The clean up last about 3-4 hours depending how dirty the bridge is. Also, depending how many people shows up too. Usually, we finish cleaning about 12 or 1pm.

I plan on going to the Cobia Farm or Theater by the Sea http://www.theaterofthesea.com/general.admission.htm after the cleanup . I have not decided if I am staying the night to fish or not as of yet. I need to check the weather for the weekend.

Started the morning getting a late start due to getting woke up by drunk idiots in the middle of the night. FISHFACE and I met up with BOLO, CUDAMAN, and BAITWETTER at Cracker Barrel for a nice relaxing breakfast as we waited for the sun to get up and do it's job. None of us were in a rush to get to the bridge . Met up with FISHRCALLING and her friend Crytal (sp) , WHODEY, PHISHINGPHANATIC, RIJKAARD, and a surprise appearance from MOJO and family. The bridge wasn't to bad except for the few piles of human landmines in various areas. In a little over an hour we were done and happy with the end results. Overall the cleanliness of the bridge appears to be getting better each cleanup. Thanks to all those that braved the cold and windy weather to attend the event. Taking FOURWHEELANGLERS place for better late than never , IM CHUMMING and BRUNNER made a last minute appearance to make sure we had done the job to their satisfaction. Thanks again to eveyone for their continued support in this endeveaor. As always good times, good laughs, and good people .

A cold windy morning for this weekend clean up. Thank you everyone for coming out. With everyone at work we were able to clean the bridge quickly.

Our two love birds, Baitwetter and Rijaard.

After the clean up, Fishnfool gave us a quick demonstration on how to use a sabiki properly. Sabiki selection on color and size for your target bait. While the professor was giving his demonstration the misfits were up to no good.
WhoDey pretends to be interested and ask ton of silly questions which enraged our professor.
PhishinPhantic catches his first Threadfin.
Baitwetter flatline his bait and bammed, Hello Mister Black.
After the demonstration we decide to head to Outback for some lunch. What a great time and the close call for PhishinPhantic and Rijkaard had with the Squirting Dove.

Yep, a nice easy cleanup, I think the wind was our biggest helper, it was like God's leaf blower and blew all the garbage away before we got there. Fished with WhoDey and Bolo last night, it was pretty slow, unless you like nurse sharks and eels. In that case, you would have been in heaven, we just missed the catfish to complete the trashcan slam. Rob caught a nurse that actually made a squeaking noise when we had it straight up with its head out of the water...that was bizarre. Had the pleasure of waking up this morning on the bridge sharing my blanket with an eel. Thanks guys

It seems that you all had a great time. God bless you guys. Is there any boat launches near there to launch from? and are there any motels near there. I need to get away for a few days.
