It has been uninhabited for 50 yrs until the ranger went out there 3yrs ago, drop a 2000lb bomb on it and you'd kill a couple coons and a 3 possums?????? and since Frank didn't do a low level bombing run with a 2000lb bomb, all of which will be thrilled to see you and your abundant food stuffs by the way

Glad you are planing to join us bbh57,
We will have segregated areas for non-SeaCrafts ![]() Just kidding!!!! We are over 60 confirmed as of today, this does not include those who have said if they plan on kids, wives, girlfriends and or friends coming with them. As we get closer, I would like to get a better count, so that if the Bennett raffle goes well the club will furnish the main coarse. Bennett Raffle See ya, Ken

Is it pay camping or just find a spot? Do we need to make reservations? I do not know if I will camp or not. It depends on the wife's back. Going to make the run from Bradenton either way.

The flight restrictions over Anclote Key are a minumum altitude of 2000' MSL (above mean sea level) within 1000' horizontal distance of Anclote Key State park. The park boundary also extends out into Gulf waters 1/4 nautical mile (1500') in all directions. I kept to those distances for 3 reasons: 1, it's the law, and I am a Captain in the Civil Air Patrol. 2, I had requested radar flight following from Tampa Center, and my exact altitude and location was being reported to the tower every 4 seconds through my transponder. And 3, there was a Coast Guard C-130 flying around within 5 miles of the island at an altitude of 300'-500', at times actually passing directly beneath me while I was at 2000'. They seemed to be circling the very same school of fish.
Hey guys, I've seen a lot of schools of fish from the air over the years, but only once have I seen a school of fish larger than this. That was back in the mid 90's off of Palm Beach, when I saw a school of ballyhoo that was 3-5 MILES long, and some half-mile wide. This school off Anclote was undoubtedly numbered in the hundreds of thousands or millions of fish, not just hundreds or thousands or ten-thousands. It was absolutely gorgeous to see. Time to respool my reels. ![]()
