  1. So while we’re here, what about the slant-comp of the AK-47. Did I get that right? Angled for a right handed shooter to keep the barrel on target in full auto? Can of worms 🪱 opened….

    I couldn't find either another Tacoma or a Tundra that had what I wanted on it.  I hadn't really planned to sell the Tacoma - but the dealer principal called and just sort of offered a deal I couldn't refuse.

    I went back into a 4Runner.  I had one that I put over 300K on - and the next owner ran it to over 400K. So, I knew it would do everything I wanted.

    Really my reason for buying the truck was to be able to fit long kayaks in the back without hurting myself trying to get them on top of my car.  I bought a kayak trailer, and honestly, I should have done that years ago.

    Heard that, I had a roof rack on my 2016 Ram with a 6” lift that was hell to get an Ocean Kayak tandem off and on.

    Yeah, they make fine shark bait.  But when we’re throwing hard swim baits in the surf, we catch a lot of them. They’re such fighters that they really wind up wounded a lot. I feel bad putting a fish back that isn’t going to survive.

    A guy I worked with years and years ago down in the Gulf showed me a trick that changed my mind on ladyfish. You just run a fillet knife quickly down the backbone and remove both fillets bones and all - literally two passes less than 10 seconds. Then, you take a spoon and just scrape the meat off and the bones stay behind.  You’re left with a nice white meat about the consistency of canned tuna.

    We either shape it into a sort of croquet shape and sauté it with whatever seasoning we have on hand. Or, we put it on the smoker with the equally plentiful whiting we catch and makes loads of old Florida style smoked fish dip.

    It’s surprising a really clean tasting fish. 

    Hmmm. Catch a lot of them on spoons and bubble or straw rigs all morning on the beach. Never eaten one........This is one of the biggest I’ve ever seen but that’s not me....

    I learned to throw a big net in the intercoastal hunting for shrimp - and it may be that you're just better on what you learn on.  

    I don't know that I've ever heard the phrase "as many gar as I can to fill up the freezer." 😉 

    But that comes from a guy who regularly eats ladyfish - so I'm not opposed to it.

    I'm assuming cleaning a gar is about the same as a ladyfish. Do you scrape the meat  off the bones with a spoon?

    Eating Ladyfish? Really?

    Usually art for me, then shark bait....
