Fall 2013 Gathering-Florida CSC'ers

Discussed this with Susan tonight and we vote the Ramada and Anclote - for what its worth. Which is not much since we are between both and it doesn't matter other than the area and it doesn't get much better than Anclote - if anyone wants to grouper fish I have hundreds of good numbers within 15 miles of Anclote.

Rusty said he had a house in NPR to stay at so that may help him.

Denny you are correct - coming over 710 to 98 in Oki thru Zolfo Springs to 64 is a great drive and great roads. The run north gets worse but just running over 75/275/ Skyway and dropping in at Ft Desoto would allow you to hook up with the guys driving up, as they have to go right passed there.

That price at the Ramada might even allow some folks to arrive on thurs rather than Fri and still cost less, I'm guessing 20 to 30 for a slip in St Pete 90 + 30 and a 12% bed tax in Pinelllas, NPR is in Pasco.

Denny the North Bar at Anclote is pet friendly as is the Ramada so Shadow better be coming, just like Sandy it wouldn't be right without her - just say'in

It would be like not having DonV too, he's kinda a dog

And damn proud of it!!

Hey Anclote is good by me!! ESD's grouper numbers will make it even more productive!

Gotta be by December 3rd though!!

I guess you lost me here...to many mixed messages...

Where is the Ramada and does the Ramada have dockage? Do we boat from the Ramada to Anclote or ???

What dates are we now looking at?

Thanks,

The Ramada is in New Port Richey, at Gulf Harbors which is very close to Anclote. It has docks right outside the rooms and $68 per night includeing the dockage, at that price maybe make it an extra day.

The St Pete site near Ft Desoto would be about $110 including the slip

both places have Nov 1 -2 available - last weekend of Daylight savings but dates are not set

Danny maybe start a tally of votes for dates and places

Dixon, that's the route I normally take heading over that way. Took 70 over thru Arcadia to get Sandy's race boat but I noticed the shoulders were pretty narrow, so we came back thru Zolfo and it's much better with more room to pull off if you have a tire problem.

Shadow will be 13 in November, so don't know if she'll be up for that trip, but will try to bring her if possible. She's still pretty healthy but slowing down, with more naps and less lizard chasing! Our nightly 45 minute walk is now about 30 minutes, with a lot more stops to sniff! Must have picked up that habit from our beagle! Denny
