Re: Long Point info
 

Thanks Jon for taking the lead..
I just got off the phone with Long Point. They are booked
solid for March. Mid April is wide open though.
I also asked about clearence under the foot bridge it is 12 ft. As the boat ramp is on the North side.
There are several little Mom & Pop motels close to
Long Point which is just on the north side of Sebastian Inlet. Whatever we do, we need to act quick. I also contacted Jetty Park at Canaveral. The only downside is no in-water dockage for the boats. Peanut Island was discussed, but decided to much of a zoo for us ole'geezers. We are open to suggestions.
We would really like to accomadate our South Florida members
for this gathering. Capt Chuck and I also tossed around a meet in the upper Keys.....
Lets hear it :cool:

PS: I have already lined up a bunch of stuff for another
raffle to cover the cost of putting this thing-on.

See ya, Ken

Re: Long Point info
 

Longpoint is awsome!!!
It offers close access to some great fishing. The only down side, is at times, the no-see'ems will eat the flesh right off your bones. Jetty park can be a zoo, especially on weekends. I haven't been to one of the CSC "group" gatherings, but if your looking for waterside access to a boat, and decent camping/rv spots, you can't beat Longpoint.
If your looking for resonable dockside with a hotel, Dockside in in Ft Pierce is great, and you can usually get a group rate if you call them ahead of time.

Re: Long Point info
 

Any place sounds good to me as long as i can get the top of
my cooler dirty again those 250's run alot leaner on fish
blood. :D

Re: Long Point info
 

Can I get my T Top under 12'- never measured it????

Re: Long Point info
 

I think so...my 23' is under that. Would a SC boy be allowed to join in????? Some firm dates would help.

Re: Long Point info
 

If you are like me Dixon, 10'1" on the trailer clearence.

Should be no problem....
Ken

Re: Long Point info
 

come-on reelescape....
Come one, come all !!! Even our NE CSC members.
Should have firm dates within a week

See ya, Ken

Re: Long Point info
 

I'll be trailering from Western New York State - 1250 miles at 12.5 MPG=100 gallons. That's not as bad as a weekend with the 20.

The JONES should be bad enough by then.

Re: Long Point info
 

Hey Otto, that beats the crap out of trying to hand dig your way here. :rolleyes: See what the snow plow gets for
MPG towing. :o It may be better.......
See ya in April, Ken

Re: Long Point info
 

I have been on a 33' palmetto that fit under that bridge, and my boat fits fine, not even close. You just have to make sure your outriggers are in, and take the rods out of the top rod holders (don't ask :o).

Re: Long Point info
 

Ken, mid april sounds great as end of march is easter and I think spring break. lets go for it. the more the merrier.

Re: Long Point info
 

If Otto's trailering, then there's no excuses for anyone(Bigshrimpin, Strick :o)..........The word LEGENDARY comes to mind with this next one on the East Coast. We will get in the Fishing Mags this time. Way to go Skiblet on stepping up to help out planning this one................While we are at it, we should chip in to buy Ken some quality polarized glasses so he can avoid running up on another sandbar at the next gathering :o

Re: Long Point info
 

Did anyone lock in dates yet?

Re: Long Point info
 

I'm working on that as we speak.
I was on the phone with Long Point yesterday...
Either April 4 & 5 or April 11 & 12
They are supposed to get back to me today..
As soon as we firm it up you guys will know.
Shooting for 10 sites in a row.
Plus working on local motels within 5 miles of the park.

See ya, Ken

Re: Long Point info
 

Danny, You bringing the '23????????? :D

I will be there for sure!!!

Re: Long Point info
 

Brian-Yes, I will be there ;). I needed that kick in the butt, thanks :D. These gatherings force the issue! I will be there and will try to get my dad and his 18SF 140 Suzuki there as well as the high and dry 79 23SF sitting on her trailer over here in B'ton........

Re: Long Point info
 

Susan and I are in, just let us know what the procedure for getting the sites

Re: Long Point info
 

I usually stay at sites 40-70. They are a little deeper, and quieter. Also, they have a nice view of the water, and tend to have a few less noseemems and more of a breeze. Sites 1-30 can be rough when it comes to bugs!!! same for 100-113.

Here is a link to the park,
Longpoint Park
and here is a site map of the park

Re: Long Point info
 

DO NOT DELAY !!!!!!!
CALL LONGPOINT NOW----
I just reserved site 77 for April 11 & 12
They would not do a bulk reservation. As John said those premo sites are open right now for that weekend.
I spoke to Robert he will be there till 9:00pm tonight.
Call them and make your reservation NOW!!!!!!
321-952-4532

Do not be left out. They fill up fast!!!!

For those that need a motel, this little place is nice.
although not on the water it is on A1A 4 miles from Long Point. Call them ASAP It is a clean Mom & Pop, I have stayed
there several times. I will try to find a few more motels
close by and post them. Floridana Beach

See ya, Ken

Re: Long Point info
 

Great info ... thanks Ken.
I'm in for #76 ...

This is going to be a great time for all!!!!

Re: Long Point info
 

Me and my dad have site #78
I can't wait!!!
-Emily

Re: Long Point info
 

:) :) :)

Lets fill the park with SeaCrafts !!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Long Point info
 

I just reserved #81 tonight. Robert said it is big enough to have two boats park. If anyone wants to share the space let me know. Space #80 is still available in between the other CSC members. According to him #'s 76, 77, 78, 79, and 81 are CSC people.

Re: Long Point info
 

I am marking my calender and this is my targeted splash date for my 23 Sceptre.

Re: Long Point info
 

I'm planning to come and just anchor out and stay on boat again as at Ft. Desoto. I presume all I'll need is a day pass and pay ramp fee. Denny

Re: Long Point info
 

I committed to a Long Point slip for April 11 & 12 from 1200 miles and 5 months in advance.

Let's see - should I bring the all original 1970 Seafari with 150 original hours? No - the motor is seized and the transom needs work. Or the terrific classic 20CC with the cute little 85 Evinrude? Maybe, after a lower unit reconditioning. Or the 4 years in the works 23 CC that has no wiring, no console, no t-top. Wait, you need a motor, right. I've got one of those somewhere. It has a trailer and I'm pretty sure it floats, so, what the heck - I'm in. :D Besides, Strick is flying here to help my fix one - or three...

Re: Long Point info
 

Ken if 80 is gone which # next, I'm calling in the morning

Re: Long Point info
 

Just go with the next sequential site number,
whether it be up or down.

I think this CSC gathering is gonna be "BIG" !!
Whata' you think?

The count down has begun

See ya, Ken

PS: Just an after thought, many of the RV places rent
motorhomes. This way those that do not want to tent camp or stay in a motel could rent an RV and stay at the campground
with the rest of us......... :D

Re: Long Point info
 

Dixon

Go for the lower numbers 75,74,73 etc. These are better than the ones in the cove as far as bugs go. Also I believe the pavillion will be closer to the lower #s.

Bushwacker some of the sites have room for two boats to beach.

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

Longpoint has some interesting rules.
They allow one tent or RV per site, if you have more, they charge more. Some sites, you can fit 2 boats in, easily, so if your staying on the boat, they don't really seem to care. They have a trailer/car storage area, so you can ditch the trailer there. When I stay on the boat, I usually just get an "additional car" pass for a site where someone I know is staying, and stay on the boat.
Skiblet is right, if you can, you want to try and get the lower number ones in the 70's or 60's.

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

I renamed this thread so our folks who may want to come, realize that after 3 days of this thread and less than 24 hours picking camp sites-WE ALREADY HAVE SITES 75-82? FILLED! We really need to get more motivated people:D.I just spoke with Kim @ Long Point Park this AM. I reserved #75, next to Carla and Skip. as said before by JohnB and Skiblet from local knowledge, start filling in the lower #'s for less bugs and being closer to the pavillion.

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

I have #74 next to snookerd

question, mapquest sends me north all the way to 528 but 192 through St Cloud sure is a more direct route, how bad is that through there

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

Ok Boys & Girls,
For those that want to have a motel with dockage
call these people. right now they are about 80% booked for
April 11 & 12.
They are on the mainland side off US-1 about 3.5 miles
by water to Long Point Park. Again do not put off making
your reservations here as well. Sportsman's Motel & Marina

I will continue searching for additional locations...

I have not contacted these people, but 6.5 miles
North of the Inlet / 5.5 miles to Long Point on the
Ocean. Looks like a nice place.

Surf Caster Motel


See ya, Ken

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

There is also Hirams, about the same distance, on the mainland.

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

I am in. Otto, I am psyched you are coming. Is 1200 miles going to be a record????????? This is going to be of epic proportions. Kimberlee, Jack and I will be bringing the 23' behing the mighty Volvo. Thanks heavens for the extended warranty!

We have site #71. GET ON THE BALL AND MAKE YOUR RESERVATION!!! Hello Trayder? U coming????? [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

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

Dixon, your lucky it doesn't direct you to Jacksonville. Danny works for Mapquest part time and when he found out your were going to be his bunk mate......well the rest is history :eek: [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

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

At least he doesn't work part time teaching the art of throwing a cast net :D You may have a point, he had the site next to me last weekend and none of his family would come :D

I think I'll come through on 192 much shorter looking.

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

Dixon and Capt. Chuck- :D :D :D :o :o :o :o It wasn't Al Gore, I actually invented the internet, and then Mapquest afterwards, sorry for the reroute Dixon :rolleyes:......... [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]EggSuckinDog is all bark, with no bite. Contrary to the rest of the Wood family boycott to last weekend's great event, being next to Dixon and "the Martha Stewart of Boating" would have been all good. Well......, just don't bring unsplit oak firewood to burn next time......... :o I needed a little help from "Jose Wejebe" AKA ESD, on that 12 foot cast net throwing. Thanks for the lesson. ARE WE A LITTLE FIRED UP????

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

Thats OK Danny :D

I will let you run my boat to avoid any unforseen sand bars.
If you will let me throw the net... :rolleyes:
I think we are all fired-up and there is 5 months to GO !

See ya, Ken
