Guarantee you he didn’t check to make sure the boat would come out of gear before he entered the harbor.

The vibrio thing comes up a few times a year because some new case is reported and regards like your wife freak the fuck out. It’s almost always an older, sick person and/or someone with a cut and 99% of the time it’s contacted in the bays, not the surf. Tell her she’s much more likely to get bitten by a shark.

So I asked the Tico mate that works on my boat about this, and he said this was all locals dying and drinking in poor, working class dive bars and that there’s almost no way any tourist would even come across those brands of liquor anyway.
but yeah glad I’m mostly an Imperial guy

The comedy of errors in this is almost unbelievable. How one would even drop keys in the toilet is beyond me......
My mom dropped her phone in the toilet, and then leaned down in the toilet to try to keep talking to the person she was on the phone with.

Also tell that dumbass markstanco why he is at 373 and this is an awesome get.
Are you drunk? At least take this stupid point of yours you’ve posted 10 times to the 2020 thread, and get this shit off his commitment thread.

Okay, gotta ask. I click on this thread daily because I enjoy it. But I cant recall Van Fillinger coming up. Per 247C he is #373 and a 3 star looking at regional schools mainly like Utah, byu, colorado, BSU, etc. A few roll your eyes offers from michigan and tosu.
Can somebody tell me why this guy is a great get? I'm in no way discounting him, he may be great but I am obviously missing something. A team full of #373's in the country equals kansas state.A. You are confused. This is Fillinger’s commitment thread that has only existed a few hours. You’ve been clicking it daily?
B. Related to A, but if you have somehow been clicking this thread daily, it would explain why you don’t recall his name coming up.
C. You meant that you click on the 2020 Recruiting thread daily. Fine.
D. His name has been mentioned on that thread fairly often.
E. Lurk more, post less on the recruiting threads since you clearly have no idea why this was a good take.

Do they still allow smoking where that Lelo’s, when it was the other place I heard they had a good burger but walked in and it was a cloud of smoke.
It’s non-smoking.

Or the boosters who dragged their feet on facilites upgrades or any number of things. I think the choice of phrase is important here because the mindset has far greater implications beyond "we have to offer sophomores because everyone is doing it." It comes across as dogmatic.
It’s not the boosters that dropped the ball on facilities upgrades, it was Deloss followed by Patterson and then Perrin. The athletic department sat back on its fat happy ass and didn’t do shit for over a decade.

He just got to Port A and went to Virginia’s. Should we really trust his food opinion?
@Goo Punch if you need some recs let me know. Best restaurant in town is Liberty Hall. Venetian Hot Plate and Lisabella’s are also very good. For lunch hit Shell’s or Irie’s or Harbor Lights at the Back Porch. The new place on Beach street called Lelo’s has a damn good burger.

I was about 10 miles off the day after those storms last week, in a good sized pad V, and it sucked balls coming in at ~18-20 mph. We were watching for them which is why we stayed close, but by the time lines went up and everything stowed it was rough. The wind gets out front of those storms many times.
Hrmaddie, I noticed he had quite a bit of safety gear. And he was using the foot paddle kayak, which has to help. But had that shark took a nip off him or big hook in hand or whatever 100000000 ways to get hurt out there, he’s in a bind. I’m fishing an offshore tournament next weekend. I’ll give you literally as much kingfish meat as you can handle.
I went through one of those storms about 12 years ago. Here’s a cut and paste from a fishing board I post on. At the time I didn’t mention it because I didn’t want to embarrass the coast guard, but I think I can mention it now. The frogman they dropped out of the helicopter got seasick within about 5 minutes of hitting our deck. Nasty storm.
6/5 offshore Port A storm/rescue - Tina ThreeOur boat was the one that made the Corpus TV news. Here's our story.
We fish on a 33foot Bertram out of PortA a couple of times a week weather permitting . . . . a few posters have started threads below about what happened on Tuesday offshore and all I can add is that no matter what anyone tells you, it was probably worse that you'll ever believe.
We left the dock at 6:30 heading for Southern as we'd had a hot school-size wahoo bite for the last week hitting weed lines 30-45 miles out. Once we got to the buoy we found a 24ish center console tied up to the buoy and after a few trolls around without landing anything other than small bonita, we picked up and headed further offshore. 5 miles or so past Southern we found a decent rip and dropped back some big trolling baits as we continued out offshore . . . a few minutes later we picked up the storm heading our way.
My first thought was I hope the center console punched thru the squall line ok, and that was about all I had time to think as the damned thing was moving so fast it go on top of us 15 minutes later.
2 foot seas changed to 6 foot in minutes and we had water spouts ahead and to both sides. On board we had two licensed 6pack captains and myself - combined we've seen a lot of storms in the gulf and were't expecting anything different. We were wrong.
A few minutes in and seas were up to about 10 foot with 70+ mph winds. We put both captains on the bridge while I stayed on deck to watch things below. After about 20 minutes of pounding into the storm it lightened up briefly, but then it got worse and we were taking waves up over the bridge and I had to duck down below the overhang so as not to get washed overboard. We had water all over the deck but it seemed to be pumping out fine until I realized the water was actually not coming over the bow but thru the cabin. Not good.
I turned around and basically saw something that looked like someone had stuck 2 fire hoses into our v-berth and turned them onto full spray. I yelled at our second captain to come down and ended up having to grab his leg as of course he couldn't hear a freaking thing I was saying. Once he got down we both went up to see why we were taking on so much water and saw that there were docking lights installed in the bow of our hull . . . they had been punched out by the waves and we were basically going to go down bow first. We both grabbed pillows and life jackets to stuff into the holes but we were pounding so hard that we'd get knnocked off, take a face full of water, and then have to crawl back up to the holes. Since we really weren't able to help things I went thru the cabin and back up to the bridge to let the captain know we needed to call in a mayday to the coast guard. The work boat Southern Dancer picked us up and relayed our distress call to the CG and then immediately headed our way. They were an hour out and the CG chopper was flying a search and rescue pattern from a reported flare not too far from us so we informed them of our situation, gave our position and tried to save the boat. Meanwhile, the CG jet Falcon flew to us and circled to keep an eye on us.
We had one guy up in the berth doing his best to keep whatever pressure he could using pillows and such in the holes but it was just too rough to keep from being knocked away. The bilge pumps couldn't keep up with that much water so we started porpoising into the waves. I grabbed all of our EPIRB/rescue/flotation devices and headed on deck one more time. At this point I"d guess we were in 80mph straight line winds with water spouts everywhere and 12-16 foot seas. And oh yeah to top it off we were getting electric shocked by the water because we couldn't get to the switch box to turn off the electronics/lights/generator because the water was moving so fast thru the cabin.
Then it let up. Some. We were able to make a 180 and start to back into the storm and that's what saved everything. We pulled an intake hose off and stuck it into the engine compartment to suck that water out. THe seas kept coming down and we were able to keep backing in a circle until the CG helo got to us. They dropped a swimmer to us, dropped a pump, and stayed with us until we got the bow out of the water. About that point the Southern Dancer boat that relayed our initial call got there so the CG helo pulled off of us and went back for refueling. Awhile later we got both engines fired so we were able to run nose high at @ 13 knots in to PortA accompanied by Southern Dancer for the first 10 miles, and then the CG cutter Amberjack followed us all the way in to home.
Once home we went thru the standard boarding and one of the CG guys mentioned that we might have tried throwing one of our tarps over the bow and let the wave pressure fix it to see if that would have plugged the two holes. In another situation that might have worked, but in those seas any of us that even tried to walk out onto the bow would have been thrown overboard instantly. By the time it calmed enough to even attempt such a thought, we were already backing down.
Anyway, MANY, MANY thanks to our awesome coast guard and the Southern Dancer.-

Yeah it's crazy the quality of fish that he catches, I just wish he would give me some of the meat. He loves it though. I think one time he went 4-6 miles in a friggin kayak, too far for me. He seems to be safe about it, emergency phone, beacon, etc.
Wait, you want to eat kingfish?

I got a 2 for 1 special last night with a bonus. Homeless dude pushing a scooter all over the sidewalk on 2nd Street right by ACL. He was not wearing pants.

You’re going to love Tropic Star. Lodge and food are first class. They run old boats - 31 Bertrams - but that doesn’t matter as you aren’t going far and it is calm there. They get an occasional push of green water that can really hurt the offshore fishing, but as long as you don’t get unlucky with that it’s some of the best tuna fishing anywhere in the world. Legit daily shots at black marlin with some blues and sails mixed in. Also the inshore fishing is excellent for a huge variety of fish.

Awesome. Some friends we have made down in CR take their boat up to Cabo every year to fish the tournaments and to get in on the Mag Bay action. We were supposed to take by buddies boat up there last year to do it but it didn’t work out. Someday.
Here’s a video and write up from one of their trips.

To date, I think the best trip I've done was a 1.5 day trip out of San Diego in the '90's where we got into a WFO albacore tuna bite. I think I landed about 10 25-40 lb albies. A few years ago when the local tuna bite started getting hot, my buddy and I went out on his bitchin' Cabo 48 out of Newport and got 5 yellowfin tuna, all within 20 miles of Newport (I landed 4 of the 5, but who's counting?). BUT, the best trip I'll have ever done is coming up in October, where we are taking his boat down to Cabo on a 10 day trip. Fishing the whole way down and then a couple days down there. Should be the trip of a lifetime.
Please tell me you are fishing a few of those days @ Mag Bay?

While an awesome domestic place to fish, Louisiana in January probably doesn’t fit his warm weather requirement.
-
Yeah I’m an offshore guy and for me that means trolling for marlin and sailfish, with a bycatch of dorado and tuna. Some people, like myself obviously, love it but others can find it a little boring.
Anyway for January and that kind of fishing I’d recommend Costa Rica, Isla Mujeres, and Guatemala. The first 2 will have plenty to do besides fishing, Guatemala not so much. If that kind of fishing interests you let me know and I can give many more details.

Good lord. I mean she has katfid disease confusing the 2 guys, but wasn’t Freeman also one of the top backs in the nation in high school?

I have to laugh when people think the old timers are mean. It usually means they don't have time for idiots. They have to deal with a lot of them, and they have, over the years. Be a respectful customer and you just might be surprised at how nice they are.
It was my first time there like I said and she was a mean old bitch about the bottle. I learned quickly. But yeah maybe I’m just an asshole.

What was the dumpy bar behind The Pit on 5th? Next to O. Henry's historic site. Was it called O Henry's? Lots of politicians and old Austin types. I stopped going there after 1990 or so.
Back 40. I was there a lot 1990-1993ish. Jack Ingram used to sit on a stool there on summer break from SMU and play for tips.

All this talk of old Austin bars, is Cloak Room still open? And thanks for the mention of Dry Creek I thought it was closed by now. My dad started at UT in 61, I started in 89. After my first visit to Dry Creek I told him I liked it but there was a mean old bitch downstairs. He told me she was mean, and old, when he first went there too.

Can we just speak frankly for a minute, because we seem to be dancing around something important.
Is it that you think a photograph of a dead child should never be photographed, no matter how newsworthy?
Or is it instead that you don't want to see a photograph that lays bare the consequences of our country's abhorrent and inhumane treatment of refugees?
I guess I missed it in the article. This family was a refugee from what?

Yeah unless you can direct link me to that, I’m not seeing it.
