Been waiting for a fitting time to get this one posted; seeing how it’s high summer – tourist hit the beach time, it’s as good a time as any.
After a relatively mild early summer, it’s been roasting down here in Tejas prompting planning for a little beach time in a few weeks.
Sex on the Beach as a cocktail sounds cool and refreshing with a burst of citrus / fruit flavors, maybe after an afternoon and evening of sight casting to jack crevalle in the surf along the Texas coast (see this morning’s video).
Most of the fish you’ll find in the surf down there aren’t giants (2-5 lb), but they put up one hell of a fight and occasionally you’ll run into one pushing up into the 20s (the Texas record was just a hair over 50 lb). You may just get one shot, and you might have just run to the surf line to get set up, but when you connect – it’s show time.
As to the other sex on the beach, proceed with creativity and keeping in mind many of the same issues as when chasing those frisky Jacks with a fly rod – pay attention to wind, tide and stealth.

Pour all the ingredients into an ice-filled shaker and shake, shake, shake.
