re: Anyone Use Mercury Vessel View
Posted by BrotherEsau on 6/17/24 at 1:43 pm
I use the mobile version. Well worth it. Motor is a '22 115 pro xs. I like it to track my gas and hours. Easy to install the module. I recommend it. ...

[quote]To me, Father's Day is a time of reflection upon my children. I write both of my kids (son and daughter) a letter telling them how much I love them and how they have impacted my life. I don't expect anything. I DGAF about gifts, I don't care about pomp and circumstance. The day is not about m...

[quote]My kids are still young - 7, 5, and 3. So I figure I have a long time before they're all too big to squeeze into a third row seat in a mid-size SUV. That's at least my line of thinking.[/quote]
Dude, we have 3 kids, 11-18. The midsize will fit the kids, but if you have any shite to carry ...

re: Made a trip to Hopedale long rocks
Posted by BrotherEsau on 5/29/24 at 5:26 pm
I haven’t fished the long rocks past couple years. Started focusing more on Eloi. I found it to be very hit or miss. Had one summer where I killed them almost every time on live croakers, then next summer it was struggle bus every trip. I was burning up too much time going over there. ...
re: Is the Reggio boat launch still closed?
Posted by BrotherEsau on 5/9/24 at 8:57 pm
Came in to say the same. Last I heard it was just the new one across the canal from the old one. It is very steep and I’m told it’s really for kayaks and small flat boats. A dude on Facebook posted a pic of him launching his gheenoe. Looked sketch as frick.
I think it’s Darren Schaff’s place, he...

Everything the first poster said above. Few more tips:
Just before and during sunrise, I walk the beach and fish in the first trough with some success on top water. I like the she dog personally. Once sun is up I move out a bit.
In addition to looking for different areas of water, current li...

re: Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has collapsed - container ship wrecked into it
Posted by BrotherEsau on 3/28/24 at 7:53 am
[quote]Maybe not. The Limitation of Liability Act of 1851 AKA 46 USC § 30501 does limit liability to the value of the ship however things like previous knowledge of a mechanical issue that is a causative factor in the incident will remove that liability shield. There were reports of an interview w...

[quote]I don’t think many people inconvenienced by this will have a legal leg to stand on. I think someone tried a suit for losses when a boat struck the Sunshine Bridge. Accidents like this will fall under maritime law and not civil law. That will restrict anyone wanting to sue to have actual dama...

And many of them will be very disappointed to learn that, under maritime law, if you do not have a proprietary interest in damaged property, you cannot recover purely economic damages. It doesn't matter how lon...
re: Do you believe in ghosts/hauntings?
Posted by BrotherEsau on 3/25/24 at 2:11 pm
I have never been opposed to the notion. I used to see things when I was a kid when I'd wake up, but that's probably just leftovers from dreams.
I have had one experience, I didn't see a ghost, but I felt the presence of death and it scared the ever loving frick out of me. Paralyzed with fear and...

We used to shoot them with a pellet gun. Those frickers are smart and figured us out pretty quick. As soon as our back door opened, they’d scatter. Got to the point we’d have to quietly pump it inside, slip out the front door and sneak around to the back. ...
