A decent 4/3 in your temps would be perfect. Neoprene booties for surfing are great! I personally use a pair of farmer johns and a heater top. Keep up with the cool photos!Quote:

The little one and I wandered up to my dads place on lake Conroe for a couple days. Went for an evening cruise today with the neighbor, then hit up Busters for some awesome Crawfish and finally got some fishing in for Nolan. Good times even though we didn’t get into the water. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...91aa9252dd.jpg

Was lucky, just missed Southlake to the north. Saw some pics from Plano/McKinney as well....the roof salesman will be out in force shortly. For me....the lawn got watered, which was nice :)Quote:

It's more like the rule of 85 to 90 for me up here. Or really it's the rule of "it's not raining and it's not freezing temps overnight"Quote:

Damn that thing just looks like a monster from that angle. Could park my old tub next to it and it and the gunwale peaks at about the grab bar. LOLQuote:

Just wrapping up our trip to Havasu, nothing but a great experience - temps stayed in the mid-80’s pretty much all week.

havasu is one of my favorite places to visit. love golfing there at london bridge and parker(emerald canyon) is one of my top5 favorite courses of all time.
Again, I know it’s not surf related, but I had a blast night offshore fishing with a couple buddies from work. One of em bought a new Tidewater 280, twin 250’s, and we ran it hard yesterday.
Pulled up some monster red snapper.

Oh and a PSA for all the southerners, some people think rattlers can’t swim. They can, and do.

Looks like an amazing time. A buddy just got a Jupiter 38 HFS and I’m dying to get out on it.Quote:

Here’s some pics from dolphin season, took my Dad down the Keys for father’s day.

broke,
that rattler swimming is EXACTLY why I never made the tow to put the boat in anderson ranch reservoir above boise. it's loaded with rattlers around the banks due to the blm land around it and spring/summer it's open season on swimmers...
Texas and swimming rattlers, Florida and gators......WTF?!?

Matt, no idea the allure. I’m with you. When you’re talking being 30-100 miles out, id like to have a cabin, or more protected helm too. You’re out there traveling for hours one way to fish.
However, the smaller CC’s are more manueverable when you’re on the spot.
Brought home a new board today will swinging by my dealer. This should be just a weeeee bit of an upgrade over my Liquid Force Fish and Hyperlite Broadcast lol. Can’t wait to try out the Nubstep!

We have these things too but thankfully not too many are on the lakes I boat on!

That guy wins vacation... if you’re a fisher. Lol
First surf of the year! Air 58°, water 43°. [emoji1690] Wave on my buddy's new Max was sweet!!
Stock ballast +1000 lbs lead midships = killer wave. We didn't play with moving weight at all. More tweaking and this thing will be amazing. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...bcb78cf0a7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fcee559dda.jpg

lakes are still ice, but can't wait any longer. Gonna give her a nice coat of sealant inside and out and load it up for the first day the ice subsides.
Congrats!! I dig the orange accents in the interior [emoji41]Quote:
