Re: Florida Get Together 2010 OFFICIAL NOTICE make your reservations!!!!!

OK fishermen, fisherladies, boaters, campers, hangers out and all others of the get together.....we are now inside of a month for our gathering..

Time to shake off the winter blues, dust off the fishing gear, de-winterize the boats and basically get ready....

Second annual Florida Get Together is now within sight.

I am looking forward to greeting our new friends and meeting back up with our old ones....

Lucy has her shots, and Barb has been working on her tan..or was that Barb got some shots and Lucy was doing a lot of laying around outside...??

Hope the time passes quickly and we may all be singing around the campfire soon...(we can build us one of them can't we??) :D

Yes the time is near, I am ready, the boat and trailer are almost ready, I am also rebuilding my floating dock while trying to do the rest of the stuff and working all day.

Everyone please pm Tashasdaddy and let him know you still plan to be there, he needs to confirm a head count for getting supplies and planning meals. Please help and let him know. Thanks.

Re: Florida Get Together 2010 OFFICIAL NOTICE make your reservations!!!!!

Well...
I hate to say that I will not make this year's event.
TD, Rick, Nlain, Bard...all of you steering commitee guys I apologize..
With the trailer not up to par, getting back off the road the day before, and JUST learned one of my biggest customers from Vegas will be in Miami that weekend and would like to meet up.
I may take them on an open party fishing boat, as thats what they mentioned they would like to do..The only BONUS is I get reimbursed for a days fishing for Diane & I..

I had thought of running up there just for the day on Sat, but that is unrealistic.

I hope y'all forgive me:mad:

Ahh man....:(

We just found out Barb has to work Thursday. She had planned to be off and give us another day up there.

Sorry, Kev..we'll have lots of pics and I'll be sure to eat your share of burgers..:p

Sure was looking forward to getting the old crew all back together again...

Now if the trailer was OK and Dianne was able...oh well, never mind..:D

I also plan to be there somewhere in the midday range, 4 to 5 hours after I leave home I should be there.

OH, Rick, I don't think your bread basket is big enough to eat your share and Kevin's share of burgers. :D

Re: Florida Get Together 2010 OFFICIAL NOTICE make your reservations!!!!!

Well, the weather reports for this area are starting to be posted. Bring your sunscreen!! High on Saturday predicted 85..lows in the mid to high 60's. Only a slight chance of rain on Sunday afternoon..

The water temp is picking up nicely. For those who will be fishing, the warmer weather will be getting the fish active. Already the flats are loaded with trout, reds and some cobia have been sighted. Trout fishing is pretty easy in just 4' to 7' of water and when they are hungry you can catch a boatload. Remember for those coming from out of state you will need a saltwater fishing license.

The three day non resident fishing license is $17. there is a fee from the tackle shop of about $2. They can be bought at any WalMart store, tackle and bait shops, county tax offices.

We sure are excited about our prospects for a great weekend..I am including some pics of a few grouper we just caught this week a little south of Crystal River...they are now in season and the limit is 2 each per day.

Re: Florida Get Together 2010 OFFICIAL NOTICE make your reservations!!!!!

TRAFFIC ALERT. For the past 2 weeks have been getting reports of bad traffic problems going north on 75. Could be a combination of construction and people heading back north and spring break people going north. 2 weeks ago the couple next door were headed back to VA. They got as far as the PEACE RIVER and had to detour to ARCADIA and wind there way up to pick up 301. Couple this weekend visiting from SAFETY HARBOR concour to be past TAMPA by 2 PM. Otherwise expect stop and go traffic. Friend in PASCO county says the same thing.
Guess we will be showing up early FRI. evening. FRED

We are still onboard for sure. Super stoked to come back to Crystal river, and ready to meet everyone. Hopefully we can get off a bit early on Friday and make it for an evening cruise.
Do we need to contribute money for food? We still have just the three of us nut we are more than willing to help out with cost.
Can't wait to get there!!!:D
