Howdy wanna-be-pirates & fellow pirates ! If you have reservations for the Veranda Inn you're in luck, if not; they have booked the rest of the rooms for a wedding thru March 13. The Venice Holiday Inn 941-485-5411 on N Tamiami Trail is where the latecomers will have to check into. You must SAY that you get " Captain Tony Petrellas discounted rate for Tight Loops Fly Fishing ". Capt. Tony is on FAOL & has offered this to the attendees, which is fantastic considering the wedding party ! In a few weeks there will be a schedule of events emailed, or posted on this forum depending on which is more feasible. There is a very interesting type of fly fishing that occurs on the Inter Coastal Waterway that meanders thru Venice and this is night snookin'. Here's a thread to read to see if there are enough interest to have an outing, as it's all a slow speed & wake zone.
