July 16-18th.
This is my wifes B-day and our anniverary weekend. We will be there. We got plans for the evenings, but during the day, we will be on the river and in the cove. We are gonna most likly launch out of the hotel by the cove. I dont konw the name. I want to launch down river so I dont have to worry about baffels. I wanna make a run down river a good 5 to 8 miles past Avi. There is some nice beaches and river there.
Who is gonna be there that weekend???

Dan,
Don't Think you won't get hasselled below the casino's! once you get around the bend, past the natrual gas bridge there is a bullhead sherriff that loves to give tickets. got warned when I ran my bro's eliminator down there. So when you go around the corner put alot of water thru them twisty bassett's until your halfway to the avi!!!! Have fun and happy aniversery!!!
Later BK

The past week Nevada Fish and Game has been hanging around River Bend. Don't F around from Big Bend State Park to the South ramp at Veterans Memorial.
Kinda bummed... fixed one exhaust gasket tonight, and have to replace one exhaust hose. The better half will be out of town the weekend of the 17th so I won't make it. :( Looks like I won't make it out again until CBBB.

Yep, seen em there many times and have been stopped and checked too. Once they were doing a training video and filmed the stop. The cop has always been cool with me but then I always run baffles in laughlin. My buddy got a ticket there for no baffles. This is the guy and this pic was taken just past the pipeline.

where at in bullhead.? we like to launch out of lazy harrys. good calm water and fewer lake lice there, and the ones that are there seem to know what they're doing. or at least they pretend in the harbor;)

hey baby, not so loud. do you want everyone to know the secret launch spots? :p
oh wait, last i heard, they are making lazy harry's launch ramp private to local residence only. :p hey, it was worth a try. :D

Ya, it's for locals only, and there's no place by that name around. There's PLENTY of room, and a nice wide ramp at the Arizona Memorial South Entrance off Riverview. Can't miss it. Or Big Bend on the Nevada side. Nice place. Try that, too. :D

I launched at Big Bend State Rec. Area last week it’s a nice place to launch. Fish a Game was hanging out just above the launch area. Also made the trip to Lazy Harry’s nice place real friendly atmosphere. The food and beer is reasonable. The water was pretty shallow when I was there stay in the middle.

If you go past the Lazy harrys and the memorial ramp there is a real nice place Rotory Park lots of parking nice ramp and its 3/4 of a mile from me so when you start I will know. So if you go past Marina Blvd headed south take a right at the circle K 76 gas station and just drive straight down the road past the stop sign and you will see it on the left.

That's the Memorial South entrance. Decent sheltered launch, only $5 resident day use fee, too. I can't walk home from there, so I use the North entrance. Sucked weeds twice over the 4th idling out to the river and damn near scattered the motor when I jumped on it. Be careful if you don't have a rev limiter!

So what's it going to be, where are you all going to be hanging out on Sat and Sun. Post some pics of your boats so I know what to look for. I'll be in this Jet and there will be a red and white 21' Ultra Stealth with me.

What's with your boat? I'm tired of seeing you on the water in other people's rides!

i think what danhercules meant was that he will be in his boat cruising along side me in "let's dance". believe me, dan is tired of being seen in other peoples rides aswell, and after all the work he's done to "passin gas" he wants to drive it all the time. im betting we will take a run down to park moabi, but as for the sand bar, that all depends on the water. thats a dangerous stretch on the weekends with all them other boats. i never get to enjoy the scenery when the water is that rough. hope to see ya there. be safe.

Will probably pass on putting my boat in due to the fact that it would only be for Sunday and I would still have to clean it, put it away, and drive home for work on Monday. May just hang with friends in their 27 Hallett on Sunday in Park Moabi channel.
