  1. I usually try to keep work and Surly separate, but I have been working on this for a while and it is finally a done deal. Signed a deal to be a sponsor of CCA Texas with our Seaglass Wine Company. Those of you who are CCA members should see an email blast any day now. Those of you who go to the bigger banquets will probably see our wine served there. The Sav Blanc is always tasty and the Rose just got a 90 pt rating from Wine Enthusiast for back to back years. On separate note - the wind personally has it out for me and continues to kick my ass in 2019. Those very rare days that I am not traveling or have kids events and think I can sneak down for a fishing trip, the wind and fronts seem to be giving me the big middle finger. Went down to POC last week. Weds was a complete bust. Oyster boats were tearing up South Pass. It was windy and sun refused to come out and warm up the water. Only saving grace was that Tuesday night, put the boat in the water at 6:30pm and made a quick run to Bill Day reef area. Nothing was happening,. On way in, right at dark, I saw bunch of birds diving, so we made quick decision to check it out. Sure enough, bunch small trout sitting over this reef. Pretty much every cast was a 13-15 inch fish for 30 min or so. POC crawfish festival is last weekend in April. They do a really nice job at the event.
  2. Step son was recently moved to varsity baseball mid season as a freshman and has been starting in left field. He got a couple of nice base hits Friday night and made a comment at dinner tonight about hoping he gets moved up in the lineup (they had him batting 9th). The wife, who has watched every game he has played since Tball, didn’t understand what he meant. Finally she admits that she thought players batted by their position and that he always was near the top of the lineup on the past because he was always Catcher or Pitcher.
  3. As for the rod in part 2 of your question - I think a 7 ft medium action spinning rod is probably the most versatile rod out there. Maybe check out All Star rods. They are usually pretty affordable and durable. I am guessing $89 or so. I got my wife a 7ft Castaway Taranis for under $100. It held up to me hooking a full grown pelican and reeling him in without breaking. I love my Laguna Liquid rod I got at fishing show. I think it was $129.
  4. Sol - Penn spinning reels are probably the standard for durability and performance. Nothing fancy about them other than they perform day in and day out. You can probably get 2000 size for them. Would be best to have them hold it in the store if possible.
  5. Taking some out of staters for some bbq in Austin soon. I would prefer to try something I haven’t tried before. What’s the situation at Leroy and Lewis? Places to sit and eat? Assuming it is bring your own beer ? How bad is the line on a Friday at LA BBQ? I’ve already done Franklins, Stiles & switch, Valentina’s, Brown, mickelwaith, Freeman’s and Blacks.
  6. I turned it off after the duel. Zzzzz

    Share is best answer.
  8. Just found this thread. Been playing Blackout. Played quads for a while before realizing there was solo matches. Only reason I like solo matches is I didn’t have anyone to squad with and I didn’t have to listen to retard teammates on microphone. Have actually won a couple of times too. If you are still playing Bkackout, add me. PS4: Kmac8111
  9. Buddy just sent me this. He took his boys and his dad fishing with guide. Said they ran down past Baffin. Now I gotta delete his contact from my phone.
  10. Yes. He did a rap that ended with “this is the only time an Aggie will say Roll Tide”
  11. She’s a Longhorn. I’ll be damned.
  12. When the producer hugged him, I told the wife that he was going to call her dad and ask permission to get engaged.
  13. Always enjoyed the series. Would like to do some XXX stuff to Allie. The tall blonde was not hot. Only time she was hot was when Shumer was in the same bar. Hate to see it go but I also hate shows that linger way past it’s time.
  14. I hate myself for knowing who Tia is ....
  15. Whatever the one right next to Ixchel is. I booked it online before I went just because it was the high season.
  16. when the trout start feeding heavily, the oils etc from the baitfish float to the top of the water and the trout will regurgitate some as well. Looks like an oil sheen on top of the water. It starts small, and then the current will start moving it, also making it wider. So if you see some slicks pop up, you can try to go fish back behind the origin (up current) and hope to find some hungry fish. If you are serious about wanting to get better at understanding bayfishing, please go buy the Trout Support videos and watch them often. He has a whole section on slicks. ( I bought the online versions, saved them to my computer and then downloaded them to my ipad as well). A lot of scientific stuff and lots of experienced guide info as well. Every time you watch them, you pick up something. I don't know why, but the trout feed smells like watermelon. You will be cruising along and then bam, you smell it. Sounds odd I know, but once you get a good whiff while cruising around or wading, start looking around upwind. Probably a slick somewhere near. Bunch of stuff on youtube about slicks. Here is one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_40qVYZF2nk
  17. We fished Weds in POC (9 boats). Weather wasn’t as bad as I was prepared for but wind was still pretty high. The only boats that did any good were the ones that went to the jetties. One boat absolutely smashed it with sheepshead etc. My dad and I fished Thurs on our own. All over Pringle. Army Hole. Lighthouse Cove. Outside Bill Day reef. Only had two bites. Both were tiny redfish. We saw a couple of trout slicks at Bill Day and you could just smell the watermelon all over , but never got anything to bite.
  18. Down in POC right now. Fucking miserable. 34 degrees and 20+mph winds. Supposed to fish tomorrow and Thurs.
  19. He is terrible at this. Looks like to me Hannah G isn’t even going to get her shot at date. Bama Hannah will suck at Bachelorette. Pretty much just waiting for BIP at this point. Wish they would have a scorecard graphic about who fucks who on BIP.
  20. Hannah’s family was surprisingly very unattractive. I am thinking he needs to give up on the notion that there has to be an engagement at the end of this and just pick Cassie. And what is the drama about next week? Hannah tried to touch his dick and he goes jumping over a wall?
  21. Holy fuck balls. Caelyn’s sister. WTF. He totally bailed after seeing that family. She reminded me of one of those pigs on Angry Birds. Hannah has this thing in the bag. Fantasy suites should be comical.
