Saw Willie, Avett Brothers, and Billy Strings on Friday. Was really blown away by Billy Strings; was not expecting the energy he delivered. Might see him at Stubb's in October to get the full experience.

Was in Boston for work this week. My badass gf got me a trip out on the ocean with her upstairs neighbor. Like I’ve said before, she’s new to this sport, but enjoys it. She’s getting pretty good too! We sabiki’ed up some mackerel and drifted them. Caught a bunch of decent Stripers and a couple of decent blues. I’m cooking Striper and Andouille gumbo right now. I swear it tastes better than Buchanan/Freshwater Stripers. We also saw a Mola Mola which I’ve never seen before, but was a cool experience:

REK
Got to see the Thursday show at Floore’s. Was awesome. Also recorded the live streams for the three shows and the fan appreciation show. So those will be fun to relive. My gf is still up in MA, she saw REK when she visited for the rodeo, and we watched and texted during the Sunday night show. She then sent me a bunch of articles she found and read about him. Does anyone know why Bryan Duckworth left the band? And when? It was weird seeing the band without Rich and Duck. Brian Beken was good; I always enjoyed South Austin Jug Band.

San Antonio
I would go to Chris Madrid’s if it was on the route. So local/unpretentious burgers or Mexican/TexMex is what I’m seeking.

Is the El Chap by Redland Road worth hitting instead of Helotes?

San Antonio
Headed to Floore’s for Keen tomorrow night. Where should I eat if I’m gonna be on 1604 between 35 and Helotes?

Bass camp starts tomorrow, but I took the gf out on the Deerfield river with my favorite guide as a pre-camp excursion. We stopped counting after 50 smallies and ended up with 5 bass in the 17”-19” class. (She caught 4 of them). She was awesome fishing flukes, and the smallies took my poppers all afternoon. I even took a blackmail picture of the guide trying out the spinning rod. He caught a bass on his only cast. This last big one came when I had hooked the small bass on a popper and saw the big one chasing it. I barked out orders to cast at my fish and she got the big one to take her fluke. It was a really dramatic take, super close to the raft, and it taped out at 19”. As per usual, saw lots of wildlife, including a bald eagle catching a fish. Finished the day up with a Charley Crockett concert in Holyoke, MA.

Sous Vide Recipes and Shit
Necro-ish bump for particpated threads sake. Got a circulator this week. An Anova clone from monoprice. So far, I've done chicken thighs, a strip, and pork chops. They all were good, but nothing special. Definitely over cooked the latter two, wonder if my circulator runs hot.

I use a small bit of duct or electrical tape generally. I've also used dacron flyline backing when I didn't want to spool up 300yds on a surf reel, but I like the tape on light reels.

I use braid to flouro on my spinning reels. I like it and they don't tangle for me. I think 10 is a good age for braid. My son at 6 spent so much time playing around the house with his spinning reel that I had to refill it about once a month for a while. So, I used 8# trilene big game.

Took a trip to visit the gf back east. I’ve been lamenting my loss of the Merrimack River and hunting smallies. We rented a canoe and floated a 6 mile stretch. A year ago she had never cast a line before; 10 minutes in she landed an 18” smallie. We ended up landing 32 total with 3 in that 18” class. The one I’ve been chasing for the last 3 years took my fly, but threw it on a jump. I was at a bad angle and got a bad hook set. It looked to be 22-23” and had that kind of jump where it can’t really get all the way out of the water. The weather couldn’t have been better. We saw the usual bald eagles and various river mammals. Also had a little shorebird defending its egg by acting injured and trying to lure us away. Going back to Western MA in August for a 3 day fly fishing Bass Camp.
