2019 Fishing - Bent rods and tight lines
I have underwater green lights on my dock. One overhead and one underwater. In less than 18 months the underwater one has gone out twice. It has been fixed, but not sure what was wrong, as it was warranty. But I understand this is pretty common.

Isbell was a guest on JT Van Zandt’s Drifting podcast back in May. I started listening today. Pretty good so far.

Turnpike Troubadours appreciation thread
I really hope he gets back to making music. But am glad Felker is in a better place. Towards the end those shows were just sad.

"State snapper" How much beer or weed did they take to trade with the shrimpers?

Buddy of mine is thinking of moving his boat to the states because he can’t get down there.

The Boat Fanatic Thread
Rigging is done by the dealer, generally. I bought my Majek from Kresta's and have been happy with the rigging. When I talk about finish work, I'm speaking of the hull itself. Haynies just seem sloppy to me. A friend of mine bought one in the past 18 months. We went on a quick drift fishing trip and I noticed the drain holes from his front hatches to the deck (1) did not have brass through fittings and (2) were not fiberglassed or gel coated. It was just bare marine plywood. That is ridiculous for a $70k boat. I don't know what JH has done, but they've really stepped up the finish work and rigging on their boats. If I ever move on from an Xtreme, a JH will be in top contention.

I thought the same thing.

The Boat Fanatic Thread
I would get a JH B series before I got a Mowdy. I have a 22’ Xtreme and love it. But I use it primarily for wade fishing. 60% of the time or more I fish alone. The 22’ is not what I would consider a great family boat. Cannot speak to the 25’. If I primarily fished Baffin I would have an Xtreme, JH B series, or a 23’ Magnum. My big problem with Haynie is the finish work is meh. JH or Mowdy will be tippy for drift fishing. May want to consider a Shallow Sport Mod V or Pathfinder.

That’s not the light bar, it’s the anchor/all-around light. There is a story floating around that the light bar went out on the run to Sanctuary from POC.

Collision was with the east bulkhead. Story is they were going to fish lights in Sanctuary. Light bar allegedly went out on the way there.

What kind of bay fishing do you want to do? Wade or drift? Bait or lures?

Galveston
Agreed. Galveston has been packed this summer.

Sandbar at West End Marina (Sea Isle) is open and so is Nate's in Jamaica Beach. I think Waterman's in Pirates is open, but would not go based on recent reviews I've heard.

Big Green Egg & Other Ceramic Grills All Encompassing Thread
Here's some pics of a brisket I did a couple of weeks ago. I soaked some post oak chunks in water for 24-30 hours and that really helped with the smoke flavor. Brisket was probably about 12.5# after trimming. Cook time was 9 hours at 260*. It was sitting on the counter sliced for a while before I took that pic.

Your go to DQ Blizzard
Not Houston, but there is one in Stafford on 90 between 610 and 59. There is also one in Sugar Land on 90 just west of Hwy. 6.

If you're staying at Pointe West, it's going to be a lot closer to go to Freeport or Surfside.

Can’t rent the spoil island cabins; only the floaters.

How Much do you pay for health care coverage
Interesting. I just don't consider that to be high deductible.

How Much do you pay for health care coverage
I pay $50 twice a month for Cigna PPO. Deductible and out-of-pocket are $3,000/$6,000. Employer contribution is about $580 per month. Our firm health insurance is about $42,000/month.
