    Ready to move to Arizona

    I told the wife I just can't take this craphole weather around here anymore. I mean it litterally rains here almost everyday, I'M DONE. Are there any smallmouth lakes in Arizona? There is alot of the type of work that I do there, so I really feel I can find work with my experience.

    Does Meade or Powell have smallmouth, I can't fish for just largeheads I'll go nuts, but hey at least the sun will shine on me for a change.


    I'm just sick of being wet, lol. Of course I'll never get my wife to move, so my pipe dream will be crushed.

    When is the farewell party? (sniff, sniff). You know that being a 'flatlander' in Arizona would be worse than getting your little piggies wet every day. Besides that, the price of living is much higher there. Better brush up on your Spanish because the state is over run with illegal Mexicans and they are causing law enforcement some big headaches.

    Be it ever so humble; there's no place like home.

    Ohh dude you hit it on the head there! I'm a huge fan of Arizona after being there a few times. It does get hot but it's not as sticky humid as it is in the east. If you have allergies it's a pretty good place to be since there are not alot of trees compared to here.

    Alot of mountains as you go north and alot of dust/rocks as you go south.....going back in the Spring!

    Wink Re: Ready to move to Arizona

    I've been twitching to take my metal detectors there ever since I started watching the show "Gold Fever". I've been through there 4 times but never got to do much more than "highway" look. Wouldn't mind visiting regular,but there's No Place Like Home.
    As I type I just watched 3 big fat does and 4 - 3/4 growed yearlings go through behind the house followed by a dozen turkeys.
    I hear tell they have more rattlesnakes than deer in Arizona.

    Yeah man they have alot of Javalenas, Coyotes, Scorpions and spiders! A few Bobcats as well.

    I can't imagine trying to spot a snake in that desert.

    Re: Ready to move to Arizona

    I know I am mostly not liked here, as I like to think logically, but I'll offer what I know.

    While in Pheonix/Scottsdale on business, I got to talking to a couple of guys pulling a Triton. I saw several bass boats that trip. I found out there are several lakes in the mountains that offer bass fishing.

    Hope that helps...

    I hear ya man...this rain started gettin' old for me a couple of months ago...But for me I can't see myself livin' anywhere else but Kentucky...or maybe Tennessee. Born in Kentucky and plan on dyin' here...and ideally when it's all said and done I wouldn't mind being planted in Burkesville along the banks of the Cumberland River, cause that little ol' town sure seems close to heaven to me.

    Man...dude whats up with the guilt trip? I like all the guys and gals on here and I think I speak for most if not all. This place is just opinions and opinions on facts....someone disagrees...who cares? I don't...life is full of difficult things and this place ain't one of them.
    There isn't one person on here who knows everything or isn't full of crap once in awhile.

    Couldn't have said it better myself. I guess we don't think logically either, LOL?

    Since everybody is throwing in their 2 cents then so will I. Ok Mhall I have a great place for you to live where there is tons of sunshine and your front door can open up into the greatest bass fishing ever. Now dont laugh now but I am talking Canada!! Ok I can see your face but south eastern Ontario where I live is amazing for sun and little rain. You have your feast of large and small mouth bass, walleye, muskie, trout etcetc and no releasing until you catch more than you can eat. Since we have global warming up here that sun is hot and the summers are in the 90's and 100's and very little rain. Any small town along the St Lawrence River can be your new home. So there you go and your wife will love it up here.

    You also have some awesome HUGE Whitetail hunting to and I love that as well. The cold would get me though brother, I use to love it, now as I've gotten older I just can't take it anymore, I guess I'm getting to be a Wuss.
