I've also heard people say best tasting fish in the gulf which is a bold statement, but I have yet to try.


It would be hard to say it's better than fresh off the boat tuna for me, but it's right up there.

I've never seen one not hit a live croaker.

Make a few passes around the rig before you start throwing out to see if that brings any up. They are very curious fish and as stated before, they like to travel in pairs. There's not much like a double hookup on lemons.

That's for real, not bullshite.

the employer won't pay for it?


Current employer, not a chance.

Future employer, possibly some help, but I doubt they would pay for the whole thing.
I realize it sounds ridiculous that it's already happened once before, so I'll clear something up.

Private work is on the rise and my current employer does not have much work coming in and has already had a string of layoffs. Things are not looking great for job security where I'm at now, so there's a chance that if I stayed where I am that I could get laid off here.

Leaving Current Company for Another

Posted by scb8622 on 7/21/11 at 3:29 pm
Any recommendations on what to say when leaving one company for another?

I'm leaving my current engineering firm that does a lot of public work for one that does more private work (and pays more, but more unstable).

Is it ok to just tell current employer that it's strictly a financial decision (when that's not completely true. I like the work better at future employer)? It would not be hard to leave it at "strictly a financial decision" since I'm getting ready to pay for an MBA.

Is there anything else I should say to them to keep doors open considering there's a decent chance that I could get laid off and come crawling back? I've already left current firm for future firm once, got laid off and had to come back.

Edit: My current employer does not have much work coming in and has already had a string of layoffs. Things are not looking great for job security where I'm at now, so there's a chance that if I stayed where I am that I could get laid off here anyway.

Out of Grand Isle. We were probably pushing about 100 miles out before we got to true blue water. It was blue/green for a while. That was when we started Friday but the blue water was pushing north while we were out there.

Raised 4 Blue Marlin. One didn't get the hook, one broke off, and we released two at the boat. Picked up a few tuna on top of that.

Boutte is quicker than Sunshine. Veterans Memorial is quicker than Boutte.

On 10E, take hwy 61 to 3213, which crosses river and dead ends at 3127. Take a left and that will take you all the way to 310.

It saves you 5-10 min and you stay off the interstate and can avoid a lot of time if there are any wrecks on the bridges.
You can pay the toll online (up to 4 days after you pass). You don't have to stop. geauxpass.com

I didn't have the worst experience with Outer Limit, but I wouldn't care to go out with him again.

If it helps, my wife passed all 4 parts (on the first try) within 4 months of each other last year with Becker. From an outsider, I think it's very much worth it.

New gear (2011 stuff) is coming out now. You can probably find some of the 2010 stuff pretty cheap.

I would definitely look into that first before I got used gear.

I know that City Cycles (off Sherwood) usually carries some good older stuff and lots of online places do, too.
