Tierra Verde Marina Resort. Shell Island is about 200 yards from the canal to it.
This is Billy's Moorings right by Shell Island.

Yes, Johno, despite the viscious rumors that may be "floating" around, Outlaw is up and running and will be in the water this weekend.
The only disappointing aspect will be breaking up the "Cuda Count"
However there is now the "Outlaw Count" which may be closely monitored in the Formula Forum which now stands at 31 days.

25 ft. Outlaw is fine around here..........Just keep your eye to the East around 3pm in the summer,cause it can get real nasty fast...A great run from Tpa would be to the Sarasota Hyatt. Great marina and always perf. boats around. Even the Donzi factory tests alot of their stuff there.

Other than that....no specifics. Just want to go where the crowd is...dosen't have to be IN the bay. Just want to be able to hit lots of bars/resturants on the water.....a place like Shell island sounds cool also.
,There are a couple of other bars/restaurants on water with docks along ICW too,Smitty

Those crab traps are hell at a 100mph............I dont know why their not required to make them International Orange so they can be seen at a glimse. Some are so black they actually blend in with the water.

Sure do appreciate the tips....just makes me want to visit there even more. Thanks for the pics CUDA looks like somewhere we might try to hit while down there. Shell Island is on the agenda for sure. Any other "big" events planned other than the 4th of july Poker Run....any links to the site hosting the poker run in order to get a map of the run???

Cuda, That pic of Billies is too damn funny. (1st two pics) The 20 ft chris craft bowrider idling in to try to find a spot for lunch is me and my wife. (pre wakeboard tower on the boat). I remember that day and all the powerboaters around. Too funny how small of a world it is. Shame I am lurker and didn't know anyone to say "hello"
Shell Key is different on the Pass-A-Grill side since the summer of storms. Gonna be more crowded this summer.
