I am not much help as far as a "base-camp" goes as I am 25 - 30 miles inland (Land O' Lakes) ... BUT I'd be more that willing to help out whichever coast we decide on.
Should we do an East Coast Fling, I still have the canoe and two kayaks and more than likely I could get a Hell's Bay flats boat over there.
p.s. FINALLY ... I'm going to test out the shoulder this weekend with the fly rod in my kayak. I did "play around" in the Keys in June but not much. Wish me luck!
