Capt. Chuck Uzzle For the Record All along the Texas gulf coast the pattern is the same, cool fronts signal the much anticipated frenzy that is fall fishing.

THOMAS IS TOO GOOD—HE’LL BE BACK What was a serious fear for ‘Home Boy’ Earl Thomas came to past on Sunday when the Seahawks safety broke his leg. Thomas had pushed for a contract extension. His contract was set to expire at the end of the season. He begged to be traded. After holding out in pre-season, he returned without financial security. As they carted him away, he raised a middle finger towards the sideline at the decision makers who had declined an extension or to trade him. Earl’s season is over and most likely pa...
