We’re taking the chartered flight from Dallas Love Field. We leave Dallas at 9am and land at Lajitas at 10:30am, no 10 hr drive for us. We’re playing it 3 days in row. High temps 106-108 all 3 days! ?? I’ll report back when I’m back home. ...

Anyone ever played it? Going out there next week with a group and was wondering what to expect? [link=(https://www.lajitasgolfresort.com/golf/)]LINK[/link] ...

Tiger Pointe is good course. Play there 4/5x’s a year. Got a tee time there for Friday May 24th. Also play Perdido Bay a bit. It was struggling after Sally but it’s coming along and they seem to be sinking some money into it lately. But it’s still about an hour from where you’re staying. Craft Farms...

I’ve rented a slip out there for many weekends over the 10 yrs or so I had a place on the island. Never had anything stolen but I never left my poles on the boat overnight. Did leave my landing net many nights and it never disappeared. Only ever locked one compartment and it held my minn kota remo...
[quote]Why not just rent a 3/4-ton or 1-ton when you need to tow it?[/quote] Yeah this was my thought also. The boat will live on a lift in Pensacola all the time. The only exception is that I have to pull it off the lift if a tropical storm/hurricane is within so many miles of the marina. It'll ...
I have a 2022 Chevy Silverado High Country 1/2 ton w/ 6.2L V8 gas engine w/ air bags. The boat I'm looking at is 4900lbs dry w/o engines. Twin 200's at 525 lbs each. Fuel weight would be about 800lbs with a full tank. I'd assume loaded with gear would at up to 1000lbs. Boat/Engines 6000 lbs Fue...

Fiberglass, yes they had some imperfections in the fiberglass. Nothing structural, just sloppy work. I stand on the front deck section when I fish it. Plenty of room for me to cast and fish specs and reds. I moved the trolling motor plug into the anchor well because that wire was running across ...

I own one. It's a 2022 231 Hybrid with the Fiberglass T-Top. Has a 250SHO on it and it performs great with that engine. Not sure I'd get a 200 on one. I had to get some fibeglass work done after delivery but Dear's Fiberglass did a great job. I didn't want it when we bought it because I wanted a ...
Man if u have Facebook keep an eye out on Marketplace. I’ve bought some great stuff at great prices. So many dudes go into wood working during Covid and just never used the stuff enough. Bought a Harvey table saw and it’s been awesome. I bought a 3hp Grizzly dust collector that the guy had assembled...
I own a small business in Louisiana. 24 full time employees and 2-4 part timers depending on the time of the year. I 100% agree that no full time employee should be making less than $15/hr. None of my full time people make less than $20/hr and most everyone is $25/hr +. To be honest it’s killing the...
Really wish them two would stop the pissing match and put the show back like it was. They’re both slapping shows together to get at each other and they’re just wearing out and dividing the vendors and shoppers! The show pre-Covid was legit! ...

If it’s a 2021 thru 2023 do a thorough inspection of the fiberglass. Things got real sloppy up there during and after Covid and they put out a ton of boats with crap fiberglass. Using old molds and labor shortage lead to some crap boats leaving the factory. I have a 2022 231 Hybrid and me and the fi...

Small business owner here also, 24 full time employees. Yesterday Liberty Mutual sent over my 2024 renewal for my business policy and they want $114K in 2024. My policy last year was $60K, same coverage. We’re shopping it of course but my agent says we MAY find it cheaper but to still expect a p...
