There’s bonfires on beaches in northern and Southern California, there’s also waves and good looking women. Do you follow?
Something we can all agree on

There's also bonfires on beaches on lakes and lakes have waves. It read as if you were saying oceans had them but not lakes.

Always the Atlantic. Unfortunately I’ve never been out west. I’m dying to go, though.

Love both for different reasons. The few times I’ve been to Miami or Ft lauderdale were awesome. If and when you do decide to go out west to a beach, I highly suggest Venice, Manhattan, or Huntington Beach for LA, in SF, ocean beach is okay, I prefer driving down to Santa Cruz or if Ive got a weekend off I’ll drive to Big Sur. It’s pretty incredible.
All I know is if I’m ever out in Cali the weed is on you my friend SmokinSmile
Yea, depending on how low or high the water is, swimming and fishing can be a chore

Ocean definitely better than lakes. I grew up inland and have no problem swimming in lakes. But the beaches at the ocean as a whole are way better. Salt water makes the difference.
No waves here like in cali, but the waves today were 6-7 ft and supposed to be around 9 ft tomorrow because of a tropical storm sitting off the coast.
But this is what a normal day at Wrightsville Beach looks like.
Crystal clear water, sand instead of mud and the water temperature is 87 degrees right now. No ticks, chiggers or mosquitos either.
But, to each their own.

I’m going to be honest, I don’t feel like I can go back and reread so can somebody fill me in on why water moccasins were brought up
Schooner said that it all depends on the lakes and the oceans. He said he'd rather spend time on the lakes that I post than in the Texas gulf but would rather go to Hawaii beaches than southern lakes that have water moccasins.
I said that I'd hate lakes up here if they had poisonous snakes or alligators. There isn't anything remotely dangerous in lakes in Michigan/Wisconsin/Minnesota.
Ew. How do you gay up an AR? That takes work. I've seen pink painted Hello Kitty ARs that make that look manly.

If we are talking about what's prettier, there are plenty of comparable lakes.
But here are some things that make lakes awesome:
There is simply more to do on lakes because of smaller waves.
every ocean has snakes

i have lived near both, i love lakes and enjoy all the things you can do on them
other than fishing i have very little use for the ocean
the worst thing you got are Musky and Pike, thankfully they very very very rarely ever bite people
I have to admit that I never did enjoy the party coves. I’ve been to my fair share. Always felt trapped (didn’t own a boat) and the guy to girl ratio is like 3 to 1. Plus people tend to get angry and short tempered when they’re drinking out in the sunlight. Brings out the worst kind of behavior in a party environment.If we are talking about what's prettier, there are plenty of comparable lakes.

Never been to one. Just thought the picture looked cooler to what I personally prefer (which is a pontoon and beer with a handful of friends).
I think this is as good as thread as any. The wife and I were just debating on if a mullet can be beautiful. I say yes, she's a hard no.Watching last nights UFC fight and Michael Chisia is rocking one. I think it looks bad ass.
@schoonerwest what company do you work for? My good friend goes to Texas 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off. Liberty Oilfield Services.
I’m an independent contractor so I’m not with any actual company. I work for a broker who gets projects from a lot of different companies and people. He’s a 3rd generation Midland oil guy that knows a lot of people out here so we’re always busy. I also try and do stuff for myself. It’s a tough hustle but it can be pretty pretty nice when it actually works out.
Your friend moving out to West Texas? Doing rig work?
No he’s not gonna move there. He was in the Dakota’s during that rush 5 years ago and when that died down went to Texas. But since it’s 2 on 2 off he is able to come back home to his family every other couple days. He is making big bucks doing it and paying very little for housing. I think his mortgage back in my hometown is $500 a month for a 3 bedroom house and big yard. He probably pays for his mortgage in a day of work.
Smart move. A lot of those guys who work 2 weeks on 2 weeks off schedules don’t live in the area. If he were to relocate in the Midland-Odessa area he’d be looking at 3x that for a monthly mortgage.
Do you know where in Texas? There’s actually several plays in the state. The Permian is the biggest one but nearly every part of the state has production somewhere close by.
Actually just looked them up. Looks like they have a field office in Odessa. If he’s coming here then he’s probably going to the Delaware Basin which is about 75 miles west of there. It’s in the running for ugliest place in America, lol.
The testicle hitches are alive and well in KS. They are almost exclusively found on overly lifted trucks and some oversized rear window decal of cabelas, ducks unlimited, the make of their vehicle or something called mossy oaks. They are the few, the proud, the dolts that can’t stop saying git er done
