Red Tide Sucks (part 2)

The water had slightly better clarity today, but you had to find a certain depth which held fish, to be able to sight-cast. Good amounts of striped bass in a small area, close to deeper water. They refused standard green crab and shrimp flies, but took a small white Shminnow.

Hard to beat a Roku gin martini after a long sight-casting session!

Local Favorites

Turkish Coffee

Out of the Cellar

Just got a bottle of this year's Vintage Ale by Trader Joe's. Even though guys at Unibroue do a splendid job every year with this brew, I am little disappointed with this year's vintage. Too much spice and not enough beer taste, I must say...

On the bright note, this beer ages really well, and we just finished the last bottle of 2007 a month ago. The current favorite is 2008. The 2009 was unusually spicy, but definitely not as much as the 2010. We'll see if little aging will improve the taste of this year's vintage.
