Crap. It's spring break again? i thought I had another week at least before the drunken hordes descended. There goes another offshore trip. No way and I fighting my way thru that.  True. Of course, season's closed on just about everything anyway. They should open a season on Spring Breakers just to tide us over until the water warms up... Texas, not Florida.  Spring Breakers on Padre Island. The black drum and redfish are running hot on the flats right now and I was hoping to head down Monday thru Thursday. 
Cobia and Spanish will be here soon but it's still too cold, too warm for speckled trout, redfish are doing okay but the rain has muddied the bay and they normally stack up in the pass right now due to the cleaner water. I hold to my statement about open season on SBers, though

52x12oz of beer / (128oz/gal)=4.88 gallons of beer.
They did not factor in that beer is only 5% alcohol. so the real answer is .24 gallons of alcohol. As such it would take 45 cases of beer to be 5 gallons of alcohol. |

As far as alcohol goes, I am spoiled living in CA, I can buy and drink until I die. I went to Vancouver and Seattle a few months ago and could only find beer and wine. The old man told me I had to wait until the next morning to buy liquor at the state run liquor store, which closes at 8pm. Weed is more legal than booze in some places. |
