I used this place about 4 yrs ago before I moved down. We came down camping and went out fishing. We had the Grady white bowrider. Weren't supposed to go in the gulf. Whoops. Lol. Get at least a plotter for iPad or phone as in the icw I always have signal so it will help keep you in line. When I rented they didn't have any plotters on boats. You did get a waterproof chart though. Let me know when your coming if I'm home ill help ya out with stuff

Thanks for the link! The Cobalt or GW would be perfect for what I'm looking to do and the rates are reasonable.

Since I'm home all day a day out on the boat bullchitting would be fun.

Jim, I really appreciate that offer. Hell, I'd pay for gas, drinks, food, bail money (if the women get out of control :coolcowboy: ), etc. I hate to put people out, though.. I'll PM yuo when the date gets close (flying in April 9th) to see what your schedule is those 5 days we are down there (staying at the Pink Shell). I have no problem renting a boat and just tagging along with a group if people are out and about during that timeframe.

Pink shell is a great place. Beautiful. I won't be home that week, just checked my schedule. I will help with any info I can though.

For those looking pm me and I will give you my address and approximate times out to everything. Then you can look it up and see how you want to proceed.

Like Mike said the Pink Shell is nice, especially since they've remodel it, don't feel obligated to hop on our boat, I know sometimes you may want the freedom to go wherever, we've been up and down the Gulf many times and love getting in the boat, so keep it in mind that you're welcome aboard when you get down here, we take folks out all the time.

I appreciate the offer, Jim. I'd love to be shown the ropes by a local. I just want to make sure I am not inconveniencing anyone.
