There was a hefty fellow that fell off his boat near cat island one afternoon and walked up on the beach in Gulfport a day or so later. 2006-2007ish. Crazy story if was to be believed. ...

Wife was not impressed when I told her I wanted to name our boat II Salty Knuts. Not in the least. Heard a boat over VHF in Florida named Below Me. Was great listening to them do radio checks with the CG. ...

The trout were smashing top water Saturday until 830 or so. Wouldn’t touch a suspending bait or plastic. One of the best top water bites I’ve seen. Caught them on the grass flats on plastic after that in 4 feet of water. ...

Love cat island. Both of my personal best were there, 6.2 lber in February on the north side one year and a 5.7 in May on the east side in the surf. Love top water on the grass flats this time of year too. We have stuck lots of flounder there too, just a cool place. ...

That’s expensive for a flag made in the USA, baw. And that’s just a standard flag, display flag is even more expensive. ...

re: Replacing rotten posts in overgrown fence line

Posted by BeerThirty on 4/17/24 at 5:13 pm

Are any of the posts concreted in? If you have access to a 3 pt auger you could trying using a smaller auger bit to see if it would eat through the leftover posts. Maybe a 6” bit? Hell if you have it there I would try a 9” that way if it does work your holes would be good to go. ...

I purchased one on a used tundra with 40k miles on it back in 2014. I ended up having to replace 3 out of 4 window motors a few years after that and it paid for itself just with those. I would check the coverage and if it is for issues like that, I would definitely do it. I drive high miles though ...

Funny this thread popped up this week. Cleaning out an old barn and have and old bushhog and finishing mower that I just pulled out. Anyone have any interest in these? Both 4' (I think) and looks to be, from my naked eye, salvageable. Me and time are enemies now so if someone is interested let m...

re: Passing down a gun collection- Now or Then?

Posted by BeerThirty on 3/11/24 at 5:01 pm

I did the exact same thing with my grandpa. A few years before he passed he saw my .17 golden boy and loved it. Next time I went to visit I had a golden boy in 22 for him and he really loved that. And he made sure to tell everyone about it, and that it was going back to me when he passed. I need to ...

re: Would a lever action 22 rifle make a good home defense gun?

Posted by BeerThirty on 2/26/24 at 5:05 pm

Plus buckshot is more likely to pass through walls and still have plenty of energy to do damage on the other side. Not that I disagree with shotguns for home defense, but with others in the house better know what’s behind your target. ...

Mississippi Mud and Dream Room go into a lot of this. Dream Room is after Mike Gillich flipped and gave everything up on the killings. Halat showed up, but sent his assistant in to find them. He was too chickenshit to go check himself. He was a sleazy muther. Corso wasn’t killed for any mob rela...
