Forum Bash Ft. McRee Campout

Telum Piscis — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 10:27:11 GMT

I figured that we could try and set up another campout bash on Ft. McRee. I want to give everyone enough time to plan etc... and was thinking of a late August, early September time frame. Maybe by this time, the scorching sun is not so bad. It was a good time last time out there.

So let's get a date set and let's get this thing going again.

Beach Sharking - Role Call

konz — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 13:26:37 GMT

Okay all you salty, stinking, chum covered, sharkers out there. It's time for role call. I need a head count of who all is coming this Saturday (6-14-08) so I know how much food to bring. Please also include if you are bringing bait or a yak.

Some things to keep in mind if you are gonna come out.

1. It's gonna be dark, bring a flashlight

2. No glass bottles on the beach....it's like a 60 dollar ticket per bottle

3. Your gonna need some sand spikes

Even if you don't want to fish, come on out and hang out for a bit. Have a beer and a burger and chill out.

Liberty Cafe' in Milton has great reopening!

Blackwater Bones — Fri, 23 May 2008 07:31:04 GMT

Kim Cato of Milton has reopened the Liberty in Milton and the food is fantastic. She locves groups and welcomes all. Her new hours are from 8 to 8, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can reach the Liberty by boat, just tie up at the Milton Boardwalk and walk west to the first street, Willing Street that runs along the River.

PROGRESS: The Blackwater Grill will be opening in the near future on Elmira street and for some great grouper the Main street Cafe' is just two streets over across from the old post office on Caroline Street (Hwy 90). Some great stuff is happening in Milton.

AFFORDABLE: Milton is like another planet (yea, I know). Lunch (homestyle) is still under $5.00, people still say excuse me and waterfront property still sells for under 100K (with city sewer). They has a real Pyrate Crew (Not Krewe - and they don't do Madi Gras). A play costs $12.00 and an evening talking to Bones is free.

For a different experience from canoeing to skiing to flounder giging and crab scooping, shoose Milton for your getaway.

BrewHart Forum BBQ Party

amberj — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 16:10:02 GMT

Several of you have asked about having a forum party. I am down with that. If you want to do it, someone else needs to plan the date and make sure my father-in-law and myself dont have any prior comitments that day. For that shin dig to happen. I need a place that I can cook with no problems from park rangers, or cops or anything like that, such as someones house, or land or something of that nature. We all need to go in on the meat. I can purchase the meat at a discounted price wholesale through my work, or if anyone else can get the meat cheap that is fine as well, so we need someone to collect money. So if anyone has any ideas about when and where let me know. We need someone to take charge and organize this event. I am bowing out of organizing, I dont want to organize and cook. So if someone wants to take the reins on this and start a post and get to organizing BrewHart BBQ will be there.

As stated before I am down with having a party. I just dont want to organize plan and do all that stuff and no one show up and I am stuck with the bill. For me to even make it worth firing up the grill we need to have at least 50 people. Now any ideas of you bringing your own meat are honestly a lost cause. For cooking times You are looking at 14hours for a pork butt, 6 hours for ribs and 5 hours for chicken and that is if we dont have to much trouble controlling our heat. So we need to get the money from everyone, purchase the meat so I can have it the day before and begin cooking. I think if we invited familys to participate as well I think this could be a really great thing for all of us to do, to meet each other and put faces to screen names. You couldnt ask for a better time of the year to do something like this the weather is perfect. So lets get some ideas out on the table and start planning this up.

To give those of you whom havent seen our pics of our food and our grill here they are.

Chicken

Ribs and Turkey Legs

The Grill

Wed. night anybody still want to meet up?

diesel84 — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 17:21:32 GMT

Well since Scott usually rounds us up for a wed night get together, and i think he is out fishing, I was wondering if anybody wanted to meet at the oarhouse or something. Let me know.

Save Artificial Reefs & Recreational Fishing Rights

Candy — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 06:22:12 GMT

You are invited to attend a meeting at the Destin Community Center April 22, 2008

Hosted by the Emerald Coast Reef Association

We have a representative from U.S. Senator Mel Martinez's Office coming to listen to our concerns.

We are very concerned about the ACOE's proposal to change the steel thickness from the current 1/8" to 1/2". We believe that if this proposal is adopted that our fishery will suffer and so will our economy.

More Reefs = More Fish....... More Reefs & Fish = Better Economy

Recreational Fishermen have not been treated fairly in the allocation of TAC or Open Seasons. Private Recreational Fishermen, for the most part, have sat quietly year after year while we lost more & more of our rights even though we are the largest contributor to our economy, tax base and we represent millions of votes!

Our plan is to make it clear that when Recreational Fishing suffers from Unreasonable or Unfair Regulations, our local economy also suffers. If you own a business that you feel is or will be hurt by these regulations, please contact me at candy@ecreef.org

There is no doubt that the Charter Boat industry will support this meeting but if you want to see things change, the private recreational fishermen need to attend in force.

Private Recreational Fishermen are the sleeping giant in this game.

There are MILLIONS of us out there and we Vote! Our representatives can only represent us if they know what we want.

We want the right to build artificial reefs so that we will have a healthy and sustainable fishery.
We want Recreational Fishermen to be treated fairly in the allocation of TAC & open seasons.

If you are interested in attending this meeting, please visit www.ecreef.org and click on SAVE ARTIFICIAL REEF BUILDING. That will take you to the Emerald Coast Reef Association's forum on this meeting. I need to know approximately how many people to prepare the room to accommodate.

If you believe that Reefs are important to the health of our fishery and you want to be able to fish in the Gulf of Mexico, we need to wake up that sleeping giant and all of us need to stand united on these issues!

It is very important that this meeting be conducted in a very respectful tone. This man is in a position to open doors for us. Please remember, he is not the problem...he may be part of the solution. We want to present our group as rational, intelligent, respectful, focused, organized & united Stakeholders/Voters.

If you cannot make the meeting but would still like your thoughts to be recorded, please send a letter for me to include in a package that will be copied and delivered to ALL our Elected Officials. It is very important that you include how much you spend in your local economy to support your fishing/diving/boating hobby. That will help us make the economic connection very clear. Do not specifically address the letter to any one politician as it will be sent to all of them.

To be included in the package, your letter must include your legal name & legal address and your signature.

(This is so that they will know you are a real person/voter.)

Send your letter to:

Emerald Coast Reef Association P.0. Box 273 Niceville Florida 32588 or

e-mail it to candy@ecreef.org. Please put "Letter" the Subject line.

Candy Hansard :usaflag

2008 CCA-Alabama Spring Beach Party - April 19th, 6-9:30pm

bamachem — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 16:19:55 GMT

Here's the info that I received via email:

The program includes:

Live music with John Reno

Catered by Cosmos Restaurant

Live and silent auctions

Raffle and door prizes

The cost per couple is only $50, and includes one annual CCA membership

Well I'm Now 50, so I guess I need to come clean!!! Plus the cops showed up

Bowed Up — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 23:25:08 GMT

After an enjoyable evening with many friends, I know it was a good time because the cops showed up. Well after socializing with both my male and female friends, I broke the news. So before the "rumors" begin to spread, I figured I would get a head start on the rumor mill. I was drunk, (go figure) and well I am going to come clean. The meaning behind my boat name and my screen name is not fishing related. Bowed up is my favorite position, I like to take it from the back side. Dont get me wrong, I enjoy the female sex every now and again, but for the most part, I prefer the pole not the hole.

So there it is, I said it first myself, I have opened and come out of the closet. I admit I am homosexual.

I hope the friendships I have developed through the years will not be affected by this post, but I felt it was time to come clean. After 50 years, what do I have to lose.

Thanks for all the memories, this forum has been a blessing in so many ways.

CALLING ALL NASCAR FANS

Deeplines — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 00:42:08 GMT

Well, I asked for this SUNDAY off just for the race. I have Directv and this week they are giving the PRESS PASS for free on that weekend. I can split the Tv to watch 2 drivers and the main race, actually 4 drivers but don't want to do that, the MAIN screen gets to small.

I need to clean out some freezer space so I will PROVIDE ALL THE MEAT. IF we get a full house I will provide a rack of VEAL, a few racks of lamb, deep fry and grill some fish and serve it with the Crawfish JULIEE SAUCE. ( ASK DAN ABOUT IT)

We can get a KEG if you would like or it can be BYOB. If a keg everyone would have to chip in on that though.

I will have the soup, my TACO SOUP, and all the stuff for the party far as plates bowls and such. Snacks I will not have unless you just want to eat one peice of fish and call that a snack. LOL...........

Let me know how many folks are interested. Either way I'm gonna have a few folks over and watch the race but I'm inviting up to 20 due to the parking and the neighbors. :banghead

Here is the kicker. After the last event I had here with the NOSEY ASS NEIGHBOR then I want to limit it to 30 people.

After the 1st 20 that respond via post, phone call, PM or person then I will post that the spots have been filled.

I live on the westside and have 2 bedrooms for folks that live far away, IE out of state or NAVARRE, so you can spend the night IF you want. Race should be over by 7 PM or so.

Wed. night meet up.

LITECATCH — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 19:45:03 GMT

hey guys and gals, do ya'll want to meet up wed. night? i can see if the clubhouse is open or we can try to go somewhere.
