Just got off the phone with www.captaindantheflounderman.com and Dan's bay boat is available for this Sat. He provides the rod & reels, and also cleans your fish and bags it. After hitting Happy Hour and Capt Benny's Fri night, I would advise going out after breakfast about 10 or 11 am for a 1/2 day on the water. Cost is $ 300 for the 1/2 day with a 4 person limit. Get a small group together and give Dan a shout at: 361-386-3219. T

Never been offshore fishing, is that $300. per person or the group of 4? I'd want to do the 1/2 day also.

It's $ 300 for the Captain & the bay boat, so it would be $ 75 each for 4 people or $ 100 each for 3 people for the 1/2 day. Go to www.captaindantheflounderman.com This area is a lot about bay fishing on smaller 20-22' bay boats that are able to get into the shallows. Redfish, speckled sea trout, sheepshead, black drum, etc are pretty much what you will be catching, and are very good eating. I believe deep sea fishing is substantially more $$ and it leans more toward a full day. Three people is ideal on these smaller bay boats, but Dan said that 4 is doable and 5 gets a little crowded. I would advise to get your Fishing permit at Wal-Mart, etc before coming down so you don't have to hassle with that when you get here. T

Don't forget you can hop the ferry w/your 928 and ride over to Port Aransas. A good spot for photo's of your 928 on the beach.....

Almost ready....

Don, which one is that? And don't worry about shocks, the roads are smooth.

'tis The Donald Don, not "the Don" so it's my 90GT with the new string magnetic force coilover. I just need to install the neodymium stones, power balance bands, and get an alignment....

SeanR

Don't forget the back up charging cores.

Will be good to see the car again.

Heads up. Going to get over to The Light House Inn on Fri mid-day and hopefully coning off some spaces for the 928's before you arrive. Pay attention to the posted speed limits while in Rockport. The police would like to send you home with an unwanted souvenier. T

Shame for me...ran into some $ flow issues. I'm out. I've cancelled my hotel reservation, so if someone needs a place to crash, it's available. Have fun.

I am coming down from Austin. Haven't heard of any other from here, but I missed the last GTG.
I would be interested in fishing Sat, might even talk Rose into going.
