RE: Campgrounds in SW Florida with Gulf Access

Avan has a great suggestion with Outdoor Resorts in Choko. One thing to think about staying there is navigating the waters around there. It's wickedly shallow with more oyster bars than you can shake a stick at. I'm not trying to scare you but it's something to think about. You can navigate with the pontoon ok as long as you know where to go. The skeg on my flats boat has plenty of battle scars:B
The whole SW coast has sand bars and oster bars. I see you stayed at Upriver so you are aware of the problem. It is one of those thing that as long as you are aware you will be fine.
I have looked for the same thing that you are looking for and have also stayed at Upriver. The big problem is finding a place that is resonable close to the Gulf. Like Upriver it is along ride to the Gulf. We end up leaving the boat on the trailer and launch out on Pine Island.

RE: Fishing

The petition that I referred to was geared toward Senior Citizens over 62 yrs of age. Surely some must think that at some age you have paid your fair share of fees and taxes, I have no children in school but I pay the same as others. JMO...
You may have paid your fair share in the state you live in, but as mentioned, you license money goes toward support that state fishing. If you don't want to pay for a license you are probably are not all that serious of a fishing person.
And being you brought it up, we all benifit from education weather they are your kids or some one elses.

RE: Fishing

I hate to get in these debate but you either misread or mis understood the artical.
Quote, Any resident fishing in the county of his or her residence with live or natural bait, using poles or hand lines without a reel or other line retrieval mechanism (cane pole), for noncommercial purposes.
This dose not apply to what we where discussing here.

RE: Fishing

Most states will let you fish without a license with a cane pole.
BobI don't beleive this to be true. I fish in a lot of differant states and have never found this to be true. To name a few that this don't apply, Fl.,Al. Utah, Col, Nev, Az,Il, Oh,and Alaska.
The money that you spend on a fishing license goes back into the sport, so why do some of you object to it so much??

RE: Fishing

Not sure I understand what you are getting at. You BUY the proper permit or take a chance of being fined.

RE: Running from Fay or staying put?

The 4 or 5 times that I have been down there when a hurrican hit, I would leave if ask to evacuate.If you are ask to leave and you don't , I can see where the insurance company may not have to pay if you had damage.

RE: Taking two truck spaces at Flying J

Truck stops were never meant as a camp ground. If you have to have your slides out you belong in a campground.

RE: Walmart

Yep, it's them darn truckers again.
Just who do you think that should support the FREE CAMP SITES you want. Maybe you could go around to the local business for donations.Or maybe the folks that use them mighyt support them. Oh that's right they want a free ride.

RE: Easiest way to locate monthly rates on CG's?

The only ones that are normally advertise their monthly rate are the parks that cater to snow birds. We tend to stay in small parks the rest of the year and never have a problem finding monthly rates. Right now we are stay at 6000 ft between 2 mountain ranges for $400 amonth full hookup .

RE: Should they be towing a Camper

May be we could solve problems like this by writing our congressman, asking for a law to force us to go through the scales and DOT inspections. I'm sure that would do a lot of good.

Why some of you persist in calling it triple towing is beyond me . To triple tow you must tow 3 vehicals. Every time this subject comes up we get some really mis imformed answner.

RE: Next depression? Long read, Canadian columnist.

We are witnessing one of Americas problems. Many of us don't realize that there are others in this world and it is as much their world as it is ours. If we had listen to the rest of the world we wouldn't be in this dumb war that is bankrupting the country.
