Lewis,
Awesome pics, bud!  The one of Longboat Pass gives me very fond memories, as one can see it is a narrow pass, with the bars outside the pass really funneling the water during incoming tide.  Snook would just suspend in the channel, waiting for the tide to bring them dinner...you catch a snook on every cast! :thumleft:  :thumleft:

Good spot for tarpon as well on an outgoing tide but the boat traffic nowadays makes it tough to fish the pass after 9AM.

seagate,
We've got "character" over here on our coast...but then you're in 300' of water at the drop of a hat!  Us?  Well, halfway to Mexico... :shock:

Nice Lew - tanx mon.
The first pic, lower right where the 2 boat wakes are making a "X", we held the last two gatherings right behind the bigger island, to the right of the little island above it.
We've had gatherings at several of those spots  :cheers:
