  1. Look on Amazon or EBay for a cheap knockoff ladder rack. Might be cheaper than you think and you won’t have to spend time mcgivering a solution with unistrut.
  2. Wasn’t the ixtoc oil spill down in Mexico responsible for a big portion of that early ‘80s beach tar balls that everyone remembers?
  3. This. Kinda surprised something like this hasn't showed up here before.
  4. Perma-shocker
  5. You realize you've been watching too many Ukraine war clips when you see this and wonder how come the drone hasn't dropped a grenade yet.
  6. Scroll down to the first video of one of 10 Tanker’s DC-10s dropping a load of retardant at danger close range. https://www.kbtx.com/2022/08/07/firefighters-battling-large-fire-south-lake-somerville-washington-county/
  7. Got a 100 acre fire 0% contained on the south side of Lake Somerville. We were out on the boat this afternoon in a cove right next to it on the lake when we noticed it kicking off. Already burnt a few houses but it looks like it will eventually burn into the lake.
  8. Lol, I fat fingered that an actually meant a Curado DC. Those are about $250 and I even think there's a new DC model that's closer to $200. Only have experience with the Curado version and you can get just about anyone casting well really quick with it. If you are still thinking spinning reel, change out the mono as a first step,. Make sure to wind on the new mono in the correct direction or it will definitely tangle like crazy. Best way is by removing the spool and using a winder so that it goes on like a conventional reel. If that doesn't work and you want to get him a new reel, I like the Stradic and Spheros in the 2500-4000 sizes.
  9. A Calcutta DC will just about eliminate backlashes, even for a novice. Life is too short to fish with an eggbeater.
  10. That's a whole lot of fuck around and find out at one time.
  11. Maybe not pig blood-soaked but I saw a couple of blurbs that they might have used the ginsu hellfire. It slices, it dices, it juliennes!
  12. Dude needs to take that wadded up mess and throw it in the trash as is and take up golf. The camera is on a selfie stick type think and the software automatically erases the stick as it records.
  13. Nice video. Could have been nicer if they would have actually shown at least one full presentation, hook and land all the way through instead of 5 sec music video style jump cuts.
  14. Hash browns too it seems.
  15. Sweet, some new vertical reefs would be great now that they've removed most of the rigs that used to be offshore Texas.
  16. Simple riff, carries the song all the way through ...
  17. His buddies don’t have a sack if they don’t call him pinky from this day on.
  18. Mrs. Jimmy Houston definitely ain’t no bitch. Took that like a champ.
  19. Is your throat length for that rifle that much longer that the COL?
  20. Yeah a leatherman or a set of klien side cutters would have taken care of that one. +1 on the small bolt cutters for offshore. Seems kinda stupid carrying them but better safe than sorry.
  21. Please also include a printed screen shot of the most current pic in the assssssssssssss thread
  22. You have a big ass truck. Pretty easy throw a couple of kayaks in the back and get in just about any water anywhere. Surprised you haves bought any yet. You can put them in the back of that panther wagon too.
  23. Not gonna lie, would buy a Surly™ Mining Co Tshirt
  24. Anyone else have a love/hate relationship with 3M 5200? Was planning making a trip offshore with my son and his friend for the first time in a long while on Saturday and was doing so minor repairs Friday at the house. I had replaced a wash down hose fitting that was leaking as I was tightening the hose I noticed it was wiggling one off the bilge pump hoses and the end of the fitting. Reached up to touch it and the fitting broke off in my hand. That's not good. Checked the other thruhulls and one of the scuppers broke off too. Dammit, cancel that trip. Kinda pissed the trip was shut down but relieved it didn't happen 15 miles offshore. I was able to get some good stainless scupper replacements off of Amazon and made a trip down to the West Marine store in Kemah to get new hose and clamps. I got the bad fittings replaced and will put in new hose tonight. In case you are wondering, acetone will take black 5200 off of your hands and out of your hair.
