Totaly depends on the area you are in. over 1000 miles of waterway, you can surely finde some wide open areas. Franks Tract, Sacramento arm...Let me know if you are coming up and we can meet up for a few cold ones.

[Ms. AquaBoogie1]

We will be at New Hogan this weekend! Should be pretty fun!!!:D

[MOBrien]

Gonna kill two birds this weekend.......
Sac River around Discovery Park/Chevy's/Rio City all day Saturday....kid-less.
Hogan or maybe Comanche on Sunday with kids-in-tow.
Who's gonna be where and driving what?
We're in a 2000 24' Cheetah, all white w/ purple & orange scratch graphics running to the back. Would love to hook up for some coldies if anyone's gonna be around those parts.

Marin County, & you? I think I have seen the Mr. at Lost Isles before...

[Aqua Boogie1]

Nor-Cal.....you probley have. Im usually there on holiday weekends. Were from Walnut Creek.......a block from downtown.

[NorCalCat]

Any suggestions for a beach in the area. NOT the beach at Disco Park, too crazy on the holiday weekend with little kids.

[RACER52]

We will be at Lake Mc. Clure this weekend. Not too far of a drive.
1.5 hrs towing from Stockton. Will have ahouse boat for peeps to tie off if needed.
Will have the Rayson craft and ski boat up there.

NorCal-
There is a hidden stretch of beach down river from Old Sac. I think it's only accessible by boat and has room for about 6 boats to beach up to. If you're movin, you will pass it because it's on the left as you hook a left hand sweeper....through the S's if I remember correctly. We saw it on Father's day. There's also another area ("Garcia Bend"...Pocket Rd & I-5 offramp) that is about 20 mins. down river from Old Sac...it'll be on your left as well if you're heading down and there is a small (free) boat ramp there too. If the water is low, it's a one laner. If it's up, two depending on the boat sizes...it's got a small 40' courtesy dock protecting the launch lane from boat wakes....simple launch & recovery area that doesn't get too crowded & produce waiting to enter or exit. If you're near Sacto on Saturday, look for us. We'll keep an eye out for you too...tough to miss that bad-boy---nice ride ya got thur!
Here's ours...

[Ms. AquaBoogie1]

Hope to see some of you there at New Hogan, this is our boat....http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/600boat-thumb.jpg

Not sure where we are going. I'd like to hit the area you mentioned, however, we will launch about 10:00 and with the crowd the beaches will be taken.
If we do make it up there, I'll keep an eye out for you. Is that a cat you are running? Great looking boat!

[Dave C]

I need to meet up with some of you Norcal guys/gals.....
maybe the next ***boat dealio at Berryessa or Delta?!?.
BTW I need a guide for the Delta! I don't know where the F*cuk I'm going on the Delta.;)
My friends found a very nice launch ramp in Stockton on the San Joaquin. Big, lots of parking, etc. (forgot name but its off March Lane.)

[Aqua Boogie1]

You can go into any marina store and purchase a map of the Cal delta thats on the delta. It lists just about every place on there. :)

[Her454]

MsAquaBoogie..........If ya see a Party Boat with MotherLode***boats painted on it (Yellow and Purples) stop us and say hi! We'll prob be out there Saturday, I'll be looking for your boat! :)

Ya, you can get a map at any marina on the Delta. I highly recomend it. It is way too easy to get lost up there. The key is the Red and Green markers in the channels.
I will be heading up to Berryessa the following weekend. Let me know if anyone is going to be there.

[Aqua Boogie1]

Her454..............We will be up sometime after 2pm Sat. So we will be looking 4 that houseboat....:D

[Aqua Boogie1]

No, Lake Berryessa.
I wonder how it got it's name?

[NorCalCat]

Not sure where the disconnect was. Sorry all.

[MOBrien]

NorCal,
Thanks for the compliment. Not a cat, she's a 24' Cheetah tunnel. Drives like a cat, that's why I love it!
OK, here's our plan. We'll be up and down between Garcia Bend and Discovery Park in Old Sac all day Saturday. Sunday looks like either Hogan or Folsom which is yet to be determined.
Anyone gonna be on teh Sac River near Old Town????

[Aqua Boogie1]

Well from what I've read.......hardcore-ski will be on the sac river and Me and her454 will be at new hogan.

[Her454]

No problem...I was wondering what the hell? I've missed out on Pleasure Cove all these years? :) So far I know of Whiskey Creek, Coors Cove and the Cliffs....................;)
Hope to see ya there AquaBoogies..................the HardCoreSki's are SO fun to party with but I guess they are too good for Hogan. :D :cool:

Not sure how it got that name, but up until the early to mid-nineties it was called "Southshore". I think the name changed when the resort changed hands.

[RACER52]

if anyone ever needs a guide for the delta I'm your man. Been on the delta my whole life. Can lead with the ski boat for the slow folks or with my new racer and have a ball.

Lets do it after the holiday! Lets get a group and go rip it up on the Delta. I'll follow you.

[MOBrien]

NorCal.....that'd be a lot of fun let's do that. I'm in Elk Grove and can be on the river in a heartbeat!
Can anyone tell me what boat HardCoreSki has & what it looks like? We'll keep an eye out for 'em on the Sac River Saturday.

[Dave C]

If you guys hook up in the future, post it up here. I will try to make it.
I will be at Berryessa this Friday only.
If anyone makes, see you there.

[MOBrien]

DC,
You frequest Berryessa? Looks like we'll be out there the 2nd weekend of Aug with two of our neighbors. One's got a 21 Tige, the other a 21 Malibu I think...then there's us in the Cheeter. You gonna be out there that weekend? We'll be throwin a few back for sure!

[Aqua Boogie1]

[Pointerman]

My boat is in the shop right now (trying to track down a gas leak), so I hope you all have fun on the 4th. Please post any future fun runs on the Delta. It is the only place I boat. Keep your eyes open for a red 20' Baja Outlaw. That will be me. Can't hang with you Cat guys, but my insurance is cheaper. :D

[MOBrien]

Dave C-
Never been to Berryessa, but our neighbors have a place up there so they'll know where the bridge is...'cause I have no friggin idea. I'll look out for your ride that 2nd weekend in Aug.
Racer52-
Dude, I can't keep up with the monster I hear you have.:cry:
But I'd definitely be in for a fun run on the Delta. End of July...1st weekend in Aug maybe?
AB1-
Thanks for puttin up that pic. I'll keep watch for that Malibu. Also, looks like we're gonna try gettin our crew out to Hogan on Sunday. Any advice on when we need to get to day-use before it's totally packed....or will that matter bein that it's the 4th? I'm not a Hogan regular so have no idea what to expect on Sunday out there.
Later all,
MOB

[Aqua Boogie1]

Mob......I don't visit there much but I would just arrive early just to be on the safe side.

MOB- Last weekend were the fireworks and the place was turning boats away by 1pm. Traditionally the 4th weekend is packed and last year the ramps were full by 2 on Sunday and it was a madhouse. I'd really get there early if you want a spot to park or be able to launch. :)

[RACER52]

MOBRIEN= no worries, my favorite cruising speed id 45-55 mph.
Its all about enjoying the day. Somedays can be faster than others though,hehehehe

Lake Hogan always does it the Saturday prior to the 4th for 2 reasons..
1. Expense. Its cheaper to have the FireDept on standby that weekend rather than the 4th, and cheaper for the pyrotechnics guys to be there then also.
2. Calaveras County is a small county and all the monies for the fireworks are raised or donated.
:):):)

[HCS]

I'll be at Verona on the Sacramento river. I'll be the guy in the
trailer parking putting my new bunks on my trailer.
My wife kid and freinds will be out boating.

The launch ramp is closed at Garcia Bend From Friday at 11:00 till the 5th.
