Haha the beard is an attempt to cover up some of the ugly. Doesn’t work lolHe should get the wife to shave that beard.
hope u can make it to randys this fall dudeI tried to believe that their was some young man trying to fit in and going to extremes to fit in. I tried some silly things myself to fit in. I didn’t tell any lies but I did try to entertain you fellas buy acting like a stereotypical Cajun. All for fun though I was honest that I don’t speak cajun or have a thick accent. I finally realized y’all didn’t care who I was anyway it’s just a forum with a bunch of people who share similar interest. Some of us have nothing in common, doesn’t bother me any. I think y’all each can be cool in your own way. I’m glad to be here. Hope to get to meet y’all sometime at a gtg.
We catch redfish here but I done like em too much. Other people here think redfish is delicious but I prefer flounder.Seriously...
Mako steaks! A game, fishing for toofy critters from the deep who stop in for a bloody snack when enticed.
Plus the ICW always has a surprise fish in it. Once in a great while we get tropical fish all the way up to Boston harbor on warm eddies off the Gulf Stream. In very warm years we get red fish. The Drum fish is not something I eat but they do get 60+ pounds often. World records are from Great Bay @100+lbs. The blitzing blues are plentiful like the coastal choppers but not my thing over a foot long. Dark and muddy meat to me so I pass on them but for chum. Now the local catfish of three varieties are very tasty. The fresh water pan fish are very good here in late summer just so juicy and fat. One of my favorite relaxing activities was always fishing or snacking between rounds campingthe pootytang trips in or offshore ain't bad either. Fishing or whatever out in front of Atlantic City on a smooth night with long sets in quite common for fearless boaters here. The water is lit bright till about eight miles out. I anchored near six miles most times. Forty five foot depth and fluke anchored in sand on a three hundred line is a perfect night out. Plus your ready early to head offshore to hit the Barnegate Ridge or move toward big wrecks and canyon runs. Or head in for breakfast on one of the islands, gas, ice, yada yada and go.
I’ve eaten a *s-word-ton of croakers…good eats!Seriously...

Nail some boards to it for wind loads.Whats up nub-rubbers?
Still messing with my redneck roof repair. "Temporary" tarp that will hopefully last til we get the house paid off in 2 years.
Then the shop and lean-to will get fixed correctly.
Had the tarp a little too tight. Shrunk, and now I'm loosening it up a bit so maybe it wont rip.

Very good. We catch them any time in the ship channel here.I’ve eaten a *s-word-ton of croakers…good eats!
Our flounder fishery has been chit fir twenty five years. Draggers keep them from ten inches up outside. Recreational fishing is fourteen now or near that. I fished it in the snow up here and down south in Cape May harbor. Very good eats!We catch redfish here but I done like em too much.

It’s mostly during the fall we have a flounder run as they call it all along the Calcasieu River to the gulf in 11’ of water they are one after another. The rest of they year they are hit and miss here and thereOur flounder fishery has been chit fir twenty five years. Draggers keep them from ten inches up outside.

We catch Sole but no size to them here. Pretty flat fish compared to most dinosaurs of the deep.
Musta missed this…what be going on?Got boards all the way around screwed in to keep the wind from getting under it.
Problem with the last one I put up was it shrank and I didnt loosen it. Just ripped at the seams. Plus, it was from Horrible freight.
