MacRae's of Homosassa Springs on November (5)-6-7-8th, 2015

[Blue_Heron]

Thanks, guys. Very helpful for planning purposes.

I won't be bringing dive gear, but I'd like to go out and drag a couple stretch 30s around on Saturday if someone has numbers that are good for that. Maybe drop a hook and see if the Groupah are interested in a pinfish or two. 30'-55' depth preferably. I will probably have room in my boat for two others if anyone's interested. I will have rods and tackle.

All kidding aside I will try to get some shrimps to steam & chips and dip!

Mr. No Bones.......Admiral Snookerd is NOT AMUSED!

You are on to my diabolical plan to T-bone an illegal Mexican immigrant last gathering at 35 mph and pay for hotel rooms in Sebastian just to be sure everyone thinks I'm going to be there! Secretly, we all know that the gathering was doomed due to double booking with Mother's day!! With my plan executing perfectly, I then could still arrive in time for Mother's Day at Mrs. Snookerd's doorstep just in time! ....but I digress!

Wife says she's making veggie plate and macaroni and cheese. Maybe some banana pudding.

A fabulous time seeing old friends and making new ones....

and feasting on unlimited shrimp, claws, fish of all sorts ... PLUS all the side fixins!
Here's some pictures of the great time ...

We had a great time. It was good to see the familiar faces and also to meet some new folks. The food was plentiful and excellent, as always. Looking forward to the next one.

As always, great COMRADERY, great food, GOOD times !!

The feast that was put together by all that attended exceeded
every gathering that we have had in the past...

What more can be said, tons of fresh fried grouper & snapper, steamed stone crab claws, steamed shrimp and salads !!!

All caught fresh and prepaired flawlessly !!

To those that did not attend, you missed out !

Best guess there were about 35 people that came and enjoyed!

To Tom Parris, what happened ? You did a hit and run

I had the Yeti mug decals for you......
You are already a clan memeber !
Please do not be shy, walk up like you own the place and say HI !!

We are only strangers till there is a hand shake...

On to the spring gathering we GO !!

PS: To our northern friends, temps were in the upper 80's in November !!

Enough of the once upon a time.

What a back water.

Mind your red and green here folks.

The Heron input the data. We followed that data. We had live pinfish.
First stop.
Red grouper. Short and out of season.
We fed many fish and rocks.
A donkey almost took me out of the boat.
What an incredible property.
A ramp, a bar, a ship store, a cool log cabin, a gas dock, and shoot me now.
I`m home. What a wonderful part of the state.
The Freezer.

Friday night we found a place with no sign.
Heard the food was good.

"Mind your red and green here folks"

GFS you are so correct!! At the docks at MacRaes the red/green marker numbers were in the 80s, to get to the end of the Halls River where you can see open water your markers numbers are in the 20s and there is not a straight line from marker to marker over 1/4 mile!

Reminds me of the "E ticket" rides!

What a great time. It's great to see our little piece of SeaCraft paradise at a great new location. No accidents this time! Driving the Skyway with boat in tow at 10:30 Sat pm was a piece of cake! I was about to "sleep drive" a few times, though. Amazing food, and friends old and new! Don-The candy cane was great! I was talking with Jenan on the way home....I said to her how cool it is that a bunch of guys that began appreciating these boats or in Carla's case grew up with her Dad building these boats enjoy them still after 30-50 years! And how cool it is that we can connect with other SeaCraft addicted friends through Jason's/ Trayder's web site (CSC.com)created over 13 yrs ago! Life is good! Thank you to each one of you for putting the fun in our dis"fun"ctional family. Any and all similarities to gofastsandman are purely coincidental.
