Re: Nikki Fried Rears it's ugly head !
I think the Supreme Court's decision not to look at the election to see if there was significant fraud lead to half the country feeling frustrated and we see what that frustration resulted in.
It is the duty of our leaders to keep our system clean of fraud and to show us the truth when there are questions. They have failed us here and the people know that if elections can be subverted then the country can also be. Forcing your viewpoint onto people that are already suspicious of you is not the way to run a free country......................

Re: Chain Restaurants
That's how Outback was before it went public. we used to punch our own fries and blanch them. all the dressings made in house, everything done by a prep crew. Now all their stuff comes in boxes, they're no better than Applebees now for food quality and the prices are ridiculous. Once the bean counters got their hands on that place quality went into the toilet.Mango Man said:We've must have had terrible luck at CB because every meal was pretty bad.
After spending decades in the biz I came to the conclusion many years ago that most people don't know what good food is or tastes like. Their expectations are all over the place.
On a different note. Quite a few chains started out as privately owned places. Some were fantastic, too. When you'd hear statements like "maximize profits and cut cost/waste", whatever quality standards in the products just went out the door for cheap sub par food substitutions. If you think about it, which I think many don't, just what are you eating in that $1.00 cheeseburger!

Went out for a quick evening trip. Arrived at one of our spots at 6:00PM had our limit by 7:30 great day. the Ball of Tails kept rising up behind the boat must of bin a thousand fish in the school. The sharks took a few but they where not as aggressive as usual had the first 15 fish in the boat in 30 minutes the last five took a little longer. No giants but all nice fish.

Re: Nikki Fried Rears it's ugly head !
That their CC licenses are suspended or revoked isn’t an issue. Its simply trashy for her to be issuing press releases about it when the Department of Agg otherwise doesn’t make grand announcements when someone has this happen to them. She’s obviously grand standing.

Horseshoe Saturday July 10th
I drove over to horseshoe Saturday for a snapper/ grouper run. We arrived around 7am and used the ramp on Main Street. For once We weather was as forecasted. Going out we ran around 30-35. We had 2 bay boats that ran just off from us and they were running a little slower. Our first spot was at 60’ there were already 2 boats at this ridge but there was plenty of room for us all. As soon as we got on our # one of the boats moved off. The bottom was lit up solid with bait with larger fish around the bait. Nothing would bite, we tried frozen bait, pin fish, squid, shrimp. All we got was a few nibbles. We moved a few hundred feet to a rock on the top of the ridge, It had the perfect snapper wave coming off of it as soon as I dropped I got hit on the way down, it felt like a good snapper pulling hard, then something big grabbed it and broke me off. My wife did catch one grunt on squid. We spent about an hour in that area with not much else happening. We moved to another spot in 80’ the bottom machine was again lit up with fish everywhere, on the first drop my wife caught a good trigger fish and I pulled up a 18” red grouper. On the second drop I hooked a 24”snapper and got him to the boat. For the next hour or so we moved around the area the bite was very sporadic, we would go 20 min with nothing then we would have multiple hook up but very seldom could we get them to the boat. SHARKS. We started getting heads with no bodies. We tried several other spots with the same results, it was like the sharks were just waiting for a boat to pull up and feed them. We caught a 37” king on a flat line several big blue porgie, and a hand full of grunts, but could not get any grouper or snapper to the boat, if the fish you were putting up a fight the sharks would get it. We noticed another boat near us was having the same results. The ride back in was slick, with barley a ripple, just small rollers. It was nice to have a good weather window and be able to spend some time on the water. I heard from 2 other people that fished that they had a slow day but did end up with a decent catches.
