Fishing with Kim Congdon & Uncle Lazer of “The Tropical Depression Tour”
As March kicked off with some amazing weather, as usual, the fishing was on fire and the bite was hotter than ever! I had just returned from a surf photo/video shoot in Barbados when I had two of my comedian friends come to town for a week of content production for an upcoming comedy tour, “The Tropical Depression Tour.” Fishing was the top priority for these jokesters, and it was nothing less than stellar conditions!
Kim Congdon (@kimcongdon) and Uncle Lazer (@uncle_lazer) were ready to take on the backwaters, navigating to some of my local secret spots on my fleet of paddleboards. Max Bressan was our main cinematographer for the week and had no shortage of laughs along the way!

Day 1 Backwater Fishing Catches
Our first day was filled with numerous redfish and baby bull shark catches, along with a few sheepshead and mangrove snappers. We utilized live shrimp and made a few casts with artificial. The bite was slow at the start, but once the tide started to flow, the fish were chomping! Uncle Lazer is a Texan and grew up fishing redfish, so he was no stranger to this species. Kim, who loves fishing and has a father who is a professional fisherman, was having a blast!
Unfortunately, Uncle Lazer didn’t put his sunscreen on and was burned to a crisp with a bad case of sun poisoning, which briefly changed his name to Uncle Lobster.
Day 4 with Ryan of IROC Oysters
On day four, we were greeted with a beautiful day with Ryan, owner of IROC Oysters, and he took us to his lease for some oyster sampling and then guided us to a nearby zone that was filled with snook. This was one for the record book, as we couldn’t keep those sideliner off our hooks. We only utilized artificial this day, and it was so good that Kim caught a solid black drum on a Erie Peeples Nasty Strike paddle tail.

Cast Em… Hook Em… And Catch Em!








https://xosoplus.mobi/ mình ghé vào thử vì thấy mọi người nhắc hoài, kiểu xem giao diện họ làm sao thôi. Vừa vào là thấy họ chia mục theo ngày khá dễ hiểu, có đoạn XSMB ngày 19/07/2026 rồi tách riêng phần dự đoán cho 20/7/2026 nên không bị lẫn lộn. Mình không rành số má lắm nhưng nhìn mấy khối dữ liệu trình bày ổn, đặc biệt cái bảng “Đầu Lô tô / Đuôi Lô tô” để dạng cột nên lướt nhanh vẫn bắt được ý. Cuộn xuống cũng không bị ngợp vì tiêu đề và nội dung tách ra rõ ràng, nhìn phát biết đang ở phần nào. Nói chung cảm giác là trang sắp xếp gọn, nhất là khu…
https://gg88.llc/ hôm trước mình thấy ai đó nhắc nên ghé thử cho biết, kiểu vào xem giao diện ra sao thôi. Cảm giác đầu tiên là trang làm khá thoáng, tối giản nhưng vẫn nhìn hiện đại, không bị rối mắt. Mình chỉ lướt nhanh chứ không đọc kỹ, nhưng cách họ gom nội dung lại khá dễ nắm, nhất là mấy phần thông tin sơ lược với các điểm nổi bật đặt ngay trên trang nên người mới khỏi phải mò lâu. Cuộn xuống cũng ổn, các khối nội dung tách bạch nên nhìn phát biết đang ở đoạn nào. Nói chung ai thích kiểu “vào là thấy ngay” chắc sẽ hợp, vì danh mục sắp xếp gọn và…
This was a nice read because it stayed simple and didn’t try to cram in a bunch of jargon. I liked that it explained the reasoning behind the tips, so it actually stuck instead of feeling like a checklist. Halfway through I ended up clicking around newimage.io since it gives off the same “practical guides” vibe when you want to double-check something without going down a rabbit hole. The examples felt pretty relatable too, like stuff you’d actually run into, not made-up scenarios. Also, the way the page is set up made it easy to skim when I got distracted—short chunks, clear headings, and nothing buried in giant walls of text. The layout really helps, especially with those clean section…
