We dodged a bullet on that one...

Which site would you guys choose from what is left? I want to come up from Sarasota, we missed the one across the state.

Thanks
Jeff

I would call the ranger station first, they have sites held back. Tell them your with us and wanted to see if they had an interior spot close to us, can't hurt to ask. Or just bring an extra set of chairs and leave some over there so you don't have to carry them, you will only be sleeping in your site anyway.

Even though we are 2 months from getting together again,
I pulled out the camping gear to make sure we are
ready to go...
While we were at Long Point I must have put my Dorcy
LED spot light down some where and forgot it.
If anyone picked it up please let me know..

See ya soon !!

Thanks, Ken

Well Sam, Thanks for the science project tip !!
Today after an endless search I found the elusive
LED light. It was hiding under the back bench seat
in the Ole' Dodge....

See everyone soon, Ken

Ok people, we are starting to get as fired up about this Gathering @ Ft. Desoto as our Northern Brethren do for their annual "3 guys driving around all day trying to find the CSC Gathering with no luck" I am looking forward to that island camping with wall to wall trees

this Gathering @ Ft. Desoto as our Northern Brethren do for their annual "3 guys driving around all day trying to find the CSC Gathering with no luck"

Our biggest problem is getting the parking organized

OK kids its getting close and I'm getting fired up - ran into a past SeaCraft owner that has recently registered looking for a 23. I invited him although he was reluctent " because he didn't have another one yet" of course I tried to explain since they had 2 before and was looking he qualified

He found me at an island in Tampa Bay and came over, his name is trave2 hope we can convince he and his brother to come, maybe a couple IM's would help

Oh by the way, a Capt friend of mine gave a me a spot for giant reds 30"+ on the otherside of the skyway right near us. I will try and verify but have been there in the winter and it was good then, just slot fish.

[Snookerd]

there are reds all over there. The Manatee River has them too! I hear the grouper bite ain't bad either

[eggsuckindog]

will get better as the water cools, should be fish in the ship channel I don't know much about fishing it though.
