Captiva is a little too far for any of coming from the north. Caya Costa is already and hour and half for me by ICW and this time of year thats where I wil likely have to run. My spot ws just a suggestion. Oneof you guys needs to pick a spot and a date. Having organized these more than a few times I can gauruntee not everyone will be happy. If I can hook up with you guys thats great and I will bring the Margorator!
Happy Great football watching weekend all.
Having been to both spots, the nicer of the two ESPECIALLY in February is the Cayo Costa spot becaue it's so much more protected from the wind. Looks like a lot of you are like me with young kids.....that spot seems so much better and has a good track record from the FS Forum guys feedback.
Though it's a longer run for me and the other Fort Myers guys, that's the spot I suggest.
What's everyone else think?
Perhaps somebody could take the lead and state the date and time as Sunday the 24th of Feb at 1 pm so I can run and put in on the warden's new " getting organized in 08 new year's resolution" calendar. Gotta get it up there before she schedules another nail appointment on my precious day off. LOL.

Whats up Scott? I hope all is well. You ready to come down and enjoy some tropical weather eh? Let me know if you make it over to the east coast, the sailfish bite is HOT and the rumrunners are ice cold...

Hey Scott, gave your pops the flyer and folder. The flyer will need a flame wrench to get it loose but it's worth the work. Its a bigg azz Sharkmaster with razor tip. I would make the trek and bring the beasties for a raft up but unfortunately (not) I will be neck deep in Colorado Powder at that time. Have fun.

I am at Fort Myers Beach for 2-wks with my wife 2 daughters son inlaws and 4 grand children.I also wonder if anyone has a boat smaller than a 30.My boat is a 18 ft key west with a 90 4-stroke Honda .Top end for me is only 35mph.Any information on where to beach and any places to eat or drink would be helpful. I trailered my boat down from Boston and have no idear what any of the Florida rules and regulation are.Can I approach Fort Myers Beach to pick up my kids and grand kids?How about fishing?Best inshore spots etc.Best land based bars.Have been to Beached Whale.I am staying 2tnts of a mile on the beach.

Yes, lets get a party together for Fort Myers/Sanibel/Captiva!! Sounds like fun.
On another note... if you know a buddy who is looking to get into a boat or upsize/downsize, please pass along that I am looking to share expenses on my 06' Marlago 35', she's kept at Sanibel Harbor Yacht Club. Beautiful boat and great arrangement!
