  1. I carry zip-ties almost everywhere. It was about a 3/4 mile walk from the spot to the car; I was glad I had them. So a 31" is ~13lbs. I think I'm going 20lbs (36-37") for my next goal. That and any size on the fly.
  2. Quest completed. It was an incredible morning. The 22-26” bass were hitting damn near every cast. At 5:30, I set a 15 minute timer to make sure I have time to shower before work. Next cast, I was working the spook and thought, that’s way more wake than this lure makes. This guy took it, 31”. Woooo! Not sure what the next quest is.
  3. Ducked out of work a few hours early to catch the falling tide. Stripers to 25”. The keeper quest continues.
  4. Unfortunately, not a keeper... 28” minimum in MA. That one was 22, caught them up to 26. When the herring head back to sea in a week or two, the bigger fish should show. Still this was the second best fishing trip of the weekend. Best trip was a hike to an old mill pond in the middle of a forest. My daughter baited, cast, hooked, landed, and released a bunch of sunfish on her own. Son still prefers to just reel in the fish. Also saw lady slipper orchids on the hike. These would make Georgia O’Keefe blush. Wild blueberries are about a month or two away. Pretty amazing day.
  5. They’re hitting topwaters tonight!!
  6. Indeed it is. Casting 4 oz plugs on a 10 foot surf rod for a couple hours is a hell of a work out.
  7. Hoping the Stripers are hungry this morning.
  8. Dropped to 210 after refeeding post fast. I’m thinking 1 week of fasting per month is a good mix. Still mostly keto and 20/4 intermittent fasting. I don’t count or track carbs anymore when cooking or eating, but it’s pretty easy at this point. Meat and vegetables, staying away from refined seed oils, and lots of sparkling water. Keep it up everyone!
  9. Where on the modern/traditional spectrum would you put Tecovas?
  10. Was browsing the Cavender’s website. They have store brand boots. Some made by “Old Gringo” others made in Nocona. Does anyone have experience with their house brand boots? Prices seem pretty reasonable.
  11. Cuero Ropers in cherry arrived last night. They were previously tried on with scuffed soles, but at $130, I let it slide. Interesting that they go on easier than Tecovas, but once on, have a tighter fit. Overall, Tecovas are a better boot for me.
  12. Completed the fast, but didn’t weigh myself over the weekend. Same plan for this week, fast from Sunday 9:00 pm until Friday 5:00ish pm. Keto over the weekend. Maybe I’ll weigh myself, maybe not. Felt good. Boredom was the worst.
  13. Been fasting since Sunday 9:00pm. Breaking it this afternoon. The hardest part has been the habit/boredom. No numbers, haven’t weighed myself in a while, but have been plateaued in the 215ish area. Gonna weigh myself this Sunday after I’ve eaten over the weekend and probably try it again next week.
  14. Exactly, I think everyone knows what’s going on.
  15. Austin in Cherry as well at 40% off. Don’t have ropers nor anything in that color.
  16. This is a good answer. I prefer the look of round toes, and don’t have anything against square toes. Still, some of the extra wide toe boots look like Kevin Malone wearing tissue boxes.
  17. Order both, try them on, and keep the pair you like best. Both companies include return postage with their packaging.
  18. I have a pair of the suede western heels. I like them at $150, but the price is going up. The Tecovas last fits my feet better.
  19. I have a tarsal boss on my feet. Not painful at all just a decent bump. So they may not be in the cards for me. Maybe a thick stingray wingtip and on a leather vamp.
  20. Anyone here have stingray leather boots? If so, what do you like/dislike about them? Any brands to seek or avoid?
  21. Hmmm, the shoes on your resume are not Goodyear welted. We’re gonna have to pass. Thank you.
