Let's get you on some SD bay bonefish soon. I haven't targeted them in a few years and miss how strong and fun they are.

BTW, is this a ghost boat or just moored all weird.  I realize it's probably someone crouched down behind the console, but just looks like AI placed it there.

I just planted two days ago, Corn Peppers, Tomatoes and 3 kinds of Zucchini 

Pics when the corn and zucchini pops up and starts looking like a garden

I let a squash grow that I was hoping was spaghetti squash, but now looks to be HUGE pumpkins!  My garden is going nuts, but the corn is not growing for some reason.  I've planted twice, but nothing is taking root.

I don't know where to start....  are there just really no fish there or is it that you've adopted the Koga strategy he taught you up there?  hahaha

In any case, you are fishing way more than me lately.  I don't want to take my boat out until I get the loose console sorted out and gas has me thinking twice since I'm having a hard time justifying spotties for $7 a gallon.  lol

As for that Oil slick.... what Tim said.... It should make you glide across the water faster.  lol

Thanks for the report Jeremy.  It's killing me that I have barely fished since landing this new low paying job.

Well, That's a festival...  I'm only talking a get-together.  lol

I see he hasn't checked in for a while.  Maybe if I start a thread poking at him, he might magically reappear on the boards again!

I'll put up some photoshops when I get back home to make sure this thread is a success!

Otherwise, feel free to share a Kogahead experience here if you want.

I'll start with a joke...

Kogahead goes fishing every morning and never catches a thing.
One day Jeremy asks, "Why do you keep coming back if you never catch fish?"
Kogahead smiles and says,
"Fishin' isn't about catching fish.
It's about sittin' quietly and proving day after day that the fish are smarter than me."

Ha!  Sounds good though.  I'll look to see what Sunday looks best but I'm down for some soaking baits and grilling food.  Would you rather try to set something up down at the bay or do a catfish soak like we used to do with Homa?

Question, who would be into a BBQ at the bay or a lake for a little gathering and bait soaking session one weekend?  Just a thought since many of the lakes have an evening catfishing event and it would be great to kick back with some of the old crew.  Unfortunately, no Homa to grill up some kabobs but I can think of something.

Ha!  I have to throw something up on the boards every now and then since I've been relegated to a desk from 7:00am to 5pm every day... and have a busted center console to ridicule me every time I pull into the driveway.

Sasquatch is reported to make a wide range of vocalizations, including deep growls, piercing screams, whoops, whistles, and wood knocks, often described as primal and otherworldly.

Types of Vocalizations
Witnesses and researchers have documented several types of Sasquatch sounds:
Deep, guttural growls: Low-frequency, sometimes infrasonic, vibrations that can be felt as well as heard, often interpreted as territorial warnings or signals of presence.

Piercing screams: High-pitched, intense vocalizations that can last several seconds and are often reported during nighttime encounters.

Whoops and hoots: Short, repetitive sequences of 1–5 seconds, sometimes grouped in 2–4 sounds, resembling primate calls but distinct in tone and rhythm.

Whistles and mouth squish sounds: Unique noises produced by the mouth, sometimes resembling speech-like patterns or melodic tones.

Wood knocks: Rhythmic tapping on trees or logs, possibly used for communication or territorial marking.

It doesn't happen often, but I hate the thought of skunk... Ugh ... I'm getting rusty from work I assume...

I know I haven't edited the list in a while, but Josh and Mike have been catching them.  I would totally added them if they were posted here but they have other ways of broadcasting their catches these days.  LOL

I'll post up a garden picture soon but my garden is well ahead of schedule.  I also went a little overboard with what I planted this year but apparently everything like the lobster and crab shells I buried all winter.

Here is what I planted from small plant or seed... and it's all going nuts.

-Pumpkin (Somehow a remnant seed was there and sprouted so I left it hoping it may be a watermelon.
-Yellow Neck Squash
-Japanese Eggplant
-Zucchini
-Sugar Snap Peas
-Green Beans
-Wax Beans
-Red Peppers
-Orange Peppers
-Cucumbers - 3 types (Boston Picklers, Burpless Beauty, National Pickling)
-Tomato Plant - 3 Types (Big Beef, Heirloom, Sweet Cherry)
-Corn (Peaches and Cream)
-Walla Walla Sweet Onion
-Asparagus
-Carrots
-Strawberries
-Basil

All in my small garden.  It is starting to look like a jungle....

Yep, I'm a Star Wars dork.  Always have been even if I don't necessarily like all of the Disney versions.  Actually, Andor of all series is by far my all-time favorite.

Well, there's a bunch of new shows when I get home so I know exactly how I'm going to spend the night.

I pulled some lobster out to make some lobster rolls, tangy coleslaw, and sweet potato fries.  Grabbing a glass of Pinot, hybrid 10mg, and settling into the recliner for some far far away escapism.

...and with that.... May the Force be with You.

I needed some fishing time, but I needed some relaxing time more.  My wife and daughter were apparently attached to this full moon and I needed some space.  I didn't want to run all the way to the bay for a few spotties, so I decided to park next to the puddles and soak an inflated crawler and a chunk of mackerel.

Well, damn... the park was packed!  I found a spot that offered some relief of the crowds and got to work.  I was even casting some bass gear to see if I could find a wayward hog in the area.  I was also hoping there was a stray big trout about since May is usually when the last trout of the season were caught but it wasn't going to be this day.

Every kid walking by had to throw rocks in the water right between my rods.... or the bass guys casting the huge swimbaits right where I casted my baits.  Instead of getting frustrated, I took a gummy.

Then I kept seeing big wakes right around where I casted and kept hoping it was a bass since it was pretty shallow out there.  Then I think I saw the back of one and it looked like a huge carp!  I casted artificials for nothing and didn't have corn so I kept doing what I was doing.

I was sitting in my chair outside the truck since it was way more comfortable.  I shouldn't have been amazed, but I was from all of the people stopping to talk to me.  Very nice people but it wasn't the peace and quiet I was hoping for.  Then I look over the shoulder of the couple talking to me and see my rod doubled over!  Lady is in my way, but as I Barry Sander's her to get to the rod, it dropped it.  It was on the floating crawler so it could have been anything.

Well, I was going to stay until 7:00 (closing time) but I had about enough at 5:00.  These puddles are crowded on the weekends, and I never get home early enough to fish them weekday, so I'm stuck in corporate hell for the time being.  Personally, getting a paycheck is better than not getting a paycheck so I guess I'm fine with it.  The gummy definitely helped.  lol

Until next puddle trip!
