When I received the Magnetic Gun Caddy in the mail for review I was intrigued and yet mad. I had tried many different ways to do exactly what the magnetic Gun Caddy does for years. I never once tried a magnet. The Magnetic Gun Caddy is a simple and effective tool that will give years of protection to your firearms and fishing poles.

I have gone fishing 4 times so far this spring. I have not caught much yet, but I have had a good time being out wetting a line. The weather is getting better here in Idaho and the fishing is starting to improve. I have also had to pick up a bunch of garbage left behind by some inconsiderate jackass. I am tired of having to pack someone elses garbage home to put in my trash. Why is it so hard for people to just pick up after themselves? I stopped for a short time at Wilson Spring Ponds in Nampa. The ponds are right across the street from the Fish and Game office. There are trash cans and restrooms there and I still had to pick up garbage to put in the trash cans.

Here are a few pictures of an Osprey I took while fishing at Caldwell ponds.

I stopped off at Duff Lane Pond on my way home from work today (April 17, 2009) to do a little fishing. Duff lane pond is one of the network of Family Fishing waters maintained by the Idaho Fish and Game department. Duff Lane Pond is located on Duff Lane about a mile east of Middleton on Highway 44. The pond is full of Bluegill, Large Mouth Bass, and Trout. When I arrived at the pond and walked out on the dock I saw lots of small Bluegill swimming around in the water. As I rigged up my pole I also saw several 6 to 8 inch Bass, and ocasionally a larger Bass would cruise through the area sending the Bluegill scurrying for cover. I tried several different spinner baits and lures but was unsucessfull in catching any of the larger fish. I switched to a small egg hook with a single red Salmon egg on it and did catch a few of the small Bluegill, but even the Bluegill were not biting like I expected. The weather has been fairly cold lately so I suspect that the fish are still coming out of their winter funk. I think the fishing will improve this weekend as the temperatures are forcast in the upper 70’s

I received the Pak-Lite Super emergency flashlight from Outdoor Life when I won their Caption contest. this was one of the prizes I won. This little emergency light is an ingenious design and is a great thing to have in an emergency.

I was looking through the post on the forums over at Talk Hunting and one of the members posted this link to Hunters against PETA I recomend that if you are at all interested in the outdoors you check out both sites.

I can not believe this. I won the latest Outdoor Life caption contest. I have never entered thecaption contest before, and did not enter this one with any intention of winning. I entered my caption because I thought it was funny and it amused me enough to share it with the other readers. I do not yet know what exactly I have won, but when I get it I will post pictures and comments on my prize.
