Best I have of the old 2002 Express X21B



That Weller FP is a good pour. Cheers
They already beat me to the punch but Tides for Fishing and Windfinder.

Wife and daughter in Montana. Daughter being a horse wrangler at a ranch for the summer.
Deheaded 15 lbs of shrimp. Using the heads to make shrimp stock to freeze for soups, gumbos and other dishes.

Sautéed shrimp
Boiled eggs
Salad
Cabernet aged in bourbon barrels

Boykins do all that plus the squirrels and turkey hunt. Not saying they are as good, but they can perform the same tasks. They are good if you want a smaller package.
Boykin onwer here. Great family dog. Small enough to be a couch dog, but big enough to be in the field.

Trained her for duck retreiving. Got her about 1/2 way thru casting when we sold our house and moved into a rent house while building our next house. Never finished her. She is serviceable though. Won't pick up many at a 100 yds, but she will get everything within about 50 yds. Mostly due to me doing a disservice and never continuing the training.

Was there. Guys next to us in SRO where from Omaha. They wanted Arky to win so they could see an extra game. At the bottom of the 8th and 9th, I told em Jay says there is no clock in baseball. They said there was no chance we would win...

Headed up with the family for tonight's game before heading onto Gatlinburg for a wedding. Sitting in left field GA. Screw the rebels, bears, landsharks or whatever they go by these days.
886 was passed to head to house floor. Opposition was just about to speak on 855 when I had to leave 2 hrs in.

but the rulemakers are bought and paid for.


They are and until the recreational fishing community makes it known that this needs to change, they will go where the money is. Losing votes affects their ability to get those campaign donations. It's sad that only a small contingent of that community makes their voices heard.
Full house at NRC. MFC mobilized way more people than the fishing community.
The chairman of both the House NRC and Senate NRC have taken multiple donations. The prevailing thought is that HB 855 isn't getting out of the house committee, but if it does the senate committee will kill it. Landry has threatened legislators over this issue. He won't sign 855 if it reaches his desk. We need a coalition of fisherman and sportsmen to put pressure on him. Not enough opposition at the moment.
22' is the depth at which redfish bycatch is greatly reduced based on the bycatch study.
Was just coming to post this. I plan to attend. Everyone should email if they can. If you have friends who aren't very engaged and will only email once, saving that email for the Senate NRC would be better.

Been a while since our Alma Mater ('96) was decent. Until about 10 years ago, I would play in the engineering program fund raising golf tournament. Don't know how many of those kids ever actually went into STEM. Scholars like these guys sure didn't.

How then can you prove you have a valid stamp if you don't have the physical with you?


You can't. If you decide to buy a digital stamp, you must always have your phone with you. I can't make sure you have enough battery and if you don't have service you have to take a screenshot of it.

Someone else mentioned it in the thread, but you don't receive the hard copy until after the season since you could allow someone else to use the hard copy and you use the digital. The other option is to go to the Post Office and buy the hard copy. I went to four different post offices in Baton Rouge this year the last week of November and couldn't find a single stamp. Had to buy digital. Just got my hard copy in the mail this week also.
