July 4th Hill Country Flooding Tragedy
Ok but after Harvey here in Port Aransas really the only way to contact FEMA was to go get in line for an hour or two at the Community Center. Calling them for an update? Hahaha. This is nothing new.

That child’s mom was widowed a few months ago and her brother died this year also.

And Houston, and San Antonio and . . . I’m pretty sure most every poster here is going to have some kind of connection. I already directly know one of the parents of the missing kids and my mom knows 2. Indirectly know a bunch more.

Texas gulf fishing charter
That would be Josh Garcia. Bay guide. Book him for sure if he’s available and if not he can give you some other suggestions. He’s a Longhorn, funny guy, and one of the best fisherman around. A good private charter for offshore is going to run you upwards of 3500, otherwise you can always book a headboat out of Deep Sea Headquarters or Dolphin Docks but you will have 40+ other people with you.

I’m tempted to cover your expenses just to see where this is going.

We hold over 1500 gallons of diesel and have a water maker that can make about 80 gallons of water an hour so the boat is self sufficient. Depending on what we are doing we can stay offshore for a week or more on our own if we want to but most of our overnight trips are 2-4 nights. When we do overnight trips we spend the night on the boat and either drift or slowly chug to a new spot. it’s too deep to anchor. Either way there is always someone awake on the bridge watching the radar and other electronics/equipment. All that said the vast majority of the time we do day trips leaving at dawn and back to the dock before dark.- Fishing Megathread: Looking For Big Girls Who swallow
Regarding the reel discussion, I can only crank right handed on conventional and left handed on a spinning reel. If I do it any other way I look and feel like a regard.- Fishing Megathread: Looking For Big Girls Who swallow
We are currently about 70 miles offshore of Pavones and 140 from Jaco. In the winter we are fishing much closer in - between 15-50 miles. First stop this morning was a bust so we are moving about 15 miles right now.- Fishing Megathread: Looking For Big Girls Who swallow
Long version. Not sure we will ever top this one. This fish tail walked more than I’ve ever seen.- Fishing Megathread: Looking For Big Girls Who swallow
Just pulled lines in for the day. Ended with 5 blue marlin and 5 sailfish. Raised 5 more blues missed 3 and 2 didn’t bite. Going to move a little further offshore overnight to fish a different set of FADs tomorrow. Short drone clip- vert blue peggy.mov- Fishing Megathread: Looking For Big Girls Who swallow
Just lost a 500+ lb blue. That’s huge for out here. Bite has slowed down some since this morning we are 4/6 on blues and 2/2 on sails. Still waiting on my buddy to download his drone footage but he’s too busy pounding beers.- Fishing Megathread: Looking For Big Girls Who swallow
We just got the best drone footage we’ve ever had. Show off blue. Posting soon. It doesn’t suck being able to do this in one of the top fishing marinas in the world.- Fishing Megathread: Looking For Big Girls Who swallow

We’ve been fishing for 2 hours now 4 blue marlin bites and released 3 and my wife and I caught a double header. Dealing with weather issues (rain) so not sure how much longer we can stay here. No drone shots yet can’t fly in the rain.- Fishing Megathread: Looking For Big Girls Who swallow
Back in CR did a day trip today picked up 6 sailfish and broke off a nice blue on light tackle. We had a drone right on top of it when it broke off otherwise would have gotten a great show. Bonus wahoo and yellowfin tuna. Going to spend the night at Drake Bay and run out deep to the FADs early tomorrow morning to target marlin if the weather cooperates. peggy sail.mov IMG_2569.mov- Texas Basketball Recruiting Notes: It's Miller Time
Seems like we really need a guard.- Any good restaurants in or near Portland, TX?
Ah I forgot about that. Taqueria El Tapatio used to be great especially their breakfast tacos. It’s the only good food I ever found in Portland but I haven’t been in years.- Any good restaurants in or near Portland, TX?
It’s not exactly a foodie scene in Corpus and especially Portland. Downtown Corpus I’d go with Republic of Texas or Water Street Oyster Bar- Port Aransas
That was my post that started all this.- Costa Rica
@immamacmay have a post for this thread. Or maybe it should go in IPIHB.- Port Aransas
Good. La Playa’s Tex Mex fits right in. I do get what you are saying. La Playa to me is sort of the equivalent of Matt’s El Rancho. I really like Matt’s, but I don’t ever order their Tex Mex. And I’d rather have cheese enchilada from Taco Cabana than what they serve at La Playa.- Port Aransas
So you haven’t been in 5 years, and I live in Port A and probably go twice a month when I am in town. I’ll stick with my opinion which is what it is. Compared to what I am used to in San Antonio and Austin that kind of stuff at La Playa is terrible.- Port Aransas
Edible cheese enchiladas, crispy tacos, refried beans?- Port Aransas
La Playa is very good. I just wish they had good basic Tex Mex to go with their fajitas and seafood. - Fishing Megathread: Looking For Big Girls Who swallow
