FL Aquasport Spring 2012 Gathering

[seabob4]

What's you guys' ethanol prices?  We're down to $3.63...

[RickK]

4.19 as of yesterday.

Still high - probably wait until Thursday or Friday to fill it up. Hopefully it'll be down a bit. What time will you be ready to boogy on Friday?

SB - we're in the 3.80s here still or at least the places I drove past.
My wife has been buying groceries at Winn Dixie and building the "cents off" on gas.  A week ago I got 20 gallons of gas for $.109 a gallon (can't get it for free - that's the minimum) or $2.18 total.    She says I'll get the same price this week also.  If you guys aren't taking advantage of this you should look into it. Gotta buy groceries somewhere....

I would love make this one - finally. Alas, my firm has its annual meeting that weekend in Clearwater. Have fun guys!

[Circle Hooked]

What time will you be ready to boogy on Friday?

I'm gonna wait till Josh gets out of school, I should be ready to leave around 3, that put me at the ramp 4-4:30 that should work, and I may just stop on the way and fill up, maybe the price will come down more by then, I need 80 gal so any little bit helps.

I'm pretty sure Dave and I will split around noon.  He said he's done some major updates on his boat - I'm going over tomorrow to see what all the hubbub is.
I guess we could meet in the hook at Cayo Costa?

...I may just stop on the way and fill up, maybe the price will come down more by then, I need 80 gal so any little bit helps.

I can feel your pain - I think I need 100 gals.    I hope she has 300 or so gals on hand.  If you stop in this week warn her.
I bought Walmart out of Startron - so at least I'm ready on that end.

Matt, are you seeing an uptick in the trout this year?  I have been catching a bunch and don't remember them being this plentiful the last few years.

[Capt Matt]

Spring time is always great trout fishing, this year though they do seem a little larger and more plentyfull.
On the higher water you should be able to get some reds on the oyster bars on mangroves at fosters too.
The joy of this spot is you don't have to go far at all to catch fish.
What time you planning on rolling in Friday?
Capt Matt

[Circle Hooked]

going to be late afternoon for me, hope to be on the water by 5 Friday
