My normal job as an engineer can be rewarding at times. I get to play with things that very few get even see in their lifetime and I get to hang with some really interesting people. But, like most “day jobs”, it has its moments. The past two months have been “these moments”. I’ve been working 7 days a week for most of that time and trying to fit in hanging with the kids and my writing. To say I’ve reached burn-out stage is, well, an understatement. Right now my job isn’t loving me back eventhough I have given it so much of myself since the beginning of the year. So, it’s time to take some time.
Saturday morning I’m hooking my boat up, a 2008 BassCat Cougar FTD I purchased in May last year (it has 5 hours on it), and I’m towing it to northern California to spend 5-6 days fishing waters that I love. In that time I hope to forget about life at “the Site” and spend some time in the boat I bought to use instead of collect dust in my garage. The hard part is going to be pulling my gear out of the rubbermaid boxes its called home for the last year due to a remodel. But hey, the fact is I’m getting away and hopefully the fish will cooperate. If they don’t, at least I’ll have a good time on the water and in the boat.

Hey darkman, howzit going? Good I hope. Yeah, I was due for a break. Not the broken motor, though.
prosource – I got pics man!
xtrachewy – I had to pass on Pedro. My boat spent the entire time in Modesto unfortunately….
About time tater…have a blast
Bring back pictures! =)
it’d be very hard to pass by Pedro…. good luck out there!
Hey xtrachewy, heck, I could end up at Pedro, Shasta or who knows where. lol. But CL is definitely on the agenda.
Tee – I’ll have my camera with me for sure but, at the same time, it’s a bit difficult to take pictures when it’s only you in the boat. I’ll do what I can……
Have fun Tater!! Catch a biggun for me and don’t forget to stop in the middle of a good bite and take pictures
you couldn’t have picked a better time! most waters are mid 50’s to mid 60’s,the weather has been stable,and we have a nice moon comin’! psssh it’s been pretty good everywhere!
I will say the delta has been tough the last few weeks(still recovering from yesterdays windy BoatMX sessions) not to say it couldn’t turn around real quick! I’d drop the troller at Clear Lake there’s been some nice bags comin’ in!
