ocean cove 4/1-4/6

myself and about 10 friends spent 5 days camping at ocean cove campground. somewhere between all the fried food and the 12yrold rum i did manage to get on the water a few times. we abdove twice. once from boogieboards and once from the kayaks. nothing really big. the largest was just over nine inches. Abdvr(lyle) and i set 3 crabpots for two overnight soaks for one dungie and several rockcrabs. Saturday was the highlight. Dennis Spike showed up at camp. Although we didnt fish, we had a good time sitting around the fire nippin,tippin and sippin the rum. he is a good storyteller with a great sense of humor. he came across as a real solid dude. Later that night, Paul Wood (guitar player for john lee hooker) and his harmonica player (mark schowalter) put on a hell of a blues show at our campfire.

Now that's my kind of camping!!! Love the big grill and all the food. Not to mention the "RUM" 

Ocean, beach, booze, good food, jamming, and great company! My kind of mix. Thanks for sharing.

Good Times, kayakjack!  Thanks for the report.   

Camping by ocean, sipping good rum around the campfire, invoking the ghost and haunting music of John Lee - must have been a touch surreal. Thanks for the report KJ.

Completely jealous!!!  Man, that sounds like a ton of fun!  We need more camp/fish outings!!!  Your pics are mouthwatering, your report very moving... I CANT WAIT ANY LONGER, I NEED SOME CRAB!!!! 

Epic!

KayakJack,

A very enviable outing!  Say; what kind of collapsible crab pots are those?  They look nice and sturdy.  I've been using crab rings, but it would be nice to get some pots for the kayak that could soak overnight.  -Matt

Looks like you had a killer time at the cove.Great food ,great freinds ,and great booze. What more could anybody ask for. Maybe next time I can make it for a couple days.

       i bought those crabpots at outdoor pro shop in ronhert park for $30ea. they are pretty sturdy. i think scwafish(great white kayak co.) sells some that are better.

that grill is great! that is camping in style. and yeah, i have only met spike once, he seems like a cool cat.
