  1. All of what midtown said. Let me know when you get down and we will take you on a booze cruise to watch the sunset offshore of the National park
  2. Hey at least I managed to post the proper video afterwards. Dealing with the marina WiFi is sometimes a pain in the ass.
  3. Don’t know. It works for me. yeah the insurance requirement is gone. You just have to upload a copy of your vaccine card on their health pass website and answer some questions. It generates a QR code you save on your phone and use that when you enter the country. Some stores/restaurants/bars will ask you to show that but we haven’t run into any of that down here on the coast. Maybe it’s a San Jose thing.
  4. Well if I’m going to be completely honest here that was our first marlin of the day and I hooked it on a teaser bite. But the next marlin was a rigger bite and after I hooked it I was holding the rod in one hand and turned around to hand it off to a friend and - oh shit - rod goes flying out of my hand and into the water. I’ve fished all my life and never done that. Our American mate dumps our long rigger bait into freespool for about 15 seconds and then starts slowly reeling in and comes tight. He miraculously snagged the line. Reels a little more and there is our rod and reel. Pick it up and hand it to my friend and the damn fish is still on. Fifteen minutes later we catch the marlin. Fortunately none of this is on video and if anyone ever asks me if it happened I will deny it or at least blame it one someone else.
  5. The view from El Avion in Manuel Antonio still doesn’t suck.
  6. Hurricane Harvey, building a new house, and Covid kept me away from my girl for way too long.Gonna spend a few months down here on it, fish a bunch, and list it for sale for way too high of a price. The market is on fire. If it actually sells I’m going to downsize to a one bedroom 35ish foot boat which is all I need for fishing here. @troph y’all better get down here soon
  7. Internet down here is screwy. Don’t know what happened on the other post but this is Cindy’s marlin. Had to wake her up and get her out of bed to reel in the fish. IMG_0164.MOV
  8. And a nice well behaved sailfish jumping right at the boat IMG_0152.MOV
  9. Cindy’s first ever marlin the other day. Fishing again Tuesday the marlin bite is on fire. IMG_0163.MOV
  10. Go over to Isla Mujeres and fish with Keen M or any American boat there.
  11. 3/7 blue marlin today and 3/5 on sails. 2 of the marlin we lost were really bad luck. And we caught this cute little guy. IMG_0161.MOV
  12. Also I don’t necessarily recommend that hotel but it’s next door to our favorite bar in town.
  13. And we are here. Got in late late last night no problems. Fill out their Health Pass online and they basically wave you thru.
  14. Well it was way too cold so we ended up never leaving the airport. Thanks for all the suggestions. We found this on the walkway from gates 1-5 and sort of hung out there.
  15. Yeah space center could be a real possibility. Haven’t been since the 80’s.
  16. Due to a flight cancellation I’m stuck with a 9 hour layover at Houston Hobby on Thursday. I’m not going to sit in the airport that long. My original thought was I would find an outdoor restaurant/bar patio but now the weather is going to be in the 40’s. So open to suggestions on any restaurant/bar where we can hang out for 5 or 6 hours or any other suggestions for something to do.
  17. You bought and ate a tilapia on purpose? Were you drunk?
  18. Yeah I got confused and thought I was replying on our Texas thread. It’s (Omicron) crashing everything and everyone no matter how many shots they’ve had now as you know. As the Texas thread starter I’m happy to say I don’t give a shit anymore. Won’t be popular with some people but I was that way after my 2nd shot. We aren’t responsible for idiots that won’t get vaccinated. I’m vaxxed, boosted, and living my life.
  19. Is this sarcasm? We aren’t ever doing that.
  20. Another 9 days until I am down, but my captain caught 7 blue marlin and 8 sailfish today. Pretty sure he’s cheating.
  21. Um, there used to be an aggy family in Fulton with a pretty good menu and very good food but they are gone I believe …….. Charlottes hasn’t been good since about 1984.
  22. Walking out of the Rose Bowl they had USC NC 3 peat shirts for sale. A friend of mine and I bought the whole box for like 10 dollars and took them to the team hotel. That was a fun night.
