BBH57 I'm gonna park my boat behind your house so I can reach the grouper quicker LOL. Did you have a chance to check out the boat parade for the Chasco Fiasco Saturday? It was madness, there was a 57 ciggarette boat tooling around the river, Lots of fun! Will see everyone in a few Saturday's.

bbh57, please IM resurrection from page 7, his wife has a bad back and he might want to leave the boat at your dock and do the hotel. It is only 5 Mi to the entrance to the channel to the hotel, Gulf Harbors. I have the camera and will post pic's of the actual site tomorrow-lightning game tonight and typing is hard

Here are some pic's of the exact site: In the next few shots I stood in the same place and did a 360'-S-SW-W-NE

This area down the beach will be the Low Tide anchorage (4pm)by 7 we should be able to get them all inside the bar for protection overnight.

The Lagoon from in the boat from low tide spot

Even the ranger said I picked the best spot, should work well for us, bathroom was close back in the tree's and nice. The swash channel into the lagoon stayed knee deep at a full moon low so any other time is fine and well protected. Reference the pic I posted earlier of the entire point.

Man, we can't wait, I'm slowly uncovering the 20 with all the $#!% that has been piled on top of her for the last 8 months in the barn. It is being moved into the house.
It is going to take me a day just to check everything out so we have no problems on the trip. rest assured shelving in the closets can wait due to this trip. It is all the finishing touches that consume the most time, with building a new home. Egg, I will send you Vehicle/Boat info to secure a ramp pass for us. We will check into the Ramada Friday afternoon, then launch Sat morning to head to Anclote and get set up. If there is time I plan to throw the tower on the 20 and maybe chase down a Cobe if there are
any around. Should have some Manta Rays by then. Also we need to set a time for the official gathering and cook-out.
More then likely early afternoon, would be the best.
Also Todd lures has agreed to have a selection of the trolling lures he manufactures so that we could pull another
number out of the hat for a custom lure of your choice.
Thanks to Todd Lures for this offer. Bennett raffle sitting around 50 entrants so far. I will get everyone fired up this weekend to hopefully sell-out, which would be great.
See eveyone soon, cannot wait to meet and make new friends with all. Ken

Oh yeah lets plan to use channel 68 on the VHF for communication, unless it is to busy we could pick another channel.
