Not sure if it's gospel but Sportsman says their dock will accept up to 21' boats.

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going
 

I thought we were reserving docks - and they said "we don't have any docks" So I asked: so where are all these SeaCraft people putting their boats? "They are campsites - what do you have, an RV or a trailer?" I replied: A Suburban with a mattress, I guess... So where do I put the boat? "How big is your boat?" 23 feet. "Oh that's a big one!" I said all these boats are either 20 or 23 feet. Is this LongPoint? "You pull your boat up to the camp site"

It never occurred to me. So, let me get this strait, I drive 1317 miles (about 20 hours 35 minutes) towing a 5000 pound package and I have to put a $2,000 bottom job on the beach for 2 days and sleep in the back of my truck? Next you're going to tell me about humidity, bugs and freakin jelly fish, not to mention sun burning my butt that won't have seen the light of day in 6 months.

Anything else I should know? I'll be in "slip" 84...

Snow? or Jellyfish? Frostbite? or Sunburn? Hummmmm...
Do not forget the No-see-ums these little "Pacmen" of the
insect world will bite you till you bleed. :eek:
The mosquito's will have not reached maturity by April,
so there bite will not make you scratch as much. They will
just buzz your ears while you are trying to sleep. :rolleyes:
Otto, you better get vaccinated to avoid malaria and diphtheria. Oh yeah do not forget to bring bottled water as drinking the saltwater will make you delirious and
become disoriented. All in all sooner or later
we will become civilized down here in the south.

Just go to Wally World and buy a $40 tent and bug spray.

Thank God the event will only be two days in the wild.

The nearest hospital is miles and miles away. A first aid kit will not be much help because it does not come with
penicillin or morphine..........

Hope this helps, we will have good time if we live through it. :o :o :o

See ya, Ken

You forgot about the snakes the size of logs,
raccoons as big as wolves and meaner,
red tide that will take your breath away
and fire ants that will clear the flesh from your bones.
Other than that, it's paradise.

You'll be fine Otto we have 5 months, do you have a tanning salon nearby? that could help the transition to the tropic's from the Artic Circle. :D

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going
 

OK! Gail and I are in!!! I reserved # 70 today.

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going
 

UPDATE

Spoke to Carol at Long Point this AM
The sites we are trying to block are fast going away.
Site 69,80,83,86,& 87 are left. They still have other sites that are not on the point.

See ya, Ken

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going
 

I have had several phone calls and emails from CSC members
and non members. They have taken all but two of the sites
that were left on Friday. According to one person, Long Point said site #83 is not real good for a boat. We can always saddle up on one of the others members sites. We basically have the whole point. Just by what has been reserved in campsites alone times 3 people (average per site) equals approx. 60 people !! :cool:


One other side note, I contacted Ship Shape TV.
They informed me that although the 2008 schedule is already
filled that they may make a concession. :)
"The G man" is to get with me next week after Thanksgiving.
Now this would be the bomb if we could convince him to do a
show there.

Plus I'm still working on the raffle. If any of you have contacts with any Marine people that may want to contribute to this worthy cause, get with me. Probably will not
start it until the first of the year.......

Lets keep it rolling.

See ya, Ken

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going
 

At this point, it is tough for me to schedule that far out.
In any case I will try to stop by Sat night. If the weather is good, and the schedule frees up, I will try to drag the boat down. At worst case, I can "double up" next to another CSC boat, as long as you let the Tracker guys in.

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going
 

John-We have some initiation activities involving eating a ripe ballyhoo bait, but it's all down hill after that..... ;) My 18SF Tracker fit right in at Anclote and with Four Boat Theory bring his Tracker 23SF, you will part of the "in" crowd.

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going
 

It would be nice to have another sceptre there ,Ken's been more worried about working on a house than a boat.

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going
 

That was a Tracker :mad: I had no idea [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Guys we own the point apparently, if you look at the Desoto pic's we owned that too, we could have put another 20 boats along there so we will manage.

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going
 

S

Sam,

You don't get my brand of humor, but at least I'm making the effort to show up. I think it's about time you man-up and get your lazy butt to one of these gatherings. We would be honored with your presence and hope you can bring meemaw and peepaw as well. I will have room at the site I've paid for and invite you as my guest. Free beer. Do you have a sister?

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going
 

Easy, Mr. "Master Angler" :o As a recent student at the University of Florida said "Don't Tase me Bro.....!!!" :eek: :eek:It was a great 18SF, brother..........

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going
 

Robert informed me that #81 is good for two boats. So let me know if you need a spot. Also, we will be staying on the boat most likely and will have the site for anyone that needs it to.

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going
 

Todd thats great, we may use your site for any lost sole
or set up tables for a group area...

Ken

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going
 

hey guys,my girl and i are going to go. wanting to know what site is left if somebody is keeping a running tab. i used to go to long point when i was a kid 15 plus years ago. clams are all around that place thick. my dad and mom would go claming for hours.

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going
 

Bryan, glad to have ya join the party..
Call the park and ask them what they have left on or near the point. 321-952-4532

See ya, Ken

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going fast
 

Although my posting is 'new', I purchased a Master Angler through the website and have completely restored her to her 1975 glory...with the help of the website from the sidelines.
The Sportsman's Motel is a top notch place...very clean, owner on-site and all new dock w/ plenty of water.
I also do technical writing for Coastal Angler Magazine and will speak to the editor about coverage and a feature article.
We will be there! 1975 Master Angler.

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going fast

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going fast
 

Hummm, this park may not be big enough. :eek:

5 months to go and no doubt we are already over 75 people
coming..... :cool:

Hey all you guys up north, come on and join a sure thing!
You will be ready for a break from snow and ice by that time
for sure. ;)

There is alot still in the works. Glad to have more new
members jumping in.

One cool thing is Snook season will be open and Sebastian
is prime time Snook country. Also the Manta Rays should still be roaming the beach and have Cobia on them as well.

See ya, Ken

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going
 

What gear do i need to bring to fish for Snook and Cobia? Yankees don't know nuttin bout dem kinda fish.

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going
 

Medium spinners, 12 - 20 pound class is usually what we use. If your working the inlet or around structure, you might want to go a little heavier. If your offshore/off the beach, there isn't anything for them to swim into.

Great Pix Bones. Boy am I glad I moved from New Jersey in 1998. Best decision of my life. All you North of the Mason Dixon line listen up......c'mon down and enjoy a little southern hospitality, SeaCraft style. Mahi Mahi on the grill, Jumbo shrimp in the Steamer, Deep fried turkey, hot young women in bikini's........make your reservation today.

YOU ARE NOT GETTING ANY YOUNGER! GET OFF YOUR LAZY ASS AND MAKE THE RESERVATION AT LONG POINT. Otherwise just go ahead and pick up the .357 while you contemplate :D freezing your butt off for 6 months.

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going
 

Long Point / Sebastian Inlet

This one is cool! Try it, you will like it :D

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going
 

This is going to be the "Gucci" collection of SeaCrafts!

For those not committed just yet, I know the feeling... planning something 5 months away?

That was before I went to my first gathering...Anclote.
Now, it's "There's another gathering? when, where?" And I just clear out my calendar. IT IS SO WORTH IT!

Still thinking? Just call the number, make a reservation then mark it on your calendar. There's a guarantee you'll have fun ... and then you too will be asking when the next gathering is going to be!

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going
 

I would really love to make it but it won't happen this time. Our 9 month old daughter will be expecting her new sibling about 2 weeks after the meeting!
I will have to look foreward to the 09' trip.
Donnie

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going
 

Donnie, about two weeks before the Mrs. due date,
feed her a great big bowl of Mac & Cheese !! :eek:
You will make the gathering with time to spare. :rolleyes:

Good luck with the new addition !!!'

Man I'm glad all I have now is grand kids
and 2 cats & a dog!!!
(Patti picked up a stray last Sunday :()

See ya, Ken

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going
 

Well let`s see, I DID just rewire the trailer w/ led lights and put on some new hubs/bearings/ seals etc. Get an impact driver for that. 1/2 turns w/ a breaker bar = 3 hrs.

Maybe I could load up the new livewell w/ pinfish and make an early run up for the day.

For my Yankee friends. If you gaff a big Cobia, you must get it in the box in 1 shot. They will break any and all tackle they get close to. Legs too.
30# conventional on a long rod w/ a fast tip for casting is ideal.
Avet lx7 on a Chaos 7`kf 15-50 will cast like a bandit.
Spinners w/ braid are good for snook. Snook are devils at cutting you off near any structure. Horse m hard. [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going
 

Pulled carbs off 1 of my motors on Sat. Briguy stopped by and we worked on cleaning up the 23 and went over the game plan to get the 23SF launched prior to Long Point

Otto,
The Seacraft would probably leave in the divorce......
