I'm "here" right now, just bought that wonderful $4.19/gal non ethanol gas!!!! Can't be any flatter out there on the water, however the tarpon had lock jaw all day today!!!! Or, I just suck at this! Poop!!

Oh yeah, the Cuban restaurant out front of Caloosa (Habanos) does a nice job of "cooking your catch", much cheaper than Lazy Days.

Five Oh,
You still using those pawn shop hooks?

Just back from the Peanut Island site. 20 campgrounds with pad, grill, and hot showers. All may only be booked 3 mos. in advance. Only 2 per household so we need to organize a time to pounce or we won`t have tickets to the fair.

It`ll be June before we know it.

The Sailing Club may have room for rigs `n trailers. I have a friend who lives close by and he knows a few of their pirates.

We must once again set the bar for our Northern Patriots.

Sandy-We have talked about Peanut Island way too long without making it happen. It looks like we have 2 places one that ESD has scouted off the Dunedin Causeway and Peanut Island. I say we make both locations happen. Peanut Island will be the tougher to set-up with reservations, so maybe push it to Oct./Nov.. Input??

If you want to camp at peanut island that will be tough . But there's a lot of first come first serve pavilions all over the island. If one person comes early in the morning and locks one down that might be good enough for a gathering. I know this might not work well for people planning on staying overnight though. There's also a lot of bars with docks all along the intercostal. Maybe we could meet at peanut and do a little cruise. Just a thought .

East for the spring run, West for fall?

Danny,
Let me make a few calls and pound on some doors. Mid/early May would be perfect for the DoDo`s and give us a good chance of not being blown out. Set a time, set a place, and enjoy.

Let`s get organized! Makes no sense to tow cross state as we always have too many boats, and too few fisher folks. Heck, we have too many boats over here.

I will do a poll .......
