good lord stop with the tribalism crap. Each district has an entire team that oversees giving away tens of millions of dollars a year. They go out of their way to avoid anything political. I used to date a chick that was on the team for central texas.

Literally one person didn't do their homework on one event.

I'm not sure anyone actually said this at the time. People were not addicted to those things in huge numbers within 10 years of their release.

I'm looking at a 2007 blackjack 224 with a 2019 Suzuki 200 for 29k. Seems like a good deal, but don't aluminum fuel tanks need to be replaced at some point? Just trying to factor that in.

I figured it out! Lol

I have plenty of experience fishing, but I'm always on someone else's boat. Pulled trailers maybe 40 times, but never a boat.

The whole appeal of the aluminum boat is that you don't have to worry about beating it up? Aren't they more likely to sink or do they put foam in those as well? Putting kids on a boat that doesn't float when swamped makes me a bit nervous. If I beat up a glass boat it's not the end of the world financially. I was more looking to keep the budget low just so I can learn on a cheaper boat.

Looking for something I can take the kids fishing in both salt and freshwater. Mainly bay fishing, with maybe 30% freshwater. Would be fishing Matagorda/Baffin Bay mostly, but it would be cool to take if offshore once or twice a year if I can get lucky with the weather (once I learn what the hell I'm doing).

I've narrowed it down to three options:

a) start small, with a used 13 - 16 ft skiff. Easier and more forgiving to learn on. $8-15k.

b) start really small, with a sea eagle Fish Skiff 16. This seems like the most responsible choice, but my only concern with this is that my back wouldn't fare well sitting for that long. $4k with outboard.

c) something bigger. Still used, but 18-21ft. Something i'd be less likely to quickly grow out of. $12-22K.


Downside of a boat you can take offshore is of course it won't draft as shallow. I want to be able to fit 4 people in it to take the kids fishing, at most 5, but most of the time only 2 or 3 people would be fishing. As far as prices, I feel like I can find a decent boat for less than $25k if I'm patient. Boat will only get used maybe 18 times a year, so I don't need anything premium.

What are yall's thoughts?

How do I kill it

I appreciate that ole baw didn't even consider using his pistol. Handle an argument like a man. People are too delicate these days.

Did you do that with cheese cloth or a paint strainer or something? I tried it with a paint strainer bag for a week and all I ended up with was a smelly soggy bag of ungerminated seed
