yard work, packing for vacation, and fishing all night (gotta check the town websites to make sure I avoid fire works - don't want to deal with those crowds)

Hanging out with Jess and relaxing. All of our friends will be away, so I guess it will be pretty mellow.
Gotta go to Miami on Sunday the 6th, though.
Be safe everybody,
Rick

Hoping to go yakking w/the wife and hook up with sis. and brother in law at the thimbles islands. Then to an all day cook out that a friend who owns a rest. throws every year (clams, lamb, shrimp, Filet, salmon, etc.). Finally, back home to watch the town's firework display.

Everyone - have fun and be safe.

I too will be grilling all weekend. I dont have AC in the kitchen and its too hot to cook inside. Will also consume copious amounts of bourbon with friends and the woman. Fishing those wee morning AM's.

I'll sit on one of the Bayside beaches, as I have for the last 50 years, and watch the whole Cape celebrate with fireworks. Family, lifelong friends, a couple of cold ones...it's the best. then on the 6th Jenn and I celebrate our 34 Anniversary. Life's been good to me so far.:hee:

We have spent the last 4 years on the 4th down in wellfleet, this year we are going to my brother's house in E. Bridgewater to a huge cookout, he has a pool and a very large yard. I'll probably help him grille, then maybe play some wiffleball and swim. The rest of the weekend is a question still, maybe I can get some fishing in among the work around the house.

:cheers2: Have a good one and don't drink and drive.

spend the day with the wife and daughters on the boat. With any luck pull in a striper or two.....the girls love to reel in fish. Maybe get home in time to light the grill (not a necessity) maybe try and catch a fireworks display somewhere.

Nice!! What's your poison? Im partial to Maker's and Bulleit for my 'regular' bourbon, and Woodford Reserve for something a little more special (and more $$$...)

Getting together with the family and cooking up a storm. Lots of BBQ (pulled pork,ribs,etc),good times and just relaxing..And also enjoying quite a few single malts (several scotch drinkers in the mix)..As well as some ice cold summer ales...
May wet a line,but with the holiday on a weekend,they would be night time trips..

Man, that sounds like the perfect day. :hee:

It'll be some Vodka's for me for most of the day.

Well fishing has slowed here in Jersey so I'm painting the basement door. And working on new lights for the back porch. That's what I get for putting it off all spring.

Yahhd work, house work, work work, fire works, and throwing some plugs and eels in a hopefully quiet place at some ungodly hour. I'll be staying the hell out of Hummarock. Last year I thought I could fish there on this 4th of July weekend. HAHHAHAHAHAHAAHA. 1000 drunk kids later... 1 sickly looking schoolie for all my efforts and a nice key job on my car. At least the fireworks were amazing...

Message from Basic Patrick

I have four days of full on fish til I drop plans...some with the honey and some without...It was all supposed to begin with a Thursday night commando raid upon the Backside and end up in Buzzards Bay on Mondya afternooon.

I read flap's Mung thread however it was too late to cancel as I had made plans to cruise CG Beach for the last of the incoming get my large and come home for a short nap and dawn patrol with the honey...long story cut short...the mung was there but fishable at most places...unfortunately no, none, zero signs of life...only action we had was my friend burying the truck to the frame and the two plus hors to dig it out....arrrgh!!!!!!!

Let's see now, It took me three plus hours to get home and now with minimal sleep it is noon, I missed Dawn Patrol and question remains...what should I do now!!!!...Oh Wendy...back that truck up to the skiff!!!!!
