| Is this a family friendly kind of place? Don't get me wrong I like some antifreeze and firewood as much as anybody but am curious , would like to bring a couple of my kids 14 y.o. girl 12 y.o boy to join in. They are not sheltered but I have seen some boating related activities that would make me blush. What about toilet facilities for the ladies or anyone for that matter? thanks, Matt

What do you mean no bathrooms Konz, all you need is a shovel and a roll of TP and you can have a bathroom anywhere. It is a family friendly place and there is plenty of room to spread out a little if you want to get away from the party a little to have a little family time.

camuchi (9/29/2008)
Is this a family friendly kind of place? Don't get me wrong I like some antifreeze and firewood as much as anybody but am curious , would like to bring a couple of my kids 14 y.o. girl 12 y.o boy to join in. They are not sheltered but I have seen some boating related activities that would make me blush. What about toilet facilities for the ladies or anyone for that matter? thanks, Matt It's family friendly. Now when the sun goes down and everyone is around the fire and a little toasty (not from the fire), they may learn a few new things. Just keep them away from Bonita Dan and you'll be safe. Sorry Dan. But there is plenty of room to camp out down the beach away from the party. And like Konz said. It's either shovel and put the butt to the sand or have the porta potie on the boat as far as bathrooms go.

Hey camuchi...it is family friendly. My daughter, who just turned 15 last month will be there, along with probably Brandy's 2 daughters, 15 and 16. Also, one of the contestants in the Shark Tourney is Josh H on here, he is 15. There are many wives/girlfriends that come out, and also kids. The worst thing to worry about is language. A bunch of rowdy southern fishermen on an Island??? But it is a tame event...just lotsa noice, lauhgter, and good times among great people.
ALso...for anybody who wasnt aware...that IS the weekend for the 3rd Smei-Annual PFF Unofficial Shark Tourney!!!!!
It is only an $80 entry fee per team, weather boat fishing or land fishing.....and you could walk away with hundreds of $$$$!! Here is a cut and paste of the rules for anybody who didnt know about it.....
RULES:
Fishing can begin at 4 pm Friday. Measure-In deadline is Sunday 1 pm.
Measuring will be conducted at Fort Mcree.
$80 "donation" (thats a nice legal term since this is a public forum) per Boat (Team) due by Friday of the tournament. If you are camping and surf fishing instead of boat, ect, "Team" is limited to 4 people per entry fee, and list there names.
One winner, winner take 75% with 25% for Team with largest shark in junior angler division, 15 years old and younger. If winning shark is from a Team that does have a junior angler, than 100% of prize to that team. "Winner" is team with the largest shark measured by the deadline at fork length. ALL legal species of shark other than Nurse shark are eligable.
Entry fees can be paid up until the official start time Friday, April 11th 4 pm.
Cookout sunday (or saturday if friday nite goes well )afternoon, with some fried shark nuggets. Maybe saturday also if it turns out some of us can actually catch one of these things! $50 of the total "donation" fees will be used for oil, propane, breading, and condiments.
For a shark to win IT MUST BE MEASURED PUBLICLY at Fort Mcree. After that, you can keep the shark like a selfish bastard, or you can donate it to the cookout! Please follow Florida and Federal game laws as regards to bag limits ect., and keep in mind that you need a federal HMS boat permit to fish for sharks out of state waters (9 miles out). Cost is around $65 I think, and can be purchased online. You can bring in one shark per day.
If you do not eat shark, please make sure to keep your eligable shark in good condition and cold on the way to Mcree. There will be many people who would love to take some home if we already have enough for the cookouts. PLEASE DO NOT WASTE THESE TASTY CRITTERS! Since we are measuring length, and not weight, it would be best to gut it, and stuff bags of ice inside.
There are no angling rules other than abide by the laws. Everything else is captains choice, as regards angling methods and gear, firearms, ect. So please make sure you are aware of these laws. And yes, it IS illegal believe it or not to spearfish a shark, so I will not be attempting that.
This event is more for the purpose of having a dang good time and fryin up some shark on the beach with good friends and making more good friends than anything else. Please keep that in mind, and this will go smooth.
$80 "donation" can be mailed to:
BOSS Commercial Building Services
1333 College Parkway #110
Gulf Breeze, FL 32563
If mailing a check or money order, please make payable to "CASH". Do NOT make it payable to my business name or me!
My number is (850) 777-1221. If you would like to meet up or swing this way, I live in Gulf Breeze. After you enter, please post a post on here to that simply says "ENTERED" so we can all get exited as the prize money grows!
There are a ton of other rules that could be posted, but I think everybody knows what is ethical and proper and fair. Also mob riot will enforce any common sense rules. Such as if you bring a frozen shark you caught last month to the Measure-In, I think the mob riot will fix that stupidity. And they say you can't fix stupid!
There will be some people camping on Fort Mcree, and I will be bringing some firewood to keep a homebase fire going. I will also be taking a couple boatless anglers to McRee who will be surf fishing for the tournament.
IF YOU HAVE ROOM FOR 1 OR MORE TO TRANSPORT TO FORT MCREE TO SURF FISH AND CAMP SO THEY CAN BE PART OF THIS TOO, PLEASE SAY SO!!! Boatless anglers, speak up if yer goin out to MCree!
Before the tournament, an official VHF channel will be announced.
If called for weather, it will be rescheduled for the following weekend.
I look forward to this, and meeting more of you!
And again, it was Josh H last fall who kickstarted this thing!! Thanx man!

| Hey guys, If I can work it, I might camp on the 11th at McCrea. But I don't know anyone out there or where exactly to camp. I have been there before but not when there were alot of boats pulled into the area. I am not new to the area, I have been here for almost 3 yrs but was married for 2 of them and no boat, so I have my boat and not married anymore  . Now I am seeing and experiencing new great things about pensacola. Too bad that it is almost time for me to transfer somewhere else. I may be known on here by some, but not in person. Any ideas or advice? I would be out there probably Friday around noon-ish, I have off on Friday.

Thanks SheYakFishr. I am suoposed to go to MS and help a friend, but I don't think I can afford it, but I have plenty of gas in the boat and I live local. I would be launching from Sherman Cove so if I am there, I will have no problem helping transfering supplies to and from the launch for someone if needed.

Hey Doggie! Dont let the fact that you may not know anyone YET stop you!!! Everybody on here just about has met each other just this exact way. I have met at least 20 new people just on Fort Mcree alone!!
Everyone who shows up to these "gatherings" are the good people from off this forum. You will have a great time guarunteed!!! 
When you get to Mcree, that north side of the island is where most everybody anchors up......it is in a "cut" between mcree and Sugar Island, or whatever its called. It is a no wake zone, and protected from the winds and waves. Also, it has a very sharp drop off from the beach, it actually almost drops straight down, so it is perfect for pulling in a boat and anchoring, even for big boats.
One thing to be aware of though, is there is a very strong tidal pull, like a river, tru that cut. And it ov course changes directions with the tide. SO besides making sure your anchor is good and buried up on the beach, be sure to throw out a stern anchor behind your boat, or your boat will be sitting sideways up on the beach, or bumping into another beach since it gets pretty crowded there on nice weekends.
Really hope to see you out there man!

| I would like to have some boiled peanuts this camping trip. I can bring a large pot (holds 40 lbs of crawfish, 5 dozens blue crabs) , and propane, but my burner is set up for rapid boil and uses allot of fuel. I understand it take a couple of hours of rolling to cook peanuts, as I have never done so before. Any one wish to help on this one. I need a good burner for peanut cooking and rcommendations on where to aquire the best peanuts.

I called off the MS trip, so now I am set for this coming weekend. I will be launching from Sherman. If someone can get on base then I can bring them and gear. My boat isn't large but 18" CC which I would be able to carry still quite a bit of stuff. Anyone needs a ride let me know. If my work schedrule still stands I will be out there on Friday.
