Me????  A procrastinator????  It only took me 15 months to decide where I wanted to mount the power center.  2, 12 volt sockets; 2, 2.4 amp USB ports and a 5 plug power strip/surge protector.

No bull reds or bull black drum today but did catch a first, gaff top catfish, took a whole crab.  Not only is the dorsal fin long but so are the pectoral fins.  Went about 3 lbs, very very slimy

edible but watch out for those spiny fins got something on then that hurts like the Dickens for quite a while, did it once, lesson learned.
With colder weather the flounder run should be under way, fished Galveston 3 weeks ago, to early, just 1 caught but tons of croaker and
couple sand trout.

Makenmend.... thanks for the heads up on eating them. A couple other people have told me the same so I’m going to give them a go. I’ve been catching tons of speckled and sand trout, under the 15” size limit. Haven’t seen the first flounder.
 
Chillaxin evening in camp.  Wanna know something that feels fantastic???  Put your chair out in the water and soak your bare feet while cleaning them with sand.  Ooohhh soooo Good!!!
This is view from side door, sound of the waves just lulls you to sleep:)

Was all the rage in Asian salons 8+ years ago.

Very ticklish

def looks like heaven -- and the fishing too..once i hit road will need to figure whats more important -- my sewing or my fishing gear ...lol!
 
No idea on weight or length, just a nice black drum that represented his species well with a great fight.  Took a whole 6” wide crab.  Life is good.

After using the Weboost 4G-S Cell signal booster for over a year I decided to upgrade to the  Weboost Drive 4G-X Booster.  Reason:  Phone doesn’t have to cradle in it.  The 4G-X has an inside as well as outside antenna allowing you to move about wirelessly with the phone.  I’ve been using the 4G-X for a couple months now...very satisfied.

For example, right now, without it 2 bars and 3G.  With it 4 bars LTE.
