I second the rattle fish idea, nice docks and good food. I think it is last year for it, they are going Condo......

I have never been to Mar Vista, have to check it out. I am in St. Pete with small boat though so the mouth of the bay is not always my friend.

Just wanted to check back in and say thanks for the advice. We ended up spending a day at Ebmont and a day at Shell Island. Ran up into Tampa as well.

Had a blast...

Great to hear, Jack! Glad you enjoyed the area, it has a lot to offer.
:cool:

Awesome...I have not been out in my boat in over a month...hopefully this weekend. CigDaze, you and the wifey are always invited...keep intouch.

Definitely Mike! Give us a buzz, my motors aren't back in yet and I'm jonesing. :cool-smiley-011:

.........and I was just about to hit you up for a ride this weekend.:D

I'll be over all weekend, to visit my parents, and see my niece's new baby boy.:cool-smiley-011:

Where is Passage Key ??

Just south of Egmont Key, really just a sand bar.

Just south about a 1/2 mile and look for all the nekkid people.:circle:

It's probably less than a half mile of Anna Maria Island. It's almost gone from the storms in 04, and 05. I used to fish around it as far back as 30 years ago. It was known as Bird Key back then.
