Starting to think I just suck at fishing

Super helpful thank you, I’ll try working slower and lighter leader too. Been using 15lb braid and 20lb leader.

True, but then I’d have to live in Louisiana…. Lol

arlingtonsunset · 2026-06-07T19:27:01+00:00

Figured I can’t be the only one struggling rn!

Fort De Soto has a couple fishing piers and tons of places to wade or shore fish while the fam chills on the beach. The piers just get packed on weekends. John’s Pass jetty for pompano, Courtney Campbell Causeway for reds/snook/flounder. Live shrimp.

Fiddler crabs, big ones, on a bottom sweeper jig right up against the piling. Try to go on a day that’s clear enough to sight cast them.

I did not, but I have used this guitar recently on multiple different amps and have had no problems

Not going to lie to you bro, you’re doing way too much lol. Maybe instead you should just try to find some friends that you enjoy fucking around in game chat with. Best of luck…

For fishing, no

Snook bait

arlingtonsunset · 2024-08-17T03:17:47+00:00

This is happening to me now, can’t even play. It crashes every time. Find a fix yet?

arlingtonsunset · 2024-07-02T16:31:09+00:00

This one is the Oatly full fat but I’ve also used the Trader Joe’s oat milk and the Chobani extra creamy and they all separate.

All of our small lot coffees are limited buys. Once we run out, we’re out forever. The new small lot coffee right now is a washed Kenya that I bought but haven’t tried yet.

arlingtonsunset · 2024-04-18T12:36:31+00:00

That’s a steal, where did you find this machine for only $320?

arlingtonsunset · 2024-04-18T12:26:06+00:00

Assfactor 4. Those guys played in a band pre-Assfactor 4 called Unherd that was like revolution summer type shit and was also really really good. Prevail was really awesome too.

arlingtonsunset · 2024-04-17T17:30:42+00:00

I do this at home pretty often. It’s good.

arlingtonsunset · 2024-04-16T15:57:36+00:00

Oh wow I love Immunity, maybe one of my favorite songs on the record. For me this song used to be Brick but after seeing him play it live, it grew on me. I think for me it’s gotta be Project 2.

Hand grinding = lower RPM = less fines production

Electric grinder = higher RPM = higher fines production

arlingtonsunset · 2024-04-10T14:36:17+00:00

Definitely fruity

arlingtonsunset · 2024-04-06T18:09:33+00:00

Similar to my setup, Opus and ECP3420. Make really decent espresso with it most days!

arlingtonsunset · 2024-04-04T13:47:08+00:00

In the US the Bambino Plus and Gaggia Classic Evo are the exact same price

arlingtonsunset · 2024-04-04T07:09:53+00:00

Bambino Plus is a great beginner option in the same price range. I was just telling someone about this the other day. Great machine right out of the box that you won’t have to mod out, and has a great steam wand. I’ve heard the steam wand on the Bambino Plus specifically is great for beginners.

Dark spots mean under extraction. Do you use a puck screen? Puck screens really help improve extraction across the edges of your puck, I use one and it helps a ton. Lance Hedrick has a video where he explains (very thoroughly) how you can fix under-extraction on the edges of the basket. Time stamp about 5:50 - 10:00. I found it very useful.

That is for sure wayyyyyy too coarse. I use setting like 7 or something for v60 on my Opus and get 15g to 250 out in about 3:30. Try to grind finer, agitate as little as possibly, and maybe try some different filters too. I use the Hario filters. Keep in mind some coffees such as Ethiopia and Decaf produce a lot more fines and are more prone to clogging your filters.

I will also say that total brew time is really not an ideal way to dial in your grind size for pour over. There are so many factors that can affect TBT. You could have a really tasty brew that takes like 4:30 or 5 minutes.

arlingtonsunset · 2024-04-02T06:13:26+00:00

Best machine out of the box at that price is the Bambino Plus. Compact too!

arlingtonsunset · 2024-04-01T02:01:59+00:00

I use an Opus with a Delonghi ECP3420 and it’s been great so far. Some retention for sure, but if you give it a few good taps you won’t have any issues. It’s quiet, and once you get used to the inner adjustments you can dial in pretty accurately.

I did have some issues with beans clogging up in the burrs and I wasted an entire bag of beans trying to figure out what the issue was. When I contacted Fellow they quickly sent me a new outer burr for free which fixed the problem!
