Howdy SW Ladyfish, I was just getting the information together to post on the Saltwater Forum. Seems the Veranda Inn got a wedding party at the spur of the moment that filled the motel up thru March 13 & if there aren't any cancellations; even I won't get a room just so the commute wouldn't have to be driven every day. Call the Venice Holiday Inn on N Tamiami Trail at 941-485-5411 and you MUST SAY you get "Captain Tony Petrellas discounted rate for Tight Loops Fly Fishing ". Email with your results.
