Hey guys, I'm planning to go out to the lakes once again this weekend 3-11-2017, I usually launch in Lake Apopka lake Beauclair canal, and work my way into the lakes. I plan to go to Lake Eustis and play around this weekend. Maybe make it all the way out to Lake Harris. Who knows.

Anyone else boating on the waters?

Post here and maybe we can meet?

I plan to keep using this post to update when I go out, and possibly meet with fellow I-Boats members on said dates.

If accepted, I'll update with pictures from the beautiful central Florida lakes.

Will do on the Gators... I have some adjustments to make on my lower unit, and was planning to take care of this in the canals... But I've been hearing stories lately of the Gators. Didn't realize there were that many around. I'm having second thoughts about stepping out of the boat now...

Lake Dora meet? Do you know where I can find info?

This is me. Wave, honk, yell or talk to me if you see me.

I always love putting a face to people I talk to online.

If you see a guy with a ranger bass boat with a merc 225 hanging off the back that has tatoos up and down his arms with a bait caster in his hand and a large bass on the other end while smoking a cigarette with a pissed off look on his face. thats Tracy. he is one of our welders. he will be at what ever tournament is going on and will be in the top 3 at weigh in. the guy fishes 3 days a week and makes more money than he does the other 4 days welding

If you get down by Bradenton, I may be headed to the motorsports park for the swap meet

The Harris Chain is a great place to boat and fish. When we had our 2000 Bayliner Capri Cuddy we spent many a day on it relaxing. Does anyone know if they ever opened the canal into Lake Apopka from the chain. Here are a few pictures of our boat tied up at a restaurant on the Dead River.

I don't know for sure that they did or not. I launch in the canal that connects the 2, and last time out we went towards lake Apopka, but ended up turning around before we reached the lake. I don't know where they had it blocked before.
