Those look fricking delicious. ...

Grilled oysters, shrimp & pineapple. Fried specks and not pictured is the fried shrimp and oysters, because they got swiped as soon as they hit the pan. Also had hush puppies & crab boiled corn/potatoes. All the beer too. [img]https://s7.postimg.cc/6tpxrtogb/183_B17_B3-_D662-4_C22-8_B8_A-_C409267...

I fish the hell out of them here in MS. Catch big trout fishing the edges of the lights in early spring, while they are transitioning out. Reds and smaller trout year round. Gotta be quiet and I like to use light line and a 1/8 oz jig head and clear plastic. Kayak works great to sneak up to them. ...

[quote]but I'm also not going to be someone who wears the same button down 5 times in a 10 day trip, either. I appreciate traveling light, but it's really not THAT much hassle to use a larger carry on or check one bag if you plan ahead.[/quote] Amen. I love this board, but some make it sound like...

You’ll be surprised how many speak English, especially in touristy areas and big cities. It’s always nice to at least attempt a few words in their language though. ...

I need to rig a trolley on my Cuda like I had on my old one. It was simply a nylon cord that was looked through cleats on the front and back, with a stainless ring. No pulleys or anything to cause issues. ...

He didn’t, but he says he never has before. I just wouldn’t recommend spending $100/person, to save a little time on their first trip. Use mobile passport for free coming back in and likely get through faster than the Global Entry line (always faster for me at IAH/EWR at least). ...

What’s the point, if he’s not going to continue traveling much? OP, not sure which carrier you have, but some have cheap international plans you can use for the trip. Otherwise, you can purchase a cheap SIM card over there for an unlocked phone. Or you can just use WIFI, since most places have fr...

Would last a long time in Eastern Europe. Start in Prague and go from there. ...

I use a stake out pole in the marsh and a mushroom anchor in the bay or out front. Found out the hard way that a claw anchor stuck on oysters is sure hard to pull loose from a kayak. The California innovations bag coolers from sams/Walmart are great fish bags and cost like $8. When one gets in ...

Friend just came back and it was $7k for everything, including flights. ...

No, it's this one and there's zero chance that I would stay there. [link=(http://www.thetreme.com/)]TheTreme[/link]...

[quote]If a drum won’t keep you from eating drum, i wouldn’t let a little fungus stop you.[/quote] We have no regs on them in MS. A ~12" drum makes some delicious fish tacos. ...

[quote]wrap them in cheesecloth and cook them in a pot of water with seafood boil[/quote] I filet sheepshead and then do this. Then put that meat on top of a steak. It's like a "crab" topped steak and it's incredible. Anyone that says sheepshead is not good, has clearly never eaten it or did...

Copa is fine and Tocumen is fine for connections....

I just came back from Beijing a week or so ago & go a few times a year for work now. Not sure what part of Bieijing you need to be in, it’s huge. I always stay at the Tylful Hotel, due to convenience, and it’s very nice (pretty cheap though). Go check out the Forbidden City. It’s worth a visi...
