We’re planning a Paddle-In for Saturday, May 19, 2012.
The launch will be the rest area at the south end of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and the meeting spot will be the small sand island about a quarter mile east of the launch.
A Paddle-In is a gathering of folks with a common interest in paddling and fishing. It’ s a very informal get together. Get there when you get there, leave when you leave. As the day gets closer we may have rounded up volunteers to grill some burgers and dogs out on the island or it may be a BYO affair. Check the post on the forum for more details.
This is a great chance to put forum names with real names and faces.

We had a great day with 62 anglers competing in The Mystery Lure sponsored by Riptide
See complete results here….
Riptide has graciously stepped up to be the sponsor for “The Mystery Lure”. While contestants will not know specifically which lures they will get on the morning of the event, they do know they will be getting a fish catching assortment from a well known Florida-based manufacturer.
Here’s how The Mystery Lure works. You show up at the sign on the morning of the event with as many fishing rods as you’d like. You should bring no lures, weights, corks, etc. with you. Just rod, reel, line and leader. After you sign in, we will hand you the lures you will use for the day. Everyone gets the same lures.
The sign in post has been posted today. Due to the nature of this event, we have to limit the number of contestants to 65. It is first come, first served.
