I stopped and saw Ollie and chatted for a while.

Well, here goes...

My wife really likes the bigger boats, but we don't have room for them!  lol
My granddaughter also approved.



"Wifey says yes".... Nice try boat dealers!

We saw about everything and I picked up some deep diver trollers for yellows and tuna.  They were in the Friends of Rollo booth, but new sort of.  We then started walking the docks and stopped at the floating lab.  They had a bunch of critters onboard that my granddaughter loved.





Then we found where Lydia wants to have her "Birthday Party"...  I guess I haven't been down at the docks in a while since I've never seen these!



Lydia was just amazed and excited!





My wife even enjoyed it.



Afterwards, I told Lydia this was the boat i was going to rent for her birthday party.  hahaha



We stopped a few times since we kept bumping into people... well, just to be clear, they knew me and it was annoying Lydia and Mendy.  LOL



Stopped to see Kelly and then Emily and her boyfriend TJ showed up.  We immediately went on a boat cruise since I can't believe how busy it was.  That might have been the busiest morning I've ever seen during the event.



Boat ride for the kids!



We saw tons of sea dawgs and the kids loved it.  I was probably the only person onboard that was rolling his eyes.  lol

We got back to do our annual Pizza Nova trip and it was a 45 minute wait at 2:30!  WTF.... well, thankfully they called us earlier but it ended up being a great day.

I did come back with four beast deep divers for $25



and 2 boxes of assorted lead for $20 which was WELL worth it.

That was it in a nutshell.  Another fun year in the books.

Got 3 Current Snipers for tuna and yellows. I never use stick baits for them, but witnessed a dude kill 'em last year on them. Also stocked up some deeply discounted apparel. Also visited some old coworkers at H&M.

I've done very well with footballs on the snipers, wouldn't go on an overnighter without them.

That's the plan! Posting here to get any OC lurkers to do the same.

My coworker says the husband did the same to him.

If you're gonna have the only house up against the public beach, ya ought to be a better steward.

They're also the most likely to poop on ya!

Not the leafy stuff I was hoping to see...

I see more animal parts in the bed of a truck in your future now that you have a place to store them

I totally forgot about it   We had Breakfast at Lake Wohlford and did absolutely nothing the rest of the day, I knew I was missing something

That was fast !
