Agree 100%. Jobbie ain't worth the hassle. But we never miss the raft off. That being said, if you're going to travel all that way it's worth seeing once. But on Saturday I'd be over at muscamoot, the day after jobbie is usually pretty busy.

Well, that pretty much cleared up any questions I had.... :)

Absolutely AWESOME!!!

^^^^^ This, so gross.

After going a couple times, the only way I would go to Jobbie again....would be as a passenger on somebody else's boat. Its just not worth the hassle to spend a day wading through the pi$$ and Sh*t water just to see some (+)(+) 's

Villain30, the best place for you to launch would be at the 9 mile launch ramp. It is a good ramp and the concrete is long enough for you. I saw a 43 Scarab launch there once. The ramp pass is $10.00 a day. Here is the link to the St Clair Shores Launch ramp info:

Good local restaurants on the water are Browine's and Mikes on the water. The Tin Fish is spotty and I have heard of people getting sick from their food. There is also Captain Jacks, but they only have a couple wells. Brownies is having a Jobbie after party and that will be the place to be. Bring plenty of bumpers because you'll have to tie up next to someone. Another good restaurant that is whiten walking distance of Emerald City is Waves. Waves is just across Jefferson Ave from the entrance to the Marine.

There's also Bumpers Landing, Crews inn, Luna Kia, Gino's surf, Mac Rays, and a few more lol. Good luck going to Brownies after nooner, I wouldn't even attemp that if you like your boat at all. I personally like Bumpers Landing with the new docks and new tiki bar. Stay safe!

heres some info for those dont know what is a jobbie and what is a nooner. years ago a contract designer was called a jobbie, because they were paid by a job shop or contract shop. jobbies usually worked a the big three...
a nooner was when a jobbie split at noon, and got paid for the entire day. the jobbie nooner was started yrs ago by a couple jobbies.
lee & lee.........
i havent been to any job nooners in some years. but i have been yrs ago, back when they were in goose or fisher bay.

It's still called Jobbie Nooner because "juiced up douchers and skanks from Ready Ave. trailer park in borrowed runabouts" just doesn't have the same ring to it..... :lolhit:
