  1. Took the family down to POC for little spring break action.

     

    Friday- the old man went wading in search of trout. Hit up a couple spots out Matagorda island that had good grass structure. Saw a little bait. No trout. We finally pulled into that front part of Mule Slough and waded that grad line looking for a red. No action. The old man was tired of the soft mud and walked back to boat. I noticed three birds diving across the way and I walked my ass all the way across the shell to other side of the flat there. It was shin deep nasty algae looking grass. Didn’t see much going on but then I walked up on a red cruising around. I walked a little further and started seeing the bait getting popped. Reds were all around crushing glass minnows it looked like. I had a pooping cork and gulp tied on out that was going to work with this shallow grass. Ended up just cutting the popping cork off and throwing the white gulp on a jig head and working it fast to keep it on top over the grass. Sure enough reds were hammering it. Second fish was 24”. I went to string only to realize my Stringer was missing. So I just kept him in the net. He was big and it was shallow, figured he wasn’t going anywhere. Sure enough, as I am fighting the next one, the 24” flopped out of the net and took off. Caught another keeper and walked him all the way to the boat in the net and grabbed stringer and walked back out there and finished off my limit. Josie’s fried and grilled up the fish that night. That grilled fish there is amazing, especially when the fish was swimming a couple hours earlier.

     

    Saturday took family fishing. Ended up back in Mule Slough. Daughter hooked up with a keeper. Wife had some small ones. They got into some hard heads. I ended up walking over to same spot and sure enough redfish were still there. Caught five, two were keepers.

     

     

    With them cancelling all school events for the near future, I can see me self quarantining myself at the coast soon.

  2. PSA Loomis rod sale - after examining EVERY SINGLE ROD AT ACADEMY looking for a medium or medium/light casting rod with full cork handle, I found a Loomis E6X 7' medium/moderate action in the rod rack above the aisles.  Regular $199 but on sale for $95.  I know it's not high end custom but I recently broke a rod and this now joins my backups.
    Who buys Medium Heavy or Heavy rods with those stupid split grip non-cork handles?  Apparently nobody, since that is about 98% of Academy's inventory.
    I really just need to find a good custom rod guy.




    The wife got me a custom rod from a guy her brother uses a lot for rods. I just talked to him and gave him what I was looking for. Not sure of the cost since she was handling it, but I will let you know how I like the rod once he builds it.

  3. The new Las Palapas by my house is all fancy with a full bar area and everything.
    I don’t hate their breakfast tacos but I don’t make any effort to go there either. For the same drive, I can hit up Camillas for a better taco or several local places if I want to drive a little further.

    I do love Taco Palenque for lunch but their breakfast is only average.

    Places that are persona non grata:

    Taco Cabana
    Bill Miller
    Smokey Moe’s
    Los Arcos
    Los Bailito’s
    Mama Margies

  4. I guess Madi hasn't ever watched the Bachelor and has no idea how it works?  Also, she keeps saying that she's "saving herself for marriage".  Why doesn't she just say that she's a virgin?  Maybe she isn't.......



    Just a guess:

    Virgin - haven’t had sex YET. Would if they find the right person though. (Colton)

    Saving Self For Marriage - no chance for sex until wedding night. Peter is.gonna have to go the distance In order to put those ankles behind her ears.



    Peter’s mom saying “bring her home to us” was kinda creepy.

    My assumption is he doesn’t pick Hanna Ann or Victoria and then goes to confess love to Madison.

    How are there no pics of Victoria’s tits out there yet??

  5. He is so bad at this show that he and Hannah B really do deserve each other.

    Chick that I work with is convinced that Hannah B is coming back to be the Bachelorette. Surely they don’t pick anyone from this crop of suck asses. Biggest issue is age. All these 23 yr olds are boring and inexperienced. We need that 27-30 yr old demographic where the desperation crazy comes out.

  6. I only listened to the first part of the show today on way to airport but I felt like it was a beating. His bitching about super bowl halftime two full weeks after it aired was stupid. Robin was a beating. His bitching about Parasite was a beating.


    If he sent Richard to Super Bowl, that is pretty cool. Actually shocks me.


    I don’t mind SNL guests.
