  1. @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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. My fucking stepmother likes her. A lot. Apparently they hit it off when McRaven was around. I don’t like my stepmother.
  6. 1/10th of zero is like a lot, right?
  7. Maybe immamac can just lock him in douchbag central.
  8. Damn. Can’t believe they were able to get off the jetty. Hope everyone was ok.
  9. Dairy King in Taft. If you are driving To Port A from Austin or San Antonio it’s worth a stop.
  10. So just hauled out for the first time since June 2020, and that was for a survey. I’m almost positive the last time we had a bottom job was almost 4 years ago. And well, it shows. Holy crap. @fattyflattie like I said on the fishing thread the cockpit and interior are like new. I knew the bottom was a problem but wasn’t expecting this. After the yard sand blasts it my mate is going to hate me for life.
  11. Man it’s a perfect entry level flybridge for the gulf. That size Viking rides better than most 60 foot boats because of the hull and weight. Trade off is it eats fuel. I just wouldn’t sell it to anyone I know without them understanding it’s going to take 200,000 to make the boat right again.
  12. No not at all it’s just time to sell. Market is good and I’ve had her 10 years. Engine hours are getting up and honestly they need an overhaul if you want to fish it as many hours a year as we do. I just did the “1000 hour service” at about 600. Also needs all new electronics other than the radar. it sucks because the boat itself is in like new condition, and it’s a 2004. Edit- well other than the bottom. I’ll post pics of that in a minute on the boat thread. But the interior and cockpit are perfect.
  13. I’m crying in my beer but we will find something.
  14. Pictures are always hard to judge but that looks like at least 50-55
  15. Wish I could. We are getting no response at all so either it already sold or it’s not really for sale. It’s a 50’ Willis.
  16. Several times a day? You must be new here. for whatever he is I scrolled by a lot of his posts but he never, that I saw, went after anyone. Most of what I saw was injecting politics in DT or wherever in some weird passive aggressive form. And then for whatever reason Lobo was scrubbed but Guest Lobo remains. I mean who could ever connect those dots. It’s funny, and I choose to believe that it’s our resident aggy just fucking with him.
  17. Far as I can tell, and I don’t want to look into it too far, that was a news/op piece that was likely buried somewhere between page 10 and 11. Or it might have been in the comic section. Do they still have that I don’t know? There was also nothing wrong with it. They flung poo at a bunch of reasons why this hasn’t escalated and asking why Russia hasn’t done certain things, like I don’t know, bomb the shit out of every airfield and supply line NATO has. I’m sure one of the things they hit on is right except they ignored the nuclear/chemical/biological option. Nowhere did they argue that Putin IS showing restraint. But hey, good twitter headlines for all and my main takeaway is Putin is a fucking idiot.
  18. Man, you need to take a break. And trust me this is coming from someone who often needs a break from this site or at least hot topics. it’s in the 3rd freaking paragraph - “Part of the reason appears to be sheer incompetence: The opening weeks of the war demonstrated vividly that Russia’s military was far less capable than believed before the invasion.” you are talking tactics, or troops/weapons/vehicles. That’s not what the article is about. Maybe the headline containing restraint bothered you but that was a headline writer and the article never really even addresses it.
  19. Did you read the nyntimes article? That’s a complete distortion of what it was about.
  20. That’s not exactly saying a whole lot. But it’s really really good. Also it’s a cool little place with a good atmosphere and cold drinks.
  21. Thank you for the help. It’s really good and for a place that is “out of town” everyone mentions it. I think it’s 5 miles out from the ferry landing. Really good pasta, too. edit- port a brewing closed. It’s tortugas now which is the same people that own Fins and Daddymacs. Really like Fins these days and Daddy’s gets me through a fix when I’m dying for barbecue but it’s not centex worthy. Most everything we’ve had at Tortugas has been very good too. They also own the pirate ship, and Deep Sea Headqurters for offshore fishing or dolphin watch tours.
  22. Well I tried to answer and I think I understood what he is asking. If you mean the visa part I don’t know. Good to hear. They also could have paid someone to fake a negative test.
  23. Bluewater Cowboy has good sushi and a pretty good regular menu. And another good burger spot is Bernie’s bar and you can enjoy dollar drafts or 2 dollar wells while you wait. Lisabella’s at Cinnamon Shore is pricy but good food. There’s also a pizza/Italian place out there that is really good. Can’t think of the name right now. You’ve got a pretty good list. La Palma, rock n roll sushi, angry marlin, and padre pizzeria are the ones on your list that are not in port a. Edit- Coaches for breakfast or cheesesteak but it is tiny and can have a really long wait. Pretty much everywhere will have a long wait if you are here while it’s busy. Places like Venetian and Lisabella’s you won’t be able to get in without a reservation. Yeah Castaways was there and moved across the street to where Phoenix was. Phoenix is now out at Island Moorings.
  24. I like a bunch of other places in Port A but for sure you are missing Venetian Hot Plate for a nice meal and Fins for casual. Never thought I’d be saying that but their food quality is way better than it used to be. It’s still a little touristy and pricy for what it is - think Virginia’s or Trout Street or Moby Dick’s. All of those places have similar price points. But the food at Fins is better and it’s replaced Kody’s in our rotation. giggity’s and harbor lights are closed for good. And yes Shorty’s is moving November 1st so I don’t know how long they will take to get up and running. Shouldn’t take too long since they are moving the building to its new spot at the corner of Allister and Beach Street.
  25. That depends on what country you get stuck in. Since the testing is required by the U.S. to return I imagine some countries don’t give a shit where you stay after a positive test and then some countries would have a fairly strict quarantine policy.
