I have never met any of you guys but found my boat on this site when I bought it a little over a year ago.

I look forward to seeing all the boats and getting some ideas about how to tweak mine a bit while meeeting all you fine folks!

Re: Long Point info
 

Mike-
Come on down. Long Point is going to be rockin,especially with all the free beer :eek: :D

Re: Long Point info
 

I've been holding off, BUT seeing my old friend Otto and FREE BEER? With 85 other members? I don't think Part I is going to be able to miss this one! My hubs are still replaced and packed since the Anclote! Hoping to make it. Part II.

Re: Long Point info
 

87 !! :cool:

Re: Long Point info
 

After 5 beers I will be doing the cast net seminar, "How to Stun Them with the Lead" at 3 PM - don't miss it, bring a chair, that way you don't fall to far :D :D

Re: Long Point info
 

OUCH !

Re: Long Point info
 

your way too humble with your ability to throw a cast net Dixon! It will be a great time, especially with the infamous egggsuckindog on board!

Re: Long Point info
 

Dixon, I gotta admit I'm pretty good at throwing lead at mullet and other fish. It's getting fish inside the net that's my problem. Oh yeah, I just gotta remember to hang onto the leash, especially when casting at ballyhoo or cigar minnows in 40+ feet of water. I really, really hate having to dive in after my net :o

I can't free-dive 60-70 feet like I could 30 years ago. If I didn't have a 20' leash that floats, I would have lost my net twice already. :)

BTW, we can't stay, but hope to spend part of Saturday morning with y'all. Gotta be back home for a church service at 6 that evening, and it's a 4 hour drive to Sebastian.

Re: Long Point info
 

Fr FRank if you will notice the edit, in his moderator mode it was changed, actually pretty clever of him. Actually Danny is giving the "Stun them with a blob of lead" seminar :D The truth be known after watching twice with stunned little pinfish everywhere I took over and completed the bait aquistion without anymore endangerment to natures treasures :D

Re: Long Point info
 

:D :D Finally, after almost a week Dixon catches on...........hopefully he catches more than pinfish next time :eek: [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Long Point info
 

Stick to throwing chum, you did an excellent job by the way :D Although it will be sabiki's at Long Point so maybe a bit of practice is in order, I always get them in my arm but you can pull them right out with pliers so don't worry.

Re: Long Point info
 

Hopefully you can add another couple of folks to the list; I've contacted Long Point about a campsite for me & the wife. It will be great to meet you folks & see the boats. We are second owners of a 1977 20' CC all original and needs a little help, but the Yam 150 runs great. We are just moving (back) to FL from Southern California and my wife is eager to meet new people & see new things. Can't believe she's so into going camping on her birthday!! Got room for a couple of strangers?

-Jeff :D

Re: Long Point info
 

Alright Jeff !

Glad to have you join us....
Trust me your wife and kids will have plenty of company.

We are going to be over 100 people. WOW !!
Approx. 30 or more SeaCrafts. WOW!!

See ya there, Ken

Re: Long Point info
 

Newly single guy, 3 kids though!I think this trip will be without the little ones (9, 7, and 4yr olds). I would rather bring them down on a calmer weekend.

This is more of a dad gets a well deserved break weekend. I would also love to look over some of the other SeaCrafts and solicite some advice as to how to correct some issues with my current 20 SF.

I will have some cold coronas for sure!

I also hope to luck into a couple snook while I am there.

So to answer your question I may be alone, or with some buddies or with a female companion. I havent figured that out yet, but i can assure you I will have my boat, fishing gear, BEER, bait and a good attitude ready to have some fun!

SOS

Re: Long Point info
 

Your good SOS

Re: Long Point info
 

Jeff-
There is at least Briguy and myself heading over to Long Point with our families from the Bradenton area. Good to have you heading over.

Re: Long Point info
 

Thanks Snook & Bones, we are really looking forward to a good time, crackin' open a few cold ones & learning more about these old tubs. Mine is pretty basic & original, actually a little scary with the 150 Yamaha & the 20" transom... Are you bringing kids to the shindig? How old are they?

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

Unless the schedule monkey screws up my schedule, I will be at Longpoint with my boat. If anyone is coming in from out of town, or is boat less, and wants to fish, let me know.
I am licensed and tackled for 6 pack, but usually only take 4 out.

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

Re: Long Point info
 

Ledfoot- Yea, I'm bringing 3 kids- Corbin 9, Jonas 6, and Ansley 4. Briguy's son Jack is 3 I think. My kids were on a SeaCraft by the time they were 6 weeks old........ ;).

Re: Long Point info
 

Ok, were they conceived on a SeaCraft... :rolleyes:

These boats tend to excite more then just a mind rush.

See ya, Ken

Oh yeah, just grand kids for me, no young-uns'
coming with the Mrs. & myself...

Re: Long Point info
 

Watch out for those Sceptre guys.............. :eek: :eek:

Re: Long Point info
 

Dan, I love the new avatar pic.

Re: Long Point info
 

Thanks Frank. I am trying to make the pic a bit bigger and put it in my signature. Jupiter Lighthouse is the big symbol of growing up in Jupiter and the kids, well, they are my life outside of my SeaCraft

Re: Long Point info
 

Here is your Big brother lighthouse :eek:

Re: Long Point info
 

very cool Ken...............

Re: Long Point info
 

I grew up in Palm Beach, as well. Grandparents lived on Brazilian in Palm Beach, I grew up in Lake Worth and Palm Beach Gardens. I was the Dockmaster at Waterway Marina at PGA blvd and the ICW back in '83-'84, when Frank Brown was right across the street.

I learned to waterski in sight of that lighthouse. I've run in Jupiter Inlet in a 25' Robalo when it was 9-15' offshore and breaking 20' in the inlet 'cause we didn't have the fuel to ride the Nor'easter out, and knew an anchor wouldn't hold. I've also run out the mouth of the inlet when it was as smooth as a sheet of glass at over 70 mph in a 30' Velocity. I knew Jupiter well. I hav'nt been through it in 16 years.

I hope to see y'all at Long Point, though I can't stay the night.

Re: Long Point info
 

The only fuel you did have was the Parish Vino...running the inlet with a 25' Robalo breaking 20' ....who you bullchiting Father :eek:
