Fingers crossed that tomorrow I have the forum updated from 19 versions ago when I had mine made.  Once that's done and on the server, then the website will be days away from launch!

Outdoor Activities / Family Boat Day (2024)

« on: July 25, 2024, 05:18:12 PM »

Every year we get out on the boat, but recently in the last few years we've loved hitting San V.  We were supposed to have our granddaughter, but she had to miss it for other reasons.

100-degree heat and one long ass walk from the ramp to the lot.



Fish were loving the ramp.  tons of bluegill and baby bass everywhere.





The sun was brutal and it was just downright hot.  The girls asked if I could bring some shade, so I put together something that worked out great!  It looked a little ghetto, but did the job!



We spent 3 hours cruising the lake and chilling with lunch until the oppressive heat was too much.



Finally we called it quits.  The minute I went up to get my truck, people started pouring in and I can say with utmost certainty that freshwater boaters are the worst on the ramp.  Doors wide open, no one could back down in a straight line...  Kids blocking the ramp with their trucks twice the height as they are...  I'd usually do what I've been doing and say it's just me with no patience, but my wife saw it all unfold from a distance and was wondering what the hell everyone was doing on the ramp.  At least for once I felt a little vindicated.

Anyway, minus that one snafu at the end, it was a fun day on the water.  Hannah will be an adult here in a few weeks, so this was her last trip on the boat as a kid. 
hahahaha

Air was 101.2 and the water was 87 degrees.  Water felt like ice water compared to the air.  lol

How do you keep Mongo away from that hot hole?  Is it covered up again?

What did he think of MB ?

It's 100 with 100% humidity out there and 92 at 10:30 at night... MB... 72 and sunny.

Even in the city, there are so many bugs...  Asked me if we even had bugs out here.

He's used to seeing lots of ladies on the beach in Moomoo's....   MB full of fit ladies in thongs.

Safe to say he loves it, but doesn't understand how anyone can afford it.

Awesome time! How would one crash this party.

Follow Cheez from Arizona and join the fun .

Unfortunately, AZ took Koga's license away because he's too old to drive.  He's an OG Coffin Dodger....

WOW, you really know how to throw a party!  Bravo boss!

I was hanging with my Uncle from the Bronx who was out visiting from the East Coast and I don't think he's seen that much dirt in his entire life.  It's all black top for him.   
It's great to see Squatch made it up there to enjoy some of that fine looking swine.

I'll get back up there one of these years.  Last time I brought the heavy rains.

Thanks for the post as always.  You have definitely passed the torch to your kids as they look like pros.

One last thing.... you need to hunt some tuna if you want to use that gaff!

Way over my pay grade Tom, but I really appreciate and enjoy your site.  I wish everyone who read it would be active

Thanks Verne.  I'm hoping to get this buttoned up this week, but that seems like a pipe dream.

SOLID yellowtail fishing!  I remember when that looked like a normal day in La Jolla, but those days are long gone or on the rare side it seems.

I have to admit.  I'd love to see you roll onto the boat with your TEMU reel with a Tady 45 tied on.  That would have made some memories.  lol   

Bravo boss!  Nice island fishing!

Curious, if I may ask.  Are you targeting threshers inside or outside of the wall?  Something about chasing BFT with 4lb line doesn't make sense to me.

Sent you a text on some specifics.

BFT on 4lb sounds pretty dull, but I bet one could beat that record. If I do anything it will be the 6 and 8 though.

Catching anything on 4# that weighs more than 4# is never dull.  LOL

Double digits of nice bass full of iron is good stuff.  Not triple digits, but pretty damn good.  lol

Gill nets???  If anything, they should be a long line as I'm pretty certain Gill nets are illegal in Cali. I need more clarification on that one.

Well done boss.  I couldn't even get out this weekend.  You have YFT right off the beach by you apparently.

It's getting close.  I spent 4 hours on Thursday with the old web guy trying to figure out how to transfer the forum over.  Seriously, In my head it was an easy thing to do, but when it comes to converting to the new websites, it's been all BUT easy.

The garden all of a sudden decided to start kicking out more veggies than I can handle.  I even delay planted stuff so it wouldn't be done all at one, but the plants must talk to each other.

Just a quick 5-minute pick because I ran out of room.

I thought it was like 6 years ago since I last saw my uncle, but he corrected me by saying it was at my wedding the last time I saw him.  Damn, that was 20 years ago!

He's been sweltering out east and wanted to get out to San Diego to relax and hang out for a few days.  The last two days have been fun, but my liver is acting up with all of the hanging out we've been doing.  lol



He's staying down at MB, so we took the family down for a little "Staycation".  There was no way I was going to the bay and not bringing at least a rod!  I was caught red handed when I said I was hitting the rest rooms...



For what it's worth, there's a decent spotty bite on the north end of the bay and a lot of bait.  ...   and a LOT of needlefish!

Today is Day three of food and drinks and I'll need to go on a "Liver" cleanse for a month after he leaves.  LOL

I bought it, going to sell "Stay the f@ck out of Arizona" Merch

Well, you'd probably make a killing then since no one ever would really want to go to Arizona (willingly at least).  lol
