Yea really funny to see what America does on their time off. It's not the start of surf season, it's the end of surf season here in the Northern Hemi
Yeah I hate surf fishermen because they think they own the ocean, be lucky they didn't start chumming
Hey kanman I can't remember exactly, I was thinking red, but could have been blue. It very welll may have been him! He was in his 50s and a bit on the heavy side...
If you're from a costal tourist town the proper name for this thread is " stupid shyte people did that almost killed them but not quite so they are heros! Boo this man!
A few of the typical car wrecks, and a BUNCH of cars on the side of the road Saturday and Sunday morning (likely DUIs) I went to my secret, secluded, paradise beach this weekend so I managed to avoid most of the tourfuks
Perriwinkle, Nalu? or North End marker 6? Saw two guys with fishing poles paddle a good 1/4 out to sea in an inflatable swimming pool. They actually made it back in, too.. Saw a guy in a 3/2 wetsuite. Water Temp was 78... Saw my wife do karioke for the first time. Alcohol was involved.
Sunday and Monday were gross, as I ranted about in the other thread. So I didn't much after Saturday, like the idiot who went in to surf with just trunks and boasted about his world class surfing in South Florida. Saw a couple people leaving the beach and getting soaked, after it poured on them on Sunday. I was driving and saw about two dozen to maybe 15 people making a run for it from the beach in the rain. That was about it. Saw a bunch of random traffic stops and people getting breathalyzers and going through the DUI protocol, which is typical of these weekends.
I generally avoid the beach on the big holiday weekends. I did go briefly on Saturday cuz the wife insisted. I told her it would suck. It sucked. Crowded as fuk and flat. We went for a swim and left. Only two days prior I was out catching some knee to waist high bomb liners on a gray, rainy day with nobody else on the beach. It was perfect. I'll be glad when the only folks I see at the beach are the Quebecois. Just five months to go.
Guy talking on his cell phone behind me in line at Home Cheapo, as he's pacing back and forth, all nervous and jerky like... "...and deez guys... d'ere all fishin! All standin' on da beach, FISHIN'! An ya know what d'ere fishin' fowa? STRIPED BASS! D'ere fishin' for STRIPED BASS! An you know what d'ere usin'? CLAMS! Dey got frozen CLAMS, an d'ere usin' dem to catch STRIPED BASS!" "...AND YOU SHOULD SEEEEE DA BIKINIS! You won't believe it... wait 'till you get heea..."
Hey...I like Dixie....I use their cups all the time!! But I am just trying to reignite the Civil War. When Greg Allman died, that is all I heard"Oh, dixie this", or "Dixie that". Fine. But the North handed you guys an ass wiping. Now, don't forget, I am from a lot further south than youz southerners.....
Just south of Perriwinkle actually, The North End was bananas as you know. I have seen a dude at CB pier paddle out with a full suit on too, his face is always covered with Zinc, rides the softop and never goes out past knee deep, just attempts to ride the white wash straight into the sand and then eats it. I thought it was funny at first then realized something is off with him, but hey at least he's surfing.
