When do you think you'll be posting the start and finish times, and the final launch place? Were they already posted and I missed it? I'd like to participate that day and fish out of my house Oyster Bay, and meet up over at Shell Point. I guess the Ramp there will be open for everyone????

Will any channel be designated to monitor that day to keep up with what's going on? Any kind of get together after?

Thanks,

Charlie

Probably just monitor 16 and or 9....Nothing planned afterwards that I know of....The last time we all kind of did our own thing....That's why I would like to at least meet up at noon on the water for some fellowship...Trying to keep it simple :wink: :thumbup:

Just got word from my wife, we'll be at our Grand Daughter's graduation, out of town on the 22nd. Sorry I'll miss the fun.

Mean while if anyone wants to fish, and I don't have a charter, especially week days let me know. We'll go catch us some fish.

I just came up with the excuse I need to justify my "trailerable boat" purchase. :-D :-D

Now all I need to do is sell it to the wife, yea right. :roll:

If you forego those diesels for the Lhurs you could swing it. :-D

So what's the fishing lowdown at Shell Point?
Same 2-4 ft. deep for trout and occasional Spannie?

What's the launch fee?

Don,

First and foremost, I'm glad I finally got to meet you Saturday, It was truely a pleasure.

SSSHHHH, those diesels are going to pay for themselves in 2 years or less. I go to the fuel dock every trip now and pay 2.00 and rising per gallon for gas.

With the Diesels I'll go to the fuel dock every 5th trip and pay 1.45 per gallon. Long term it's a good investment as the value of the boat goes up considerably.

It'll be a while before I drop them in but looking at it on paper it makes sense as the season here is year round and I'll use the boat 12 months out of the year.

The trailerable boat thing was a joke. I had one up north that I sold before moving down as it was the wrong boat for bay/coastal fishing on the gulf in my opinion. I'll take my time, find the right deal, and jump on it when it comes along.

I will say though I looked at Skeeter's new website and line of skinny water boats and am very impressed. I'd love to have something like that. :smt007

Geno, Mike's Marine, in Panacea, had this actual boat at the boat show this year.

They had it marked way down because Skeeter put some hours on it.
