S.Fla Seacraft Owners Fishing Tournament

[captj2]

Jim,

I am interested in going south. Moving the date sounds like the right thing to do. I need help with lodging, launching and where to store the trailer. Do you have any advice?

You can launch from Matheson Hammock Marina, Coral Gables or Black Point or Homestead Bayfront Park in Homestead . You can leave the trailer at any of them overnight while you are boating.

Black Point or Bayfront park are closer to Elloit but I would suggest Matheson Hammock which is about a 30. min. run to Elliot.. http://www.miamidade.gov/parks/Parks...son_marina.asp

I would suggest reservations at the Quality Inn South Kendall. 14501 S. Dixie Hwy. Miami - It's on US1, easy to find and is the closest one to Matheson Hammock with good restaurants, shopping and two marine stores nearby. Rooms for 2 - 4 are $87.00 - $97.00. I don't have a number for reservations but you can call any of the booking services. I can recomend other motels if you prefer.
You can find directions on the internet using MapQuest

If you will be arriving before 06/17, you can drop the boat/ trailer at my house which is about 5 miles from the motel, before and after the event..

i am still interested in the tournament. although i don’t do much trolling, mainly bottom fishing for me. June 17 would be better for me because it would give me more time to find a mate.
let me know which day so i can make arrangements with work as well. Thanks

Looks like June 17. I can give you numbers on several wrecks off Elliot if you want to live bait. I always leave at least one on the surface for Sails. You never know.

Capt. Jim, thanks for taking over, it looks like Noahsark is out for a while and I've been away for the last 3 weeks, Chile, Peru and Ecuador this time. I won't be here for the 17th but I can help with the groceries or other things this week. I can purchase at the Homestead ARB BX and BJ's so let me know what I can help with. I may be here next week but I won't know until Friday but if I am I can also help out until the 15th.

Thanks for the offer to help. We have 3 boats committed so far and time is short. There doesn't seem to be much interest in fishing but it's a great opportunity to meet other SeaCraft owners and compare boats.

I'm wondering if we would get more participation if we dropped the fishing and made it a family SeaCraft gathering instead. Let's see how many we can get if we make it a Bar-B-Que at 1:00. It would be a more relaxing day and easier for famlies to participate. I will start a new thread for the Bar-B-que and see if we have any interest.

Sorry I have been out of touch fellas, things have just been really crazy and my health situations hasnt helped any. It's pretty obvious that as much as I wanted this tourny to happen its just not possible at this time due to my condition. Jim thanks for picking up the ball and running with it, hopefully you guys can can still get together even if its just for the BBQ. Lets start the tradition this year and look forward to next years.

[nestorpr]
