Channel Pointers
 

Yep, Vezo II needs take Lucy to the SPCA and git one on them AKC Channel Pointers, if he keeps runnin' around like that. It's a good thing those Whalers are unsinkable! I think they breed them up in the "Hatch" (Steinhatchee). Of course Lucy is getting to be a pretty good Bean Bag Retriever after last year at Sebastian with Mel.

Homasassa scouting trip
 

We ran out of Bayport on Saturday to see if we could get a "read" on the conditions in couple of weeks at the Gathering. Ran to the crane off of Aripeka then 12 miles north to somewhere off of the Chaz., just south of Homasassa. 79.8 degree water temperature top to bottom. 1-2' seas and had top to bottom vizibility in 25' and 40' horizonally in 50' of water. Gag's still a little scarce but plenty of Hogs and Mangos. Forgot to look for Stone Crabs. Guess I'd better go back out this weekend and look for them. Keep your fingers, toes and eyes crosssed the weather continues to stay nice and sunny until November 8th - I'll be awesome for the West Coast Gathering.

PS, Wendy still has a couple of rooms she's holding for us until the 15th.

Brrr... 79.8 degree water..:eek:

Minimum is 85 for me.. I only have 30 weight blood being a native cracker
an all !! Now those northern boys that flow 90 weight blood can probably
take it a whole lot better !

Swamp date and I are really looking forward to this second honeymoon
get away ! :cool::D

Unfortunately I will not be in attendance. My assistance has been requested to move an old friend from Atlanta to Brooklyn. I hope everyone enjoys the new Rendevoux location as much as myself and the Whaler owners have in the past. One last recommendation: Someone take responsibility for enough firewood for four nights. The fire pits are 30 feet from every front door.

In April 2014, I hid my iPad from myself so well that when I arrived in NYC for my Prostate removal, I used the Find My ipad app, and sure enough GPS located it in room 12, MacRae's, Homosassa, Fla.. One call, and it was UPS'ed to me. Owners just as nice as our hosts in Sebastian.

Hope everyone has a blast!

Vezo Part II

Travel safely, Michael - You and Lucy will be missed.
See you at Brian's Place or Zig Zag Scallop

Thanks Terry. Have not been to HB since Sebastian gathering! But I gotta help a friend out.

Brian's rocks. Can only afford once a month haha

I remember the Halloween gathering at Desoto. Brr is right.
Do you need a stamp for stone crab?

No, just a Wooden Hammerfore.
