Dan, glad ya had a good day out deep, great report.  That's a little farther than I like to go solo in my little 16 footer for some peace and quiet.  Gee, look's like a bomb went off at the launch site.

Yeah Martin, understand!

When I used to go solo a few times a long time ago it was at most 3-4 miles out.

 Important thing is u got out n relaxed on a super day!

Pelican texted me last night so I called him n gave him a report! He may be going today. He didn't want to solo yesterday.

Happy Easter.

Yeah launch is a mess, but it's open n free. But, fish cleaning is still closed. Reg opening time is 4/15, so maybe it will open Sat. City engineer told me sometime this summer they will replace 2 docks with new ones!

St Joe DNR launch, DNR repainted metal on docks and put all new 6x6 frames and decks! Dnr on the ball? Scarry!!!

In all my years of fishing out of there I've only used that cleaning station once.  We had a "long distance" seat filler AND I wanted to show off that 24+pounder I caught 2 years ago.  One of the many benny's of living only 14 miles from the launch.

I'm jealous u r so close to Lac Mich. 

Yep, in St Joe I have key to fish cleaning station at Pier 1000 where my son slips his boat.

I'll se d rnail to SoHa harbormaster and city eng to see if cleacning station will open Sat.

Meant to ask guy sweeping docks yesterday.

Had to double up on hangers at the sign cause they only have 10. I'll take that problem anytime.

Happy Easter to all!!!!
