Hey Captain, I know it's a little late. but I was woundering if there was room for 2. I have a canoe and am willing to bring but I figure that its a little under horsepower to make it to the flats. I grew up in SW FL and remember as a kid, walking off the rode into the grass flats and picking limits. I would like to take my girlfriends son who is turning 14 the Saturday before. I would love the opportunity to show him a fun time away from the video game controler. Thanks

Hey there Geb.

I am waiting on a friend to say yes or no tomorrow on the trip. As of now I have a nice room with 2 double beds at the holiday inn and am looking to share it to help my costs, but think that 3 more would probably be too crowded. I can tell you the holiday inn is supposed to be really nice and at about 90 bucks is a good deal with a free breakfast and free appetizer and drinks at dinner time.

As far as the ride up there I am on hold until tomorrow. I have a tenative spot with Mr. Bill but will confirm tomorrow with him or my buddy Jack.

I should know more tomorrow, depending on how many of you there are I would be willing to share the room (im planning on being in the room for 8 hrs for sleep and thats it). I will know more tomorrow.

Tip: If you decide to go on your own go to mapquest.com and type in the zip code for Perry, FL. Then click on hotels. There is like 12 of them some as cheap as 40 bucks and then the nicer ones are around 100 bucks.

Talk soon.

Hey GEBIII, it is kind of last minute but here is what I propose. I have the capacity on my boat for you and your son however....... the problem is that the state limits us to a 10 gal. limit per boat. Cathy(first mate) & I(Captain) are going to have our 2 gal limits each and fishinbro(deckhand) and Glenda(deckhand) will each get their 2 gal per day limits since they have already comitted which only leaves 2 gal left which would be 1 gal each for you and your son. If that is ok for the trip since it will be a long trip then we will be glad to have you aboard. I would appreciate chipping in for gas and oil for the boat. The rest is up to you.

I appreciate the replys and am still interested. I think that we would just make a long day of the trip and head back Monday evening, but thanks for the offer of sharing a room. Caughting limits is nice but I am in it for sharing the experience. I have no problem contributing to fuel cost and am looking forward to meeting everyone in person.

Mike has anyone told you lately that YOU ROCK!!!

Thank for all the info. Today I have been doing lots of research on scalloping and cleaning. I'm so ready for this adventure.

Thanks for bringing up the no chumming idea. I have been worried about that.
I know that there have been reports of more sharks closer to the shore since the oil spill.
Just set me up on top of someones platform with a speargun and I will keep watch

Oh, but I almost forgot to tell you of the dangerous scallop attacks that have been reported. Some even recorded on youtube...

Also this is the method that I use to clean. Bring a spoon, it is easy...

And as Tammy said, keep the shells and guts in a bucket on the boat till all legs and arms are inside the boat...

This trip is gonna be a riot! I am so excited! I am definitely going to be scouting for things that should not be near me. I can see Tammy manning the look out station with spear gun in hand....

- Bogie at 7' O' Clock -- INCOMING ---- INCOMING.........

I feel safe now, almost feels as good as when you were a kid and your parents tucked ya in bed and gave ya a kiss on the forehead!

I suppose I need to start packing and prepping the boat. WOO HOO

NOTE ON CHUM: please save your shells and innards and whatever..... I will dump them out on the bottom right next to where I am swimming. I aint skeered of no shark. Never have. Never will. Been bit twice. Time for payback, and if its a lemon shark its going on the grille.... yum
