  1. Our zone D is fucking atrocious, especially in the 2nd half. Both Sark and PK need to revisit how they coach in the 2nd half.
  2. Reds and trout seemed feeding on tiny shrimp. Tiny shrimp were jumping out of the water. We had to downsize the lures to get bites.
  3. Thanks for the tips. I decided on Barroom. Fished it hard from sunrise until we got chased off the water @ 2pm. Between me and a buddy, we caught 12 undersized reds and 4 dink trout. Ironically, the only keeper fish caught was a 19" flounder. No keeping allowed until mid Dec. I was glad to release it back into the wild. Talked to TPWD people taking fishermen survey at the launch. I've taken many of those surveys but it's been a few years. They stressed that the survey is "voluntary", which was new to me. I guess some people got their feelings hurt when they had to share their undersized catches. Anyway, they said only one fisherman caught a legal red. Guess it was a a tough day on the water.
  4. Who had "Iceland mega volcano erupts causing 4 years of darkness, literally and figuratively", on their World is Ending Bingo Card?
  5. Funny that you suggest that as I've only ever caught reds in high numbers twice on the outside (ESB shoreline) of Lagoon and Shoalwater. It was during a transition from N to S/SE winds after a strong front. Reds were staged at the shoreline waiting for water to rise so that they could go back into the Lagoon and Shoalwater. I see waders all the time wading the shoreline. I just ever see anyone catching. I too have done my fair share of unsuccessfully wading those shorelines.
  6. Problem with Boggy is that it's such a small area to fish. They are there, or they are not. You are kinda screwed if they are not.
  7. I forgot to mention I'll be in my yak. Thinking about heading into Barroom and hitting this spot. I know it holds schools of reds but just a little worried about that paddle in the 15 mph SE wind tomorrow. https://maps.app.goo.gl/NBreaf3XTU61Eepv8 I'm thinking since it's a weekday, the boat and fishing traffic will be light so the reds in Lagoon and Shoalwater won't be so skittish. I just don't know man.
  8. Maybe that's secret code for the new KKClaan
  9. You are in luck. The front is moving through tomorrow which will switch the wind from the north. You too will soon enjoy the flavor.
  10. Think about the cost of commuting to work. 1-2 hours of commute/day, 4-8 hours per week of your life that you'll never get back. Think of all Surly and porn that you'll miss. Plus you'll have to deal with bike lanes. Fucking bike lanes. Waking up an 1.5 - 2 hours earlier. Less sleep, more bitchassedness. Buy more clothes for work. Metrosexual clothes aren't gonna buy themselves. Dry cleaning is expensive, assuming you're not a slob. Just more laundry which is more energy and water usage. You're going to collapse the grid and drain the fucking lakes! Increase car maintenance cost (tires, oil change, consumable shit). Home will be empty allowing thieving assholes to thieve from you. Your dog is gonna shit and piss himself 4 days of every week. All that shit is not worth 15% salary bump. Fuck that.
  11. From twitter, this seems to be the company. https://www.soundrs.net/
  12. The thick black smoke doesn't look toxic at all.
  13. Sunk another boat. They hates them some rudders. https://www.npr.org/2023/11/07/1211269495/orca-boat-yacht-attack-spain-morocco For 45 minutes, the crew of the Grazie Mamma felt like they were under attack from below. A pod of orcas had zeroed in on the yacht's rudder as it made its way through the Strait of Gibraltar last week, and rammed it repeatedly, "causing major damage and leakage," according to the company that operated the boat. Rescuers were able to save the crew and return them safely to port in Tanger-Med on the coast of Morocco. Their vessel, though, sank into the sea. Since 2020, there have been about 500 encounters between orcas and boats, Alfredo López Fernandez, a coauthor of a 2022 study in the journal Marine Mammal Science, told NPR earlier this year. At least three boats have sunk, though there is no record of an orca killing a human in the wild. Scientists have been trying to pinpoint the cause of the behavior. One theory among researchers is they're just playing around. Other researchers say it may be that the whales like the feel of the rudder. "What we think is that they're asking to have the propeller in the face," said Renaud de Stephanis, president and coordinator at CIRCE Conservación Information and Research in Spain, in an interview with NPR last year. When they encounter a sailboat without its engine on, "they get kind of frustrated and that's why they break the rudder," de Stephanis said. Another theory is that the behavior may be some sort of act of revenge due to possibly traumatic, previous encounters with fishing boats. "I definitely think orcas are capable of complex emotions like revenge," Monika Wieland Shields, director of the Orca Behavior Institute previously told NPR. Shields said she does not think "we can completely rule it out," even if she was not entirely convinced herself.
