Started this thread a while back to see if any of you guys would be interested in it.

After some talk with others, we came to the conclusion that taking troops out fishing a couple hours out at Short Stay (Lake Moultrie), and then tying up for a BBQ/fish fry would be better for the weather. Trying to pick a particular date for the ocean is about a 25% chance of the seas cooperating.
Gonna shoot for June 1st. That is when a lot of people that have been deployed for a long time are coming back from overseas.
email me at rumrunner21@gmail.com if you would like to have a good time, and hear some good war stories. Just send me your name, boat type, registration number (for DNR fishing waiver), how many troops you can take, and phone number.
I think the easiest way instead of having a blast off, would be pick a time you would like to head out fishing and i will give you the troops phone numbers. You can call them and give them a time, and rules of your boat. I will be there early to get you in the gate at Short Stay if you plan on using the Ramp there, and help everyone launch their boat.
I’ll have a small pontoon, and my W/A off the beach of Short Stay with grill fired up at noon till everyone passes out. Will have some cheap Walmart scales to weigh fish… but this is not a hard core tournament, will try and get some small prizes, and the troops days off for heaviest, longest, fatest fish, etc.
Will also have a big fryer to fry up fish, if any are actually caught.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and please spread the word to others! If you don’t fish, come on out and pull a couple guys around on tubes, and have a beer. Most of them are in need of a good time, since they all may be going to Korea soon (assumption)!
If anyone would like to donate any prizes, beer, moon shine, etc let me know. Or if u need any help for the event… getting a boat running, fix trailers, etc, will be happy to help out. We need boa
