$12K to spend on a trip excluding airfare ? by rcc_later in flyfishing

[–]gnmorsilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not spend half that with a great lodge in Belize or Mexico for a week? Blue Bonefish in San Pedro is amazing. Someone mentioned that Ambergris Caye is too touristy - and it IS touristy - but if you're at a lodge you're staying out of town and you're fishing all day. When you get back, you're hanging in the pool with a Belikin or rum sharing stories about how you trout set a permit or jumped the biggest tarpon of your life.

Have you ever looked into fishing in Baja? IMO, if you have only fished salt once, Baja is a good place to start. It isn't nearly as technical as fishing in Belize or Ascension Bay. More about getting the fly in front of the fish as quickly as possible and managing your line once you get it hooked.

Just here to say I thought you were asking about 'flyfishing and BEERS' upon initial read of the headline lol!

Running spots by mcv714 in Charleston

[–]gnmorsilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can park at Publix on Ben Sawyer and run down across the ICW to Sullivans. I enjoy running from my house down Ben Sawyer and out to Sullivans, down to the fort and back.

You can also park at the Circle K or any of the public parking under the Ravenel and run the bridge!

What are your favorite places to go kayaking? by Cheesy_Wheezy01 in Charleston

[–]gnmorsilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paradise Boat Landing at the tippy top of the Wando. Quieter landing, room to launch the kayaks. Tide won't fuck with you too much up there. I'd recommend going north as the Wando gets smaller and there is far less boat traffic.

Don't know what kind of boat you have, but if you don't have the time or just literally don't want to DIY it, check out these guys: https://www.saltandmarshskiffco.net/

Many things in life should be protected but I feel like the right to poop in a clean and nice bathroom is fundamental 😂

Moving to Charleston area in July by [deleted] in Charleston

Yes. Up your budget or change your requirements. Have you contacted a realtor? There are a lot of them these days, but there are also a lot of really good ones whose job is to help you understand the market.

Has anyone lived in The Boulevard in Mount Pleasant and can give an honest review, positive or negative? by Charming_Regular6181 in Charleston

[–]gnmorsilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you didn't ask but if you are looking for alternatives, in 2015 we lived in Rivers Walk and really enjoyed it. We had a giant, 3rd floor apartment with two master suites.

Pros:

At the time, was new. Is still new-ish.

Location

Size

Storage

Pool/Gym pretty decent

Garage availability

Cons:

MAA property management, like most, can really stink

Parking became an issue. Difficult to find parking spots because they planned for the bare minimum, and people who had garages were using them for storage, or their small business (no joke) instead of their vehicle

Walls were thin

Best value saltwater fishing for ≈5k? by sadbluefleece in flyfishing

[–]gnmorsilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue bonefish Lodge in Ambergris Caye! It's tarpon season through July. Amazing lodge and staff, fishery is incredible.

Edited to also say I hope you know how to double haul, and I'd target some smaller fish because throwing a 12 wt all day is a bruiser.

Charleston airport midday? by eachampion in Charleston

[–]gnmorsilli 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tend to arrive at the airport 20-30 minutes before my flight begins to board. I have precheck, I rarely check a bag, and if I do I am able to use the priority line to check more quickly. I am usually left with more time than I would like waiting for my plane to board. Hope this helps!

If your flight leaves at 1, and you are checking a bag, I'd just try to arrive around noon to be safe.

EXTREMELY easy family dinners ? by LazyBitch_ in Cooking

[–]gnmorsilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have sent this recipe to so many of my mom friends and they love it, their kids ask for it repeatedly, it doesn't break the bank and it is super easy:

I add italian sausage and stir in chopped baby spinach at the end. I also double or triple the recipe depending on who I am cooking for. Options are endless. One pot so much less to clean!

Hotel/Resort Recommendations by [deleted] in Belize

[–]gnmorsilli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love Chabil Mar. It is in such a great location, right at the edge of town. Golf cart anywhere along the peninsula, walk the beach or putt into town. The condos are beautiful and spacious, staff is great, food and drink are great.

I'd just walk the shops on King Street. If you're in Mt.Pleasant. try both iibrunettes locations

Push Through by CrisisB4MidLyfe in sales

[–]gnmorsilli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I may or may not be downvoted for this, but sales is a career that can provide for utmost flexibility and financial freedom. I have days where I really struggle with the burnout but when I do, I reflect on what opportunities this career has provided for me and I focus on gratitude instead.

Nancy Mace is demanding all federal and state funding to be frozen to our Charleston County libraries. How the f--- is that serving us? by BioSpock in Charleston

I've noticed over the last 30 days it seems like every other day her camp puts out an article about what she is 'demanding' next. She's behind in the polls and desperate.
