Staying at the Cabbage Key Restaurant & Inn. Room # 4.

I'm traveling light (no wife, no kids or boat). Looks like I will need a lift from the mainland (launch pad, etc) to the Island... any of you guys moonlight as a "Water Taxi"? LOL!! I will be arriving on Saturday morning. Bet i win the award for longest commute.

Looking forward to meeting everyone...��

Excellent 77SceptreOB, We'll gather you up Saturday morn'in at Pineland Marina on Waterfront Drive, in beauitiful Downtown Pineland. Where the Hell is Pineland you say? It's just a tad south of Bokeelia and a we bit west of Matlacha.

Thanks Terry!!

BUT...I started thinking "why should I have only half the fun?"

So, I've decided to come down a day earlier than I originally planned. Now, I'm going to arrive Friday afternoon (At the redneck launch pad, i guess) so I can enjoy the whole experience including the Friday festivities!!

Mmm, Lobstah, it`s not just for breakfast anymore.

Scepter and Sandy, Don't call our bluff, Kmoose and I will be down there on Wednesday so one of us will gather you guys up on Friday PM - no problem.

Do not get stuck on dragging a Seacraft here if it impedes you making the trip. We got plenty of Seacraft boats - we need experianced navigators and throttlemen to select new and exciting places for us to run aground!

Sandy, I've never seen a lobster off of Boca Grande. I've got 'em from Bayport to Venice when you used to be able to take Jewfish (Golliath Grouper) The only critter that loves lobster more than you is the dang Jewfish. They can "vacuum" 'em out from under the ledges. I've seen a few this year down south off of Sarasota in May along with some Lion Fish, but haven't been back since the season opened. There are a few small ledges off of Boca in about 45' then some stuff that is pretty far apart in about 75' then another ledge strata at about 90'.
Trader Ter, may know of some stuff up off of Gasprilla. that is relatively shallow . Most everyting is pretty deep for Slacker Air hose lines but bring it along, we'll jug a spot and we'll put it to work. Bring your harpoon gun, we got lots of fish over here!

And we wonder why all of our friends are absent from class. A grouper took a diver to his thighs last year. Who is the hunter?
I hear slippers are there. I also hear they taste more like our northern bugzzz.

Also hear Cubera can not resist them. Ice cream for them.
Can`t wait.

Jim not to worry!! We'll find you and get you over to CK. I'm doing it a bit different, I'm putting in at Elrods in Placida either Thursday or Friday and taking the boat down to CK from there. It's only about 14 -15 miles on the intercoastal. Doing it that way I can run by some of the shallows I've run aground on years ago and reminisce.

Got Friday.
Cheers,

It is with great regret Patti & I will not be able to attend...

I have reservations for room #6 up for grabs if someone would
like to take it before it must be canceled. (10 days prior)

As most of you know I have been in the POS business (cash registers)
for 39 years! We currently have a contract for the second largest
sale of my career....

This new project is due to roll at the end of the month..

I will miss seeing everybody..

[DonV]

Well poop Ken, we're gonna miss you and Patti. Congrats on the business deal, however I would have thought to miss the gathering it would have taken the largest sale of your career!!!! Just for grins I'll have a drink, or two, and think of you guys next month!!

Bone`s said he was going to buy Cabbage Key and sell shares to us. SeaCraft Island.

That is a very big deal and we will tell many lies about you in your absence.
Knock knock.

Cheers,
Get you furry POS register here. Many. You have this in you, go out in style.
