Don't have a clue, but the two lakes I fish in North Louisiana, the bull bream get smaller and smaller. (Lafourche Lake and Woolen Lake around Beouf WMA)


Could be a few reasons.
1) Overpopulation.
2) Conversely, too much pressure and keeping too many before they have a chance to get bigger.
3) Depends on the lake and where you’re fishing. When I occasionally bream fished I always looked for beds and “smelled out” areas they were bedding. Everyone I know did the same thing. Then using side scan sonar at Santee Cooper showed tons of bream beds out deeper, out to 10’-12’ deep.

Nobody's telling anyone in this country to turn off the AC. Is 78° thermostat setting really that big a sacrifice in this heat? Heck, I got mine sitting on 86°! Before you go *gasp*, that's still about 2 degrees cooler than the highest allowed temp in prisons everywhere in the the Lone Star State, with its famously hot summers


Good for you, virtue signaling that you’re choosing to sit in temps just below what prisoners sit in.

That’s the great thing about America, you have choices. My wife (no pics) keeps setting the damn thermostat at 67 because of menopause.

They think that the reason they can't get ahead is because of "rich" people.


Same loons going gaga over the Taylor/Travis nuptials are the ones wanting to eat the rich.
Security and traffic control will cost NYC a pretty penny for them to be happily linked in matrimony, when truthfully they should’ve just saved money and got hitched on a beach at sunset.
They died in February, and they’re burying them in July?
Guess that’s why we never had “power plant day”, they needed to keep the electricity going to keep whatever was left of him and his family on ice.

Slight hijack - I wonder how much it cost to have those signs printed They could have printed “escalator closed” on white copy paper & it would have served the same purpose


What’s goofier, is if you shut down an escalator, it becomes stairs.
So they barricade the shut down escalator to keep you from using it as stairs, then tell you to use the elevator.

Ainge was good. Ainge was important. But Ainge was no Parish.


I never said he was.

You’re saying a starting player wasn’t prominent?

Ok.

‘Ole Skeletor, the pride of LSU.

It’s notable that an overwhelming majority of democrats/liberals are unhappy with the US as a whole, even though they’ve created many of the issues.

On the flip side, videos of foreigners visiting for the World Cup show overwhelming joy and love for what they see/experience here (things that many miserable people take for granted).

The contrast is striking.
Stephen A. is a blowhard whose trademark is raising his voice to make a point, as if he’s on the playground wanting “respeck”.
I never listen to him because I get tired of his schtick.
But since he’s yammering about having three white guys on the team, the Celtics with Bird, Ainge, and McHale were pretty good.
Why’s he judging people by skin color? Didn’t MLK preach that we shouldn’t do that?

A lot of the UAE's pipeline infrastructure traverses a large mountain range which makes targeting it by the IRGC difficult. Anything not going through that mountain range I assume will be hardened against at least drone attacks.


How do you “harden against at least drone attacks”?
It’s a serious question, I have no idea.

Miles of pipeline, all you have to do is send a drone swarm and get one direct hit, the pipeline is closed.

Iran just hit an area in Iraq with drones, seems pretty clear that no one has been able to stop them. And that’s not including ballistic missile launches.

The house has been in your family almost 40 years? Is this the house you grew up in? Is it in her name or yours?

Do you think 24 Delta Force solders could have saved the Alamo? Davy Crockett gets night goggles and 50 cals are on the ramparts. Enough to turn the tide? Enough to drive back the illegals?


How many troops were storming the Alamo? I’m not googling it, but I’d assume it was a sizable number.

Delta Force guys still bleed, and still die. Delta and Rangers caught hell in Somalia.

High tech weaponry would give them an edge, but you’re talking 24 guys against how many?

Rand Paul will be having a committee to see if a criminal referral is warranted. At least he is on it, full credit to Rand... but then another committee will form..


Great.

Another committee.

They’ll go to lunch, write some sternly worded letters, and talk tough in front of a camera while wagging a finger.

And nothing will be done.

The magical thinking of right wingers. Just use the word “autopen” and you have unlimited power that is not shared with any previous administration. Republicanism is psychosis.


Previous Presidents have certainly utilized autopens to sign basic correspondence. Many had secretaries sign letters for them.
No big deal.
But you’re so ideologically locked in you think it’s perfectly fine to have “someone” use an autopen to sign Presidential pardons.
For a zoned out President who has no idea where he is or has any concept of what’s going on around him.
“Psychosis” doesn’t fit you, stupidity does

What’s a “hammock”?
Ham hock?
If you don’t like onion/bell peppers how about garlic?
Plenty of seasonings you can use, I’d use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and smoked paprika. Some cayenne if you want heat

Two kids, if you want casual seafood on paper plates with a great waterfront view go to Bowens Island, out towards Folly Beach.
