dinner at 6 PM ???? what are we all seniors or something....lol....I figure its gonna be dark about 7 pm ish that time of year.
keep one thing in mind when voting, those of you who plan to run WAY OUT and fish would not get much fishing time in before you have to run ALL THE WAY back in for lunch >>>
the rest that are just going to swim and play around the Crystal River area is about 7-8 miles long, a lot bigger than Lake Griffin, so if you go back into Kings Bay and the springs, about half the ride at that time of year is Idle cause of the Manatees, so figure about an hour just to get back to the park for lunch, so if you get a late start ......not much time on the water....I voted for dinner
that is the same reason breakfast was mentioned. the cooks get up a little early, get it started and we are away and fishing for the day. the Mod, cooks, organizers, can enjoy the day also. rather than coming in in the middle of the day, to prepare a meal.
after a day on the water, everyone is tired, who wants to coming and cook.
at Lake Griffin, i got out on the lake only twice, for about 20 minutes each.
We although wanting to boat some are going primarily to meet everyone that we meet out here in person. We can go out and fish anytime at home or wherever we are with the boat. We can not meet you all in person and socialize when we are not together.
I do need to ski and tube in salt water for a change though !!!
Still working on more door prizes from my suppliers. Got 10 so far but I am not telling what they are other than they are all boating related.
I voted Breakfast, that way when it is done all can go fish, boat whatever they want with out having to be back at a certain time. I will go with what the majority wants and it looks like either 2 or 6 at this time.
We voted dinner but will go with the flow of everyone else. 7:30 is a bit early for a saturday as I am not a fisherman. But I would rather get up early and get to meet and socialize with everyone if thats what we do. Very excited about this one. Love Crystal River area.
