Man, I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little jealous reading this. Sounds like a solid after-work session, especially once you dialed in the nuclear chicken bite. Love when they finally tell you what they want... even if it takes a few lure changes to figure it out.

Honestly, 8 bites and 4 fish isn't bad at all, but I get what you mean with a big tide, you expect it to just be wide open. Funny how it never quite lines up the way you think it should.
Meanwhile I'm over here having not fished in at least a month, so I'd happily take a "slow" session like that right now. You've got me itching to get back out there but the boats not fixed for the ocean yet.  Potentially take it for bonefish this weekend in the back bay (5mph zone) or maybe just cast big plugs in the surf for stripers, butts and WSB.

I need to get my fix in before I start to lose it over here.

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.
