LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going fast

[Briguy]

Just wanted to post here to see if anyone is coming in Thursday? I'll be pulling in by noon. I just made a reservation at the Floridana Beach Motel Melbourne Beach, Florida. They have well lit parking for trailers and their rate is 65 bucks. I believe they have 2 rooms left. Here is their website.

If anyone wants to get together for dinner or a cold one let me know. If anyone else is already hosting dinner/cocktails please let me know. Thanks!

I will be dropping the boat in around 8am Fri at the Long Point ramp and doing some gunkholeing. Let's get things started early. I AM PUMPED!!!!!!! Is Ken taking bets on weather the mighty volvo can tow the 23 177 miles? I just got new tires, brakes and a motor.

I will heading over very early Friday so should be in the water mid morning. I'm going east to Vero and then north, I just can never pass up an opportunity to go to YEE HAW JUNCTION, seems much shorter too. Brian to much traffic for you with the 23 though, you need the better roads.

Anyone have a pinfish trap ???? it would be sweet to put out at the park to save time. I will bring my bait motel so the kids can help too if they want.

I have gotten permission from Jerry Schiaccitano at AAA Outboard, a local Mercury dealer, to bring a collection of used and new props to try out on various boat. If you find one you really like, you will also be able to buy it on the spot. (No, I do not get a commission). I just asked to do this so that we could all try different props to see what may work better. Jerry is, however, going to offer a 10% discount on all props purchased directly or ordered. I tried to get him to go 20%, but his markup is only 15% on some new props. Some of them will be used props, and priced accordingly.
The bad news is that if we spin a hub or damage a prop I gotta pay for it, so we gotta be careful.
It'll be fun.

Getting real close and looking forward to getting out and doing some fishing. I hope we have enough locals around to point me to some bottom out there, should be plenty of Cobes around by the reports.

Are you bringing a mirage +? I was holding off on mounting mine and thought I could bring the old michigan for a mythbusters comparison. Plus I`m dying to try it out. I also have to put her back together this weekend. May have to take some vaca time before the show. Just got her back from my 100 hr service after 2 weeks...... I gotta get a shop manual!

I'm hoping for a Mirage+ 19 to be there, I'm even going to scrape the rest of the little barnacales I picked up in Marco Is
