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

I forgot to add to my list of items I will be bringing to the gathering, some "dessert" for after dinner enjoyment. I just received my twice a year SeaCraft gathering delivery of "apple pie", and for a change of pace, "candy cane" shine.

Is there any kind of general plan for gathering meals? Anyone care to summarize? Julie and I are trying to figure out what to bring.

Depending on the weather it will be either fried fish or hot dogs... Actually, there are so many stores nearby that needs can easily be shoppes for on location. Nothing like Cayo Costa that required a 2o minute boat ride and a 12 mile trek on a donkey.

Hot dogs??? Like the big giant ones from Costco? Now we're talking.

Dave, here is what I think I know might be happening (*) -
- Thursday Night "Spear Tribe" Captain's Meeting 7:00 PM - Zig-Zag Scallop - 4417 Calienta St. Hernando Beach, Fl. (Spring Hill)
- Friday Night "Poseidon's Apprentice" Capitan's Meeting 7:00 PM - the Freezer - 5590 S. Boulvard Drive Homasassa, Fl. (600' SE of MacRae's)
- Saturday Night "West Coast Fl. Fall Gathering" Fish Fry and Stone Crab Boil - 6:00 PM MacRae's
Note - several CSC "hitch-hikers" for various and sundry reasons : 1) Vezo II, 2) Bumpdraft and 3) Marshtackie. Remember "SCS Lives Matter", we don't want no mo' Ottis Redding "Sitting on the dock in the bay" songs writ down! So give a boy a ride!
Dave, Get Julie to come up with something that goes good with fish for Saturday night. Marsha has the Cole Slaw covered. I have a Push Boat number for you to scout out, but don't dive it without a cable gun - always has a couple of big cobias on it, bro'. Hang on!

A couple more items Deb and I will bring for Saturday evening's fish dry. We will bring Chinet plates, bowls, plastic cups, some paper towels and plastic knives/forks/spoons, not the cheap white ones, the clear plastic...only the best disposable utensils for the CSC folks.

I would not be to sure about "Day Tripper" Danny..
Always finds an excuse, I got in a wreck, my oldest son has a polo game,
my daughter has a wrestling match the next day, my middle son has a karate tournament ...........

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

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.

You do realize that in the Homosassa to Steinhatcheee stretch, the Gulf deepens about 1' for every mile you travel offshore. So to troll a Stretch 25 or 30 in 55 feet of water is quite a ride to get there!

Seriously, you pick up gags in 20'-40' off Crystal River, straight out from the power plant. There's a trough there that I used to fish. If you have good sonar mapping charts, look at the bathymetric lines to find it, about 12 miles out.
No, I don't give out numbers.
