It's been brought up twice already, so let's look into this. Who would be interested in a South FL UB get together? We had something similar a few years ago, and it was fun! Who's interested? This is going out to both boaters and non-boaters. Once we see how many members are interested, we can figure out logistics, date, and location.
Who's game?
I'm in, as a boater. I can carry 2 people.
Good chance my son and I would be in.

Depending on when I would like to try the Glades and some Peas again.
Here's a list of those interested so far:
1. FL Storm (boater) + son
2. Larry (boater)
3. Lou (boater)
4. Topwater Rob (boater)
5. Backlash (boater)
I'd be interested. Boater
I'd be interested (boater). Scheduling permitting obviously.
Updated the list.
Good start.
Step 2. Location and date possibilities?
I'm in Broward, but probably able to make a drive.

Location? I think you know best on that Lou. I would like some Peas and would really like to have a shot at a Clown Knife but I think that may mess up things a bit for some others. Not my intent at all. Some place fishy with good food afterwards.

Unfortunately clown knife fish and snakeheads are not options this go around. Only place for that is Delray beach, and that ramp is nuts on the wknd. No thank you.
Only location that makes sense for me is Holiday Park. Its the hub to reach multiple locations in the Everglades.
As far as food, there no near by restaurants in that area. We are not designed like the AE events on Hatch.
As far as dates: 5/13 or 5/27 good options for everyone?

Unfortunately, I'm currently planning to be out the weekend of the 13th (but that may change and I can attend). I will definitely be out of town on the 27th.

How about we look at it differently. What Saturday(s) are you available?
Kotg is on the 7th and hoards will be practicing on the 6th.
Unless we consider the alley?
Should be available any Saturday in May. As far as where, we leave it to you guys. We're open to fishing what we know or learning new water.

There's that truck stop on 27 across from Griffin. Not fancy but decent comfort food.
Ouch. That is the time frame when we go back to Indiana for 5 Birthdays and Graduations. Sorry Mid to the end of May is not good for me.

I believe I'm available the 6th and possibly the 13th (if my plans change). For things like this, you have to put a date out there and whoever can come, great. Every time I've tried to organize something like this and try to get everyone, the dates keep pushing back.
Agree.

I hear you. It's tough to organize something like this. With that said, lets seriously look at Saturday 5/13. I think Holiday will be our best bet.
As I mentioned before. I can accommodate 2 anglers. Limit of 4 rods per angler.

So is the 13th the deal?
We're open to the 13th

Just shy of 2 weeks. I know I/we have not planned much fan fare behind this get together, but nonetheless it will be pretty nice to put faces behind the screen names. I'm committed to this date. Who's IN for sure? Barring any last minute emergencies or issues of course?
I think Holiday Park is still the better place to meet, at least for this 1st "get together". What say you?
I'm in
We should be good to go.

With the 13th quickly approaching on us. Who's definitely in? I would also like Captains who are joining us mobile numbers for easy communication among us. Just PM me your numbers if I don't already have it. Thanks!
Another question. Meeting time? Safe light. That's about 6:30am. I will be out there before that anyways, just want to get a consensus.
We're in. We are good with whatever time works best for the group.

Awesome! Welcome to UB Jim. What better way to get to know us than by meeting some of us in person. Happy to have to you.
Guys keep in mind, it's ok if you don't have a boat. We have room to carry those who want to participate and want to fish.

As a new poster, rule of thumb you let us out fish you the first few outings. Lol.... Welcome to the forum. We can fit one more as well. The boy usually fishes the front deck with me.

Yes, we are still talking about this Saturday. It is understandable if your plans have changed.
Gang, I'm keeping an eye on the weather for this Saturday. With forecasted thunderstorms, our get-together may change. I will continue monitoring.

The Alley always provides some safe cover under those bridges every mile. We have often sat out a storm passing through. Just a thought!

It does. Thank you for the suggestion, George. We will stay with the original venue over at Holiday Park.
Weather for tomorrow looks good. We are a go. Meeting up at 0630 work for everyone? There are a couple of courtesy docks at that ramp where you can stage temporarily, and not block any of the launching ramps. There is also a beaching spot just West of the last ramp as well. I'm heading out to go fishing right now, but I will monitor this thread through out the day. See you guys tomorrow! ~gf
See you guys Sat. What time we fishing til? I'm still solo if someone is boatless.

I was thinking 1pm? That's a solid 6 hours of fishing.
I sure hope you guys are following this thread.
Just got off the phone with Big G. He will not be fishing tomorrow, unfortunately.
BUT!!
You will find him around the ramp area as we arrive. He will be providing lunch for us.
George, thank you, my friend.
We will see you tomorrow!!
As our get together quickly approaches. If your still on the fence joining us, we have a couple back seats available. I have one left, and there's another spot open on Jhab's boat.
See you soon!
BTW,, I will be in the white Vexus boat. ;)
