They do and you can. We used to go down to a place southeast of Galveston past Bolivar called Rollover Pass when I was a kid. My grandpa was a non-union barber and closed his shop on Wednesdays. We'd go down Tuesday night and fish till dawn. We'd free shrimp and catch gaff-top, trout, croaker, whiting and reds. In my late teens I had a boat and we would fish Galveston and Trinity bay. During my surfing days we would fish Port O Connor, Corpus and the jetties at Port Isabel. IIRC during the spring we'd hit the run of Spanish mackerel or sheephead when they were spawning. Couple times I even put shark bait on the front of my board and paddled way out. Sharkfishermen would pay you a couple dollars to do that. I lived for part one summer on Galveston island painting beach houses in order to make enough to take a surf trip to Mexico. My bud and I would go behind his house and gig flounder in the bay using lanterns at night. We kept crab traps set, or robbed them if necessary for crabs for boiling and stuffing for flounder. Now days I do most of my fishing at HEB, Kroger or Walmart. I can get Salmon fillets and fresh shrimp for $6.50 a lb. Scallops are about $15 per pound. Marinate them a combination of rotel tomatoes,chilis and lime juice, put that in a blender with serrano peppers, fresh cilantro, onions, garlic and a little italian dresssing, some Tony Chacheies for three or four hours, then cook over a hot mesquite fire. Yum. Best GWB Last edited by geedubya; 05/30/13. A Kill Artist. When I draw, I draw blood.

SuperCub Campfire Outfitter Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 11,951 NB / Canada	Originally Posted by geedubya One of the first deer I shot was on December 19th. I remember it because it was two days before my birthday, and it was 91 degrees F. Two weeks ago when I was at my lease, it was 102 in the shade and 113 in the direct sunlight according to my digital thermometer. At those temps, it don't take long for meat to "go green" or spoil if you would. I go in heavy to where I hunt. I always pack two 200 quart ice chests with 140 lbs. of ice in each specifically for meat. I keep an extra chest for temporary holding of ice. When I kill an animal, I to have it skinned and on ice within an hour or so from the time it is killed. Sometimes it my be two hours, but not much longer. I'll prepare a bed of ice, say 4 to six inches. Depending on the size of the critter I either put in the chest whole, quarter it, or bone it out. In any case it goes directly on ice. I will keep it on ice with chest tilted so as the ice melts the meat will bleed out and drain. I continually add ice for six days or so to "wet age". Sometimes in the winter it is cold enough to let meat hang for a while. Most times not. It is a way I can let my meat "age" before wrapping it in freezer paper and putting up in the freezer. Thanks for that. Interesting way to age meat. It's not something I've ever heard of up here. Is there any advantage over dry hanging other than you don't need a walk-in? All our moose go into a cooler as the weather in Sept can be warm and by the time deer season starts 1/2 through Oct, it's cold enough to hang in the garage.

Well, don't know about that, I usually don't tell guys I'm not well acquainted with all that well, they're AWESOME What if I just say he reminds me of the kind of fellow that RW Service (one of my fav's) may have had in mind when he penned the "Men who don't fit in" The Men Who Don't Fit In* Robert W. Service There's a race of men that don't fit in, A race that can't stay still; So they break the hearts of kith and kin, And they roam the world at will. They range the field and they rove the flood, And they climb the mountain's crest; Theirs is the curse of the gypsy blood, And they don't know how to rest. If they just went straight they might go far; They are strong and brave and true; But they're always tired of the things that are, And they want the strange and new. They say: "Could I find my proper groove, What a deep mark I would make!" So they chop and change, and each fresh move Is only a fresh mistake. And each forgets, as he strips and runs With a brilliant, fitful pace, It's the steady, quiet, plodding ones Who win in the lifelong race. And each forgets that his youth has fled, Forgets that his prime is past, Till he stands one day, with a hope that's dead, In the glare of the truth at last. He has failed, he has failed; he has missed his chance; He has just done things by half. Life's been a jolly good joke on him, And now is the time to laugh. Ha, ha! He is one of the Legion Lost; He was never meant to win; He's a rolling stone, and it's bred in the bone; He's a man who won't fit in. or would that be giving too much credit? Best GWB A Kill Artist.

Here's a pix of stuff I use in the preparation of pork "carnitas". I'll take and cut up pork and put in the crock pot, season and cook for about 8 hours. Wrap it in corn tortillas or put it on an onion roll. Good enough to make you want to slap yo' daddy down. make a bed of onions add the pork, cilantro, peppers and seasonings and slow cook for 8 to 10 hours. We put Tonys' on or in just about everything.

I mean, when a guy spends as much time as he does, jerking off, kissing his own ass, and filling his bottomless ego up with " ain't I wonderful!!!" BS, what ya got is the biggest septic tank known to man.. all in some guy 3 feet 22 inches high. How mind boggling is that? All wrapped around an IQ of 2 1/2? Speaking of Jerry Lewis Telethons, isn't it funny that Jerry Lewis was doing charity work like that to make life better for retards like him? Ironic ain't it? I'm going to consult with my son, and let him know that Schmuck and some guy over in Lewiston didn't approve of what he wanted to do on his birthday with his folks, nor his choice of where he wanted to eat at.....I am sure he will be highly concerned....at least once he stops laughing..... Schmuck and His VP didn't criticize going to pay respects to the decease veterans at the local National Cemetery over in Central Point... must have not got around to it... tough to work when Schmuck has ADD.... ( Always a Dumbasss Disorder).. along with having an attention span of a nat's asss.. but what the hey, as the legendary Forrest Gump said after meeting Schmuck... "Stupid is as Stupid does..." Did finally figure 0ut why Slavely loves Schtick so much... seems he likes to spend a lot of time in pursuit of Turkeys, so that would explain his fascination with Schmuck... Well have a Great Day down there in Texas, and remember no matter how hot it may get down Houston way, it can never get as 'hot' as Schmuck thinks he is....and for Cub, no matter how 'cool' it gets in Canada, it never is as "cool" as Slavely thinks he and Schmuck are... We " Do Nothing Gang" guys are so lucky to be able to sit on the couch and let Schmuck "do it all for us", and then donate his one post a day limit, telling us all about it.. complete with pictures, he claims to have taken in the last 24 hours, even tho we've seen half of them, 10 times before.....along with me being amazed where he can take pics of forest and then tundra, all in the last 24 hours... must be Superman, just flying all over the great white north... As Cub Says, he truly is AWESUM, and we are so lucky to have his attentions trying so hard to impress us daily.... I know like ME you stand in Total AWE!!!! Whatta Guy!!!

So hope all is well over at the Truck Stop.. and look forward to some more "you and Turkey pics",, birds of a feather thing I gather.....of course I also think of you when I hear the old adage " its hard to soar with Eagles, when ya work with Turkeys".... I'll let ya go, I have some serious couch sittin' and 'do nothin' to accomplish today... plus I have to remember to go over to Applebee's ( which Schmuck can't spell right.. big surprise) and try to sneak up on a menu, and take a few 'in the wild' pics for him, so he can slobber over, while he gets plastered again tonight, while crafting his one a day quota'ed post for tomorrow.... have a great day there Slavey... your pal, Seabiscuit...
