JohnR · 07-10-2020, 07:21 AM

Work and hopefully play

So what's up for the weekend?

Rockfish9 · 07-10-2020, 07:45 AM

it's looking like tropical storm Faye will put a damper on running the inlet tomorrow,so, Ill do a little fish tank maintenance, do a little "brewery" maintenance , bottle an oatmeal stout I've got aging, and transfer 2 different brews from fermenters to carboys. and in the afternoon take a trip to Jaspers home brew in Nashua N.H.

Ill run Pots Sunday if the ocean isn't TOO angry..either way I'll grill and chill, drink a home brew ( or 2) and get ready for the week...

Member guest at the Fox so working. Golf rounds are way up this year. Taking wife and dog out on the boat Sunday. Chris what’s your preferred rub and method for the brisket. I got a 7lber From a farm here in Norfolk just need a full day to smoke it. Last one I did I rubbed in a mustard rub then a seasoning over the top 8 hours on low wrapped than an extra 2 hours

I have had it in a bath of beef broth, Nor’easter Beef rub and apricot juice. Now just s&p and soon onto the wsm at 375 til done...

Had one at EagleBrook today.!

Well, TS Faye was a flop locally, as the street is not even totally wet... So some AM watering followed by last small details and touching up bottom paint on the boat. Hopefully get her floating tomorrow early, or Monday depending on tide and my brother's availability to drive trailer home... The 21 month dry dock is coming to an end! With afternoon heat index forecast in the mid 90's, I will gladly write up some invoices from past week, while enjoying the office AC.

Love the brook!! If your in the area Again Parker’s pub the old Doyle’s has wings down to a science. Just grabbed a corned beef to throw in the masterbuilt gravity 560 so I can make Reuben sandwiches for lunches for the week this smoker has been a game changer

Power wash, deck, railings, front of house, garage end, boat and anything else that looks dirty

Prep for fish in between wind....

nightfighter · 07-12-2020, 07:10 AM

Well, another three day delay for launching. Still have electrical gremlins. Batteries weren't holding charge, so replaced them. Put in new fuel gauge, have power, but not working. So must be bad sending unit that I replaced. New one here Tuesday. And two weeks ago I thought I was going to get out of this with only replacing two trailer tires, zincs and water pump.... But she looks good. Going to use some 5200 to fill all the holes left where I removed hardware and cushion snaps. Was considering repairing some bubbling on the engine cover, but going to make that a winter project and repaint as well.

Ross I remember that pain and while there are days I wish I still had one, I don’t miss dealing with the never ending issues.

Seriously don’t miss it because I’d rather be walking a golf course than fishing these days, especially with the decline of the stripers. Now if twenty years ago they not only made them a game fish, but eliminated fishing inside the breeding areas, with trophy fishing abundant; might have rethought getting out of the boating game. Now it’s spring sea bass easily accessed by kayak, tog in the fall, with the occasional boat trip on a friends boat.

Mike, I respect the hell out of you for keeping at it but it's not there for me anymore. 100+ night a year in the surf for 35 years and then another 100+ nights on my boat for 7 years, I'm done. No more big fish and I don't want any part of hurting what's left. As Bob said, I'd rather be walking the golf course.

It’s too bad you never got a passion for any saltwater fishing other than the mighty striped bass Paul. I no longer target the species but certainly enjoy the sport of angling regardless of stripes.

Lb for lb I agree tog are the smallmouth bass of the salt and I love to target them in the fall, in fact I still have a couple vacuum sealer bags from late October.

Chris, I agree! But, it is what it is.
