He said it was fainter today than it has been. This was his 4th test so hopefully that’s a good sign.

She’s a bitch from hell. Always has been and we’ve never gotten along, had a blowup recently to the point where I will never talk to her again. She accused me and my girlfriend of trying to kill him by taking him fishing. And filming that on a drone. Whatever. She hasn’t even tried to contact me while he’s been here. It’s refreshing. My girlfriend keeps joking that Dad is faking positives just so he doesn’t have to go home.

Dad is still here in Covid jail. This is day 10 and he tested positive again today. I told him to stop testing. He feels fine, hasn’t had a fever in over a week but he is still tired. His wife won’t let him come home without a negative test. WTF?

675 pound bluefin tuna caught by a friend of mine last week out of Port A at the floaters.

Tell him to tie the port side too, that will keep it from hitting the dock. Also I generally like orange and white color schemes, but holy fuck my eyes.

Yup to all the above. My 78 year old vax/boosted dad came to visit Friday. Saturday night he started having bad allergy symptoms which is not unusual for him. Sunday morning he was feeling pretty flu like, but low fever so I went and bought him a test as he was supposed to go home Sunday afternoon. Positive. By Monday morning really his only symptoms were bad fatigue and no appetite. As of today he’s still tired but appetite is mostly back. We’ve kept him quarantined in our downstairs guest suite and have been leaving him food and drinks outside his door. So far we’ve been lucky and I guess if we make it to tomorrow we are in fairly good shape. Fortunately we weren’t around him much indoors. 3 meals together and 2 of them were outside. We watched some sports together for an hour or so in the same room on Saturday afternoon but he was literally across the room. Never entered his room Sunday. Am I still right that 5 days from our last exposure to him is still considered good to go?

Y’all are needed over here -

Josh Garcia https://tejascharters.wixsite.com/tejascharters. Longhorn, great fisherman and fun guy. I’ve sent a bunch of people from here with him and I’ve gotten nothing but good feedback.

I know a bunch of y’all have stayed there already and know what a great property it is, but Tulemar was just ranked #1 hotel in the world again by TripAdvisor. https://ticotimes.net/2022/05/13/costa-rica-is-home-to-the-worlds-best-hotel-according-to-tripadvisor https://www.tripadvisor.com/TravelersChoice-Hotels

It’s so much better than IAH. I just hate that it arrives at night. There have been rumors of a direct flight from Austin for awhile now but Covid seems to have killed that. They also were breaking ground on a hotel there at the marina when we left. We’ll see.

Ha. We averaged just over 200 gallons per day. Gave half the money to my crew so I still made a few bucks. But not enough for the trip - I was there almost 3 months and we fished a lot. I think it was about 25 days of fishing.

You did pretty good. We have company coming in town today and will pretty much hit all the spots you did but add in Venetian for dinner tonight.

Yeah it’s still in CR but just went on the market officially. If it sells quick I might be boatless for a bit. Not a lot on the market right now and it’s all high. Hopefully I can find something after the summer season is over.

Missing 2 Tico mates from our team but this is my main guys that have fished with me forever. Captain, 2 mates, me, and then my girlfriend who sleeps while we fish and dad who wasn’t there.

And mahi

Don’t think I posted this. Last fish of the season. Trolling our way in after quite a few sails. We have maybe 20 minutes left until we have to pick up and run to our slip so in that situation I always throw our marlin pitch bait in the middle of the spread for an extra teaser. about 5 minutes before we head home our right teaser gets crashed and I see it at the same time one of the mates does. It’s obviously a marlin but I go pick up our light tackle pitch forgetting the marlin pitch is already there. After 5 or so seconds of confusion i manage to hand him the 20 and reel the 50 near the teaser and hook up. Beer may have been involved at this point. IMG_0663.MOV

@Sbbruin Edit- shit last year. I’ve been in warm weather so long this year it seems like I’ve already been through a summer.

How was y’all’s marlin season this year? CR was epic because the water stayed cool all winter and spring. We only caught 2 stripes but the blues stayed all season.

Start off fishing and catch a perch. Put the perch on a circle hook with a slip sinker and cast it back out. This works on almost any golf course pond with bass. You’ll catch some large fish.

Yup. I hate their flight schedules for my flight but we’ve started flying them Corpus to Hobby to Costa Rica just so we don’t have to deal with IAH. Even when United is cheaper, and it usually is. The return flight pays for itself since it’s always the only flight trying to go thru customs/immigration. I’m pretty sure it’s never taken us more than 10 minutes to get past security and to our gate for corpus.

My fucking stepmother likes her. A lot. Apparently they hit it off when McRaven was around. I don’t like my stepmother.

1/10th of zero is like a lot, right?

Maybe immamac can just lock him in douchbag central.

Damn. Can’t believe they were able to get off the jetty. Hope everyone was ok.
