Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

Will be in the area for next 2 weeks building a pier for a friend down there.Bringing the boat so if anyones around give me a call.540-400-5536.Yes honey this is a business trip but i'm taking the boat for the weekends. :D

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

Yeah Ok :D :D

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

Lots of good places to go on the boat. For lunch try Frenchy's in Clearwater. They have a great dockmaster and nice docks. The Grouper samdwich is always fresh! If you want to relax on a island try Anclote or the sandbar just north of it by 100yards. Head south to Shell Island in St. Pete for more performance boats.
Have fun watch the tides and stay in the channel!

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

me and Randy will be down fri so have our cooler packed! :D: remember no boat ridin till the work is done! :drink:

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

Be careful around Hudson. LOTS of shallow water. Don't venture outside the marked channels.

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

Don't start B.When are you coming to SML ?

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

As soon as i get some time off? Dont worry i will come down there and show you how to get it done. :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

I may run down to Hooters for lunch next weekend. You still going to be around? I normally put in at Hernando Beach or Hudson and run south.

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

Gator, Were you guy's at 3 Rooker's last Sunday? We came by and saw a couple of Cig's and a Concept rafted up but were heading down to Frenchy's. When we came back everyone was gone. Dave

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

I think that may have been Zero Gravity. I know he went down with some other boats. I would have been the Donzi behind Sea Tow from just north of Dunedin Causeway to a small marina in Ozona.

Is 3 rooker the Island just north of Honeymoon Island? I know it's in that area. I spend more time around Anclote and the Sandbar north of it.

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

Brings back good memories. Met my wife in Hudson, lived there for 4yrs. Anclote Mental Institution is private and I had a 2nd job there for 2-3 months. Wore the white coats third shift.

First night on job they wouldn't let me out at 8am. I explained I just started at midnight and did not receive my picture badge yet. I had to wait 1 hr till the human resources gal showed up at 9am :eek:

I had some lots in Moon Lake finally sold them to the neighbor next door. Rough area.

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

Three Rooker is just south of Anclote. I used to fish there a lot.

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

Is it the first island, pretty small, imediately south of Anclote?

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

That was the Crystal River Group. 2 Cigarettes(38&35), 2 Concepts(36&23), a 30 Scarab and a 30 Baja. What a great weekend trip.

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

What's with all the biminis, is it hot down there :evilb:

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

It is already hot. Plus on a three day trip the sunburn can add up. On the Cigs, we use Anchor Shades. The Concepts have T Tops or Arches with tops.

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

Sea grass suxs.installing strainers this week if it stops raining.should be at the sand bar this weekend and shepards too.hope to meet up with some locals for a tasty beverage.

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

Which Sand Bar? I will be in St Pete from Thurs - Sat. Not sure how far north I will make it. I spend allot more time Clearwater to Hudson so I will probably stay from Johns Pass - south.

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

I will be down this Friday afternoon for the weekend. I can't wait to do some Gulf Coast boating. See you in a few days!

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

Hopefully we'll be able to run this weekend and come down there to have a few tasty beverages.Not sure what the island/sandbar is called but will find out.We might go to Sheppards on sat.

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

Is that place still as hot as always? One of my favorites, the women were fantastic. Great tunes. I think I poked the wife in the water one night behind Sheppards :evilb:

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

Rich post a pic of your handy-work down there. I'm about to have a couple of my docks extended/upgraded & a lift put in, so I'm curious about these things now.

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

Will do tonight.

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

Downtown, Sheppards still get's crowded on the beach. The happening place for performance boats and more mature lady's is Shell Key just south of the Don Csear by Terra Verde

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

We went to Ancote island.

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

Back from 1997-2003 I used to go to Anclote Island, The Anclote Snadbar and 3 Rooker just about every weekend. I was the ONLY performance boat around most all the time. Now that I am up in the bay this is were all of you decide to hang out now. :rolleyes: :drink:

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

Looks like we'll be at sheppards and shell island on sat. so stop on by and i'm buying first round of drinks.look for the blue A/T with the clear coat falling off and thats me.

Drive didn't make it sorry Jim.we'll be some where sun. but since i'm not driving i don't know where.chit.

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

I just spent 4 days going to Shell Island. Saw some nice boats.

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

Busted a drive on the way out of the channel on sat. so we just threw the anchor and got really drunk.Sydwayz thanks for the help.

Re: Hudson/Clearwater area.
 

Appears as though you are home safe and sound. That was a long drive.

I had a blast visiting. Thank goodness out of the 4 of us, we had one boat with little to no issues!
