  1. Finally said fuck the wind and gave it a shot this evening. Looks like this girl was a slash and burn victim. The bite wasn’t normal and neither was the fight. Hopefully she’ll still be okay after the grill. Are you midcoasters dealing with these insane low tides? Its like its post front February here in Galveston.
  2. I saw that post as well but didn’t understand why. Everything looked normal so I’m guessing the drawbridge portion is/was disabled so anything bigger than normal size rec/fishing boats would not be able to go under. The higher clearance on each side were passable as always.
  3. Hit the jetties as well yeaterday. Had a couple of youngins with us who more interested in swimming and trying to pet the dolphins instead of fishing but they didn’t want to swim for some reason after my son took 45 minutes to get this to the surface.
  4. Prolly not since 1994 or 1995. Remember getting a watch for college graduation but rarely wearing it. Once in the workforce it was pretty useless. Before cell phones you had an alarm clock bedside, clock in the car staring you in the face on the drive to work, computer clock staring you in the face all day at work, multiple house clocks when you were back at home. Its like you couldn’t get away from the time if you tried. And now with cellphones why bother. I get it as an accessory but I was never really into that.
  5. Yes, lot of unique stuff on the menu for sure. The Jalepeno Patties have been our favorite there.
  6. Have him make a note if they need a quick cheap sandwich at Omalley’s Pub 3 blocks up on Post Office. Should remind him of home and they make a kick ass Reuben. A definite mom and pop place is Sonny’s Place. Feels like you are walking into 1970 when you walk in but you are usually greeted by Sonny himself who has been there for 70+ years I think. He’s close to 90 now I believe. Dont be in a rush because nobody moves quick in there but they have some good quality homestyle food. Grilled muffuletta is the specialty. Its not in the Strand area but just a couple minute drive up 19th street across Broadway.
  7. What was yesterday’s word? I started but forgot to back and finish.
  8. The guy or guys from Spacecity weather have started this site. First year but it should be a great source. https://theeyewall.com
  9. Very brisk SW wind to 20 in West Gal Bay. Water was ugly but mullet were in and pretty active. 5 reds between 4 of us. All on live skrimps.
  10. Did Oracle really move "corporate" to Austin? That may be old news but I must have missed it. I work with Netsuite a bunch and knew that a lot of their resources are now in Austin but I didn't know they pulled a Tesla.
  11. Chamber of Commerce holiday weekend. Surf has been green to beach for a full week now. Its these type of days that it makes it worth wild (minus the god awful crowds).
  12. Couple of big girls without leaving the house for my son.
  13. Drives me insane. I cant wait until some massive satellite outage and no one leaves their house because they wont know how to get anywhere.
  14. Man I look for them every time I walk around the hood but I still haven’t seen any.
  15. Do you do any snake wrangling down there? I was just thinking about you on my way back down the Intercoastal on Friday. I’m guessing the spoil islands all along the Intercoastal are loaded with rattle bugs. I think you are in the Houston area right? I could take you out there by boat sometime if you would be interested. I’m a novice but I would love to go find a few.
  16. Me and a buddy waded West Bay yesterday about 2-4 trying to hit the solunar feeding period/pre-front daily double. Not as much action as we were expecting. Two other rat reds and a 19” thrown back. Beautiful afternoon in the shallows though. Took me almost 20 minutes to get that red in hand. Hooked on the outer part of the lip so nothing in the mouth/throat to stress her out I guess.
  17. Quick midday limit. Got to sleep in until 9 and still back at the dock before 1.
  18. Saturday evening wade. ‘Twas nice. The red is on the grill as we speak (type).
  19. Its the getting out part that cleanses the soul but you already knew that. I count my blessings that I don’t have to make drives like that anymore when the itch needs to be scratched.
  20. April weather in February. Loving it. Only two bites in an hour and a half but both quality.
  21. Finally nailed this pig who has been evading me for the past week. She and a few friends have been showing up right after dark in the green lights but haven’t been real agressive. Musta been a little hungrier tonight. Looks to be between 27” and 28”. Soon to be grilled 😋.
  22. A little running of the bulls action yesterday afternoon for my son.
