Someone please tell this newbie what an ABS and beeliner are.

2

ABS is a type of polymer material commonly used in waste plumbing. ARS is American Red Snapper. Very good food quality and they grow to over 30 lbs. Beeliners are vermillion snapper - a very tasty and pretty fish that grow to 6 lbs. The name came from some head boat captains that called them basket liners back in the day when each customer was issued a basket to fill with fish. This degenerated to slang - Bliners

Duh on me. I meant ARS. I used to use ABS pipe when I was a pipefitter years ago. Thanks for the reply. I only knew ARS as Atlanta Rhythm Section, a great band from my younger days.

I thought the Atlanta Rhythm Section was the area near Jimmy Carter Blvd on the north side

If you ever fished the clipper, they’re bliners.

Your arse! No kidding? Had many “team building” trips on that boat. I always fought to fish out the back. I used to laugh my tail off watching two individuals from opposite sides snag each other.

According to Phin, numbers are obsolete. I guess he’s callin’ yall old or something.
