Shogun probably had a brawl. 95 degrees in there. Below average service. Below average "show" way above average price
People tend to get pissy

they start off pissed.
last time we went, 730pm reservations, finally sat down at 9pm after a few conversations with the manager. This was Oct 2019, and we are never going back.

Had the same experience, never again will I set foot in that place.

We got in on Thursday and won’t be launching until tomorrow. Too many yahoos over the weekends for us. Could be a sign of getting old.

We had dinner at Shogun an hour ago. We saw 3 individual patrol cars (at separate spots) on Sawnson between the restaurant and Acoma. 2 of them we’re off to the side (simi concealed) sitting there watching. Looks like it’s a maximum deployment period.

The Marina was at capacity yesterday and the lake was crowded so I am not sure about fewer people. Every little cove I looked at was taken so the water was busy. Went to the channel last night at 2200 at there is definitely a different crowd out here now. The government money needs to run out and flush some of the trash out of here.

I completely agree. Ghetto is Ghetto

Respect has disappeared!
I am at the Carlsbad beach, wife and I put up the volleyball net on the court we were married on (know the hone owners above court). Group of kids started playing, but then grabbed the net and broke it. They all walked away without a word. Wife and I were on the patio of the Robinson House and yelled WTF. Kids yelled back not our so we don’t care. CFD asked us not to put up the net to avoid conflict.

CFD stated, first time in 40 years they have asked the family not to install the net due to crowd behavior
We have watched cities burned and looted unabated for the last two years. What can expect?

I normally would avoid the channel on a holiday weekend but had friends wanting to meet there....we were in the water at 315 am yesterday...

I went to sleep down below...woke up around 6 to these guys...5 slots blocked full DJ setup and no one to be found they showed up briefly and left (we had to push their ski off my boat more than once since they couldn’t each right 🙄😡.

They left early and were gone 4-5 hours showing back up at 2ish...got to watch some fireworks as the older gentleman (pronounced asshole) from Colorado yelled at people to move who has Set up on the beach behind his tents/ropes.

This shit irks my ass...he had 50ft of beach blocked off for half the day and wasn’t even there. I hate the channel and all this stimulus trash...
1st picture I threw that ezup frame up over the wall since nobody was there the whole time I was relaxing with a beer down there. I was pissed about all the abandoned ezup's

Oh please, isn’t a cook at your table Teppan place?
Yeah, no. This is a small town in the middle of BFE, not a place French Laundry type of chefs reside.
.
I'm not what you'd call a finicky foodie in the least however I have left this place less than impressed on more than one occasion. It is not the first place I suggest or even think about when choosing a restaurant.

this is why I stayed up in Mohave. Bring your own party, find a cove and have some fun ;)

I would venture into LHC and Parker a couple of times a year though.

LHC=Mosh pit

lol

Yeah, you haven’t been to your old hangout in the last couple of years. It’s really a shitshow on holiday weekends.

Memorial day was focked up. Price of gas and California beaches opening up must thin out the herd.
I agree with Memorial Day being brutal. Everyone in my crew said the same thing. Super mellow for a holiday

This is my age group so I’m used to this shit. You guys always wondered what was wrong with vicious13. Well he was the one getting into bar brawls every weekend. None of this surprises me I’m just surprised it took this long.

They just have enough money to drive 300 miles to get into bar fights now :)

Had some friends up and we got 16 seated around 4:00 yesterday in Shoguns.
Have always had a good time there, decent food just adjust your expectations when going out on a holiday.
Our cook "rice rice babby" said there was 2 guys that threw down at the bar and some chicks pulling hair. Guess we didn't miss much

I miss the old days when most not all but Most boaters respected each other, helped each other and when out on the town most folks had smiles on their faces after a great day of boating and waiting get some good grub and laughs. Now we keep our heads on a swivel to make sure some idiot is not going to get out of control and if so what our quick reaction is going to be....sad...the entire river has been riddled with disrespectful visitors. We NEVER go out on our toys during a holiday weekend just to avoid all the bullshit, we just sit and watch all the crap.

Bhc and lake Mohave was awesome this weekend. Small crowd and no drama. I’ll post pictures and videos later I’m waxing the boat getting ready to go home.

Stop advertising!

Mohave sucks. Everybody needs to go somewhere else.

Actually, we did find Mohave to be a little rougher this year. Heard about a couple of conflicts and people getting into it. Since Mead is so low, the Vegas trash are coming down onto Mohave and starting shit.

While we are NOT in Havasu, I would have thought yesterday (Sunday) would have been loaded with wake boats and a-hole people all showing their ignorance and stupidity-My mind was prepared for the worst, We launched early, 8am and we were the only ones on the dock (keep in mind, this is not the main marina) I was a bit taken back as there was no one on the lake, The whole day was peaceful, relaxing and the boaters were all being good little boys. A jet or two would scoot on buy and a wake boater would be pulling their kids but it was really pleasant, Getting off the water was just as easy, a few paddle boarders here and there but again, the place was empty. Odd but perfect (Lucky Peak, Idaho)

Won't be long before we move our boat up. Just can't find enclosed storage yet.

We will nary make a wake with ours.

Shoguns over rated and over priced.
havasu on big weekends is over rated and over my patience meter.

I can’t find a teppan restaurant cheaper than Shoguns in CA. My local one kicks ass but is 20% more. I like that the portions are good sized and they don’t up charge you for fried rice or sharing a plate.,


I do stick with the chicken and steak though, and don’t get sushi there. Smiths has the best sushi in town :)

I never expect greatness out of my dining experience in Havasu.

Around 2008Havasu had a different crowd show up. I remember a full gang detail in uniform from Phoenix patrolling the channel. in the coming years that crowd was gone. About 3 years ago I could see the crowd changing again. Let’s hope the place settles down.
2008/09 was the start of things slowing down. I was younger but noticed a type of crowd had disappeared at the river and at the desert. If you had a job and toys the river and desert from 09 to about 17 was a lot of fun. Not to crowded and those people that were there presented themselves well.
I think this round will be worse than before with the social media influences. Exposes a lot of stuff most people wouldn't know about and wipes out those destinations. Like Horseshoe bend. 10 years ago it was a challenge finding where to pull off the highway to hike across. Now you have to pay $20 and deal with a bunch of signs for the privilege to hike to the cliff, which has a handrail now.

Have not been to Shoguns in years. I hear you about Havasu. Headed South at 3:00 in the afternoon and went to the Springs. It was awesome down there. Came back a little after 8:00 and Thompson Bay was a shit show. Weaved our way through boats and people floating in the water to get back to the marina.

At 11:00 pm I could still see a traffic jam of people trying to get off the island from our backyard. That nixed our plans of heading to the channel late with our dogs.

Hopefully the crowds will start to thin today and be pretty much gone by tomorrow.

I went to Benihanas in Vegas with a buzz once and the cook guy flipped the butter up in the air and yelled Look at the butterfly!!! That struck me funny and was laughing like a school girl for about 10 minutes. :p
