Boating Plans for 2006

What, if anything are y'all planning to do this year? Anything new? anything different?

For us, it will be a lot of the same inshore fishing the Pine Island, Matlacha with the exception being hopefully catching our targeted quarry more often. Will venture out some, weather permitting to the Gulf for some offshore bottom fishing and probably get back to diving a bit more regularily. Then we have the summer trips to the keys for lobster and some offshore blue water trolling.

Come late spring / early summer we are looking to get a few more tarpon memories and my neighbor wants to try for tarpon by kayak in the Caloosahatchee. I may just bring my video camera and let him go first. Has anyone fished for and landed a tarpon fishing from a kayak?

I expect quite a wild ride and come to think of it, the area we 'found' is maybe about two miles from home. It does pay to go fishing with people who know better than you thought you did. I guess you can always learn something new. ;)

Jim, I just took a look at Put-In-Bay photos out of curiosity. What's with the Christmas in July theme? Bryan Bryan

It is just a play on Christmas in the midst of summer that took on a life of it's own.

This is perhaps the busiest weekend on the island and dedicated to drunks and more drunks. We have no plans on going into town during the weekend evenings and I would not planned the vacation during that weekend. But the son of the other family going with us, a US Marine currently serving in Iraq, wanted it so he got it.

The island is actually quite fun during the week. ;-)

Thanks for the links. Looks like a celebration! I'm sure it's a great time for all. Still, you've got to wonder if any boating gets done? Do they have shore boats for folks staying on the moorings? Bryan

Harbor taxi's. The mooring buoys are a great place to get away from the downtown crowds and rafting at the docks.

Scroll down to private dockage - mooring buoys.

====== Harbor Taxi: The Boardwalk Harbor Taxi provides shuttle service between the mooring buoys and the Doller Dock (Boardwalk). Water taxi hours are 8 am to midnight Sunday through Thursday and 7 am to 1 am on Friday and Saturday. Call 419-285-6183. No tours. Monitoring channel 10.

I'd like to get over to the Abacos for about 3 weeks in early spring, Wayne.B

I hear there's some great fishing at a little place called 'Castaway Cay' about 7-8 miles from Abaco!

We will be out on the Lake as usual during the summer, most likely tubing or at our favorite swimming holes.

We have just put a deposit down on a rental house on Put-In-Bay for the week of July 22-30 (Christmas in July weekend) and will be trailering the boat up with us. Unless I can find a fixed dock, we will probably keep it on a buoy on the bay for the week, knowing that Saturday and most of Sunday will be booked or taken by the time we arrive.

I am going to MN this summer for a week. Other than that it will be the usual. Central IN fishing. I might go to Lake Barkley this summer for a couple of days. Then to Lake Monroe (home of John Mellencamp). With probably one short trip to Michigan City by the pier and or Trail Creek when the Skamania run starts.
