th waitin to make my move lol. jason

wow, thats simply amazing ! I have only found 1 shed and 7 pt carcass all spring. great job. jason

mines gonna have to be the little town of matachewan, my crew and i have had alot of good memories in this little mining town, used to have an absolute blast at the bar, the people are friendly the views are great and its in the middle of nowhere. just the way i like it. jason

very nice indeed, i found a five pt the other day but is tiny compared to your 6. the next day i found a carcass of a small 7pt. i guess someone hit him and never recovered it, not much but i was still pumped to find. good job, jason
