  1. Good to know maybe things are getting back to more normal. Haven’t been there in months so I guess it’s time for a few margaritas and fajitas.
  2. Last night? Weekdays aren’t an issue in the off-season except maybe fajita night or at Venetian.
  3. You sound poor.
  4. Luna’s like dude, how fucking far out of town are we?
  5. Unfortunately I have to go a family wedding after this so I really can’t drink during the game. I’m assuming the tab will still be open when I get back downtown at 10
  6. Take it that means they are opening at 10:30? I’ll be there before that. Where do y’all assholes want to sit? I was there a few weeks go but really didn’t pay attention to the tv layout. Seems like they had good ones out back on the patio?
  7. I had that exact combo about 2 weeks ago. Zero side effects but I didn’t feel bad after my 3rd shot either. The only one that was bad for me was shot #2.
  8. Easily. Despite some comments made on that thread nobody is watching that fish once it’s iced down and in the cockpit. Someone might check on it once an hour.
  9. The boats are insured. You can’t get in a slip in a marina without it. Some will require you to attempt to move the boat out of the way of a named storm.
  10. I’ve seen your bar tabs. That’s not gonna cover it.
  11. Small world. I assume you are talking about Wayne Sr. I don’t see them much anymore since we moved our boat to CR but Marlin Magic used to be in the slip next to me when we had the boat here in the city marina. A few years after that incident most of their crew was fishing with me on my boat in POCO. It got cancelled due to weather so Wayne Jr, Jordan, and a few of my guys jumped on a plane and flew to CR to fish the FADs . I think we caught 9 blues on a day trip the first day. If POCO hadn’t been cancelled and I had not been on that trip I’m not sure I would have moved my boat. Funny how things work. And we never did get our entry fee back. That was the beginning of the end for POCO a lot of people were really pissed off.
  12. Oh, and the Freeman shit was a mate pumping like 3 gallons of water into the marlin whiie they were running into the scales. There’s a LONG thread about it on thehulltruth
  13. I’ll head up there after lunch and save us a table. I’m pretty sure I can make it till Thursday night. Bring food though. We almost got an OU sucks chant going there last night. I did manage to get a strong Hook ‘em out of the guitar player.
  14. That ‘12 POCO thing was pretty good friends of mine out of Port A. They were fishing a center console and landed what would have been the winning fish so worth well over 500,000. Details are a little hazy but I think it was the only kill fish that year. Anyway, they got the marlin to the boat and stuck it with the flying gaff. Fish went nuts, pulled the gaff out and the leader also broke or maybe the hook just pulled. Fish is gone. Minutes later while they go back to fishing and are crying about it the fish pops back up near the boat so they drive over to it and bring it in the boat. I can’t recall if they self-reported or if another boat saw it happen and turned them in. Per IGFA rules that would have been a catch if they were just trying to release it since they had the leader but since they were trying to boat it it’s a DQ for losing control of the fish.
  15. Back on track. @immamac I can get there when they open but unfortunately can’t drink much after that although I would love to. Hate family weddings. I’ll steal a table or 2 if they won’t let you.
  16. Might do it again.
  17. Sorry bad night. Done with pretty much everything here.
  18. Because you have no clue what you are talking about. See you at Lavaca 🤘
  19. From Port A? mostly because I know these people. And I’m going the wrong direction next weekend.. Any other question?
  20. @ztejas @BornAndRaised @MissingInActionWe could get you an Uber back and forth from Port A
  21. I’d be in for Lavaca Street.
  22. Can’t speak to freshwater tournaments but saltwater is a bunch of rich guys basically gambling. Say you’ve got 100 boats in a tournament. Maybe 20 have a decent shot of winning. The other 80 are just taking their shot at getting lucky. I don’t know that I would call it weird and it’s not a culture because it attracts all types. It’s definitely still for enjoyment and the outdoors. It’s not relaxing at all. It’s not for everyone for sure.
  23. Hey, he’s got air but flush and straight draw. Call with your J high. While behind.
  24. Good luck. I hate to say it but it doesn’t get any easier for a long time. Even once you get water and power back you are still going to have to deal with housing issues for your staff much less those in your portfolio. And then the contractors come in and a lot are shitty but you still have to find a place to put those people too to help fix everything. It’s a mess that takes well over a year to get better and really more like 2 years to be 90% back to normal. if it’s anything like Port A you will see some wild property value fluctuations over the next 2 years and some opportunities. We of course had Covid thrown on top of the tail end of our recovery, but a bunch of people made a lot of money on the disaster.
