Peanut Island Gathering 6/17-6/18 2011

[Bushwacker]

I know many day trippers and other lurkers may show up.
Please chime in.

Chime in locals!

Ok, here's a shot of Peanut Island to get the attention of all you slackers than haven't made your reservations yet, as well as you locals that may not have given it much thought!


Shadow and I took a ride over there a couple months ago to get some pics so y'all would know what to expect.


Click here to see a slide show of what we found! This is by far one of the most beautiful parks and campgrounds on the east coast, located right on the beach on the east side of the island where you'll get a breeze right off the inlet. Turquoise green water with 30-50' visibility in the inlet at high tide and up to 120' on beautiful offshore reefs that are only about a mile off the beach! (You have to drift dive because of the current, which will about tear your ears off if you try to anchor!) The gulf stream is only 3 miles out, so it's a short run for a good shot at dolphin, wahoo, kings, and sails if you like to troll or lots of reefs for bottom fishing! Good snook fishing in the inlet at night! Can't beat it for variety and convenience! Doesn't get much easier than this folks! If anyone prefers to stay in a motel, let me know, as there are several options for that too! Denny

Shadow loves that big sandbar!
