Got a call from my buddy Geoff Austin, He runs the Rudy's redfish pro tournament series and Hook Spit junior angler series plus fishing and duck hunting guide. Leighton has hunted with him and me several times. Two yrs ago the owner of Rudy's BBQ and other restaurants, Creed Ford, bought a several thousand-acre ranch ( Rusty Hook Ranch) in Matagorda county that has access to the salt to fish as well as hunting, Geoff has spent the last two yrs getting it set up to be a first-class fishing, deer/hog hunting, and bird hunting ( ducks, dove, bobwhite quail, sandhill cranes) They set up a big quail raising facility. He got someone local for the tile work in facilities for the hunters, well that guy has been flaky, so he called me today to go up there and knock it out. they got a deadline and already have hunters booked for Sept 1. I'm headed up mon to get started probably a couple of weeks work, well get to hunt hogs and fish while I'm up there and Creed said I was welcome to come hunt whenever I want to. Had one shower job cancel today I was counting on, one door closes a better one opens.

You need to be hunting whales off the Pequod with that look. Nice red heads.

Rudy's was one of my favorite places to eat in San Antonio.
Whenever someone ETS'd or left the mission - was ALWAYS a going away meal at Rudy's.

Cool Roger.Make sure to take the strongest mosquito repellent you can find.Those Matagorda mosquitoes attack with vengeance,they swarm like bees and that's no joke.Also beware of rattle snakes.They have lots of them too.Lots of alligators too.

Good to hear, both for you and Rudy’s.
Love Rudy’s. Been to a couple of them in the San Antonio region, plus have hit the one in ABQ several times. Was standing in a line out the door in ABQ and realized wife and I had gotten between some young airmen in flight overalls. The pilots had scheduled a training flight so they could hit Rudy's in ABQ for lunch. Better use of tax dollars than most of what DC spends it on.
The line moved fast, and that day we found a place to park only half a block away. I took home some Rudy’s Rub and had the kids order more for me on my birthday. Good eats, and good to learn the owner’s leanings.

When my mom died they supplied all the food for the gettogether after the funeral at no cost.

I ate at Rudys last week, and almost went again today, but got wrapped up with things. Love the brisket.
