coment on where are your favorite or your go to spot on Florida
 
Icw from Mayport south to St Augustine is a fantastic run just stay in the channel and the old Fort is Awsome to see from the the water. Plenty of beaches along the way to stop and explore and Lots of friendly boaters.
 
Suwannee River, Santa Fe River and the Ichetucknee River are where we hangout in the summer. Lots of springs, sandbars and beaches.
 
This weekend is going to be pretty nice out here in Florida is there anyone going out this way or any lake rides please reach out.
 
The Tampa Bay area is great. Lots of launch options
1. Gandy to see the upper bay, eat at Bahama Breeze, cruise under the 3 bridges.
2. De Soto to see Egmont and passage key or Anna Maria.
3. Davis Island to see downtown and Beer Can Island.
4. Lowry park to see Hillsborough river.
 
Next time you plan to go to the water will like to tag along if it's cool.
 
The Keys... lived in Cape Coral for 2 years then the Keys for 2... there's really nowhere comparable. Have been wintering, boating and fishing in the keys for almost 20 years from Tavernier to Marathon to the Lower Keys and Key West. If you ever get a chance to snorkel Looe Key Reef you will know what I'm talking about!
 
I have a lot of family in the Cape. I’m from Lauderdale born and raised.
 
Plenty of sandy beaches from Tarpon Springs South.

I floated by Passage Key on Friday too. It was around 12:30 or so. Beautiful day!

We don't normally go there since we have Kids and you never know how nude the place will be, but the water there was crystal clear this weekend!

If you floated by a 1230 or so we were there on the bay side of the key, I did see a Yamaha on the gulf side while we were there....only saw a couple nudies on that side of the island...we normally try to head to Jewfish but the water was just choppy enough to make the quick run to Passage Key, where do you normally put in at?

I put in at the Braden River boat ramp most of the time. We spent the morning at Egmont and then just circled passage key on the way back. We went around it on the side nearest Bean point and then headed back towards the Manatee.

We normally drive down to Jewfish too when we have a group, but the ride out to Egmont was great that day.
