Florida Yamaha Get Together

[fairpilot]

Would like to try and put a gathering together for the Florida Jet boaters. (everyone is welcome not just Florida ) In the past we have done a run to silver Glen Springs but I am open to all ideas. I am in Daytona, we have a great boating inlet here so that is an idea others ideas are Elliot Key, key largo, Panhandle. any where we go someone will have to be the guide. If interested lets plan something for early August.

Great idea Chris. Let me know when you have dates and I will add it to the Event Calendar

 

[McMark]

I'll be in DBS the last two weeks of September if any of you Daytona beach folks want to get together.

Im gone sept. 10-17 but could try to boat on 18th, tides look perfect for ponce inlet

Kinda thinking a weekend thing so people have a choice Saturday, Sunday or both. If we do Ponce inlet on Saturday, we could go to Silver Glenn (ramp in Astor Fl)springs on sunday (about 45 min from Daytona) at least that will flush our boats good in the fresh water. I dont want to sound like i want to stay close to home, Im game on to travel. So lets get some ideas out and see what works. Maybe get a few ideas the add a poll, if thats possible

How is Elliott Key on a weekend, is it really crowded? Also how is the ramp, parking availablity, i have not been there is many years but have a friend that goes there, he loves it on weekday.

Its a pretty good crowd not to bad on the weekend.. saw lots of yamahas out there this past sunday.. I usually anchor right on sands cut its a nice sand bar.. as for boat ramp I always launch from matheson hammock its not to bad on the weekend either to launch but i get there early

I wish I was a teeny bit closer. For a short outing like this sounds to be - I'll have to pass.

 

[JetSet407]

@fairpilot Good idea. I'm down for whatever and the weekend idea sounds good. Let's make something happen.

I've been to most those spots except the panhandle. Every time the panhandle comes up, from what I see on google maps, from Central Fla, I'd rather just drive to the keys.

Ponce inlet is our normal spot (usually the middle of the sandbar closest to the inlet), but I wouldn't say it's worth a super long drive for somebody to meet there.

Key Largo in early august might be crazy because of lobster season.

Been a long time since I've been to Elliot.

Eggmont Key/Ft Desoto is our current favorite area worth driving to. We use to also do anclote/3 rooker but last I heard anclote sandbar had gotten much smaller and 3 rooker was split in half.

Boca Granda/Stump pass is also nice but you have to be careful in summer after lots of rain or you end up with really bad water from all the fresh water outflow.
