LOZ on TV

I didn’t think Party Cove was even that popular anymore, especially with all the new, fancy bars with big pools and beaches. Plus, that no wake zone to get to the Glaize is a drag. 

I remeber 3-5 years ago, it would be crazy. Seems like the last 2 years, you go by on a holiday weekend, and there is like 30-50 boats. That first big cove out of the no wake zone has more traffic.

I love it when StLToday makes me answer a survey question before I read. That’s some valuable data they’re collecting right there 😄

Really?  I don't experience that when I go there.

You must be in some old person demographic they are hitting up.  Or was it a question about deck stains?

I pick the second response every time regardless of the question.

So, isn't this what happens there all the time anyway? 

At Party Cove?  No, not at all, but for some reason they want everyone to think that.   

The reality of party cove is that a mix of people pull in there, tie up, and then nobody talks to anyone.  Why they want to anchor down in a crowded cove with 14 stereos all playing different music, to just chill with the folks in their own boat is a mystery.    Occasionally somebody will get into a fight because their wife showed her tits and her old man gets mad at everyone for looking, or somebody will fall off a boat and get hurt, but other than that it's about the most boring and annoying place to spend a day.

What a waste of time! The first response is so much closer 😄

I don’t Go in there to party, but the fishing in party cove is downright decent.

Back in the day I used to run service calls all over the lake for a boat rental outfit, and calls to PC were pretty common.  One time it was a "won't start" call and when I got there it was a forty-something guy all by himself, away from everyone else and just sitting there in the boat crying his eyes out.  Nice guy, trying his best to be polite, but obviously terribly upset about something and I guess concerned about being stranded.  The shifter was in gear so I pulled it back to neutral and the engine immediately fired right up.  As soon as the engine started the guy absolutely exploded with emotion.  Have you ever seen anyone cry so hard that tears sprayed out of his eyes like on a cartoon?   Well that's what this dude was doing. You couldn't get within 5 feet of him without getting wet.  He finally pulled himself together just enough to ask what he owed me, and at that point I was starting to tear up myself, so I choked out "awe man don't worry about it, the place you rented from takes care of me".  Well that was the wrong thing to say because that little display of customer service sent him completely over the edge. He bursted into tears again and at that point I couldn't hold it back anymore and tears started rolling down MY face.   I get back in my boat and start making my way back out through the maze of bikini's and drunks, I'm crying and the dude idling out behind me is crying.   I'm sure a bunch of people were wondering what the Sam hell went on back there.   😀

Thing is they crack down on them there then it moves to the Niangua River. Bad when some young chick is all over some old Guy just wanting to fish and not in her pond. 😝
