Octoberfest Aquasport Reunion

[gran398]

Captain John and I would like to take this opportunity to invite all to the first annual Octoberfest Aquasport Reunion, Saturday, October 23rd, 2010.

We are currently looking at Southport, NC, 30 miles southwest of Wilmington.  Founded 1730.  Quaint, historic fishing village at the mouth of the Cape Fear River. Easy access to famed Bald Head Island and the Atlantic. Excellent fishing. BIG king mackeral run then. Great flounder/spec/redfish fishery. Fun shopping on main street. Restaurants on the water. AND.....oysters will be in season.....AND....fried spots will be in season!

Open invite to ALL Aquasport owners. Fly in, drive in, trailer in, whatever, no problem. The more the merrier. You guys up north, the weather here then is awesome. Nothing like beautiful fall weather on the Carolina coast. SC, Ga, easy trip here. Our Florida cousins, come on, would be a blast to put faces with names.

Welcome.....and ya'll come!

Would love to be there, I have family in Savannah, actually that is where I went to buy the Osprey a year ago.  However, I will be setting sail for the Carribean that day out of NOLA.  Maybe the next one.  Enjoy.

Just for Reference:



I'm not sure if I'm going to make it, I'm still debating... That's just quite a haul for me, and my old truck is getting tired.  If I can find someone with a more modern tow vehicle who wouldn't mind making the trip with me, I'll go...  or maybe I'll put a hitch on the Honda.     Pending.

Jesse, Lewis mentioned he could come  from ATL and pick ya'll  up.....he has a new Silverado

[GoneFission]

Hey Charleston guys - come on up - it's 150 miles and an easy drive.  

240 miles for me from LKN, but as the Hot Rod Lincoln song says, "the brakes are good, and the tires are fair..."  

Fishing is usually great that time of year around Southport and Cape Fear - reds, spots, and specks inshore; with kings, some spanish, and flounder on the reefs a few miles off the beach.  We will see how the weather looks when we get closer, but we're looking at a location where we can have the boats in the water, do some visiting/socializing, and maybe have some food.  We will try to work out some special deals on accomodations for those who want to stay over - so stay tuned!    
 
See you there for Aquasport Octoberfest!

Yo bro!

Lewis said he was going to pm you about coming by from ATL and picking you up.....he has a new Silverado....

Have you heard from him?

We're gonna have a blast....

Thanks,

Scott

PS.... edit.....this post was meant as a pm to you...screwed it up, sorry 'bout that....I LIKE Lewis's new truck tho...   Thanks Lew!

Ha! I actually talked to Lewis yesterday.  If the stars align, we'll be heading down together with my boat.  I hope to see you guys there  8)

Have you guys figured out your gathering place yet? Like with GPS coordinates and such? Got the celebrity lineup yet?

Pretty soon we'll be nation wide  

[gran398]

Yep, it will be Southport, NC, approx. 28 miles SW of Wilmington, NC... home of Jim Cantore  ( his girlfriends live here anyhow).

No GPS coordinates yet. Cap'n John is the tech guy. My specialty is promotion....shoulda been a carny barker....

Details upcoming on the gathering here. Still negotiating with several young starlets. Trust me, she will be worthy of the title "Miss Aquasport 2010".  All Aquasporter's are welcome....ya'll come!

[GoneFission]

Virginia and Carolina folks - you know you gotta be there!  No promises, except fun, Aquasports, and maybe a surprise or two:

 

Or something like that???

[gran398]

Hi all,

Am in process of making reservations for us at the Hampton Inn, Southport NC. Will block off a number of rooms, at a discounted rate. All are welcome, the more the merrier!

We will be having an oyster roast Saturday night. Will serve fried fish/slaw/ huspuppies too.

Please let us know your plans....looking forward to a GREAT weekend!!

Okay we are going to do our darndest to be there. Should know tomorrow whether we will make the detour to Charleston to get Jessie and his boat. Really looking forward to it!

[John Jones]

Look at the nose and you will see it's a Fiero with a Lambo body kit.  The nose of the real thing is much different.  And it's powered by either an inline 4 or a V-6, not a 640HP V-10 like the real thing...  

[gran398]

Forget the car....I'll take the one on the right!
