Saturday night would be great Jon. I am bring the wife and my 13 yr old son and probably my brother and his 13 yr old girl and 16 yr old boy. We have extra tents if anyone needs one and a small generator and plenty of propane lanterns. We did it Memorial day and everyone had a blast.

On a side note if you are coming in at night remember that at low tide it gets REAL shallow

I can and will supply the firewood for the entire weekend.  I will need some help getting enough out there, but this dead monster is coming down either next week or the following week.  If I can't come Friday evening someone can come get some to take out there and more for themselves if they want it.  I am having it cut down and cut up, but not hauled away.  So if anyone is in need of firewood for the winter, come and get it after it's cut down.  There should be plenty for the PFF raftup an for others to come get.

I wont be able to make it until saturday evening but will be there.

If anyone needs a tent I have some extras.

It will be up in the air whether I can get out there either Friday or Saturday night.  Probably will only be one night though due to having someone watch our little one.  Saturday night will be easier on me due to having to work on Friday.  I have already mentioned this to my wife and she is just as excited about finally camping out there.  We haven't camped out there in about 3 years.

Jon

I probably want get to head out until saturday morning myself.

We should get someone maybe two people with trucks to load them up and come to somewhere like southwind marina area with it so we can run it back and forth from there to the island so we don't have far to go with it.

Get some people with a pass to get on the base to drive it to sherman cove. Real short boat ride.

That wouldn't give us enough room to race back and forth.

Since recent storms have filled in sand around island by ft mcrae is there still enough draft for bigger boats and enough space to beach anchor up the anticipated crowd.

Plenty of deep water and space.  But what size boat are we talking about?  The area directly in front of the fort entrance is deep all the way up to the shore.  It drops off to 8+ feet just about 8 feet from shore over there.

Clay bring some chum and lets see if we can drag a few in that night.

I wonder if I brought my halogen stand lights and generator and shone it in the water near the rocks if it would draw in the fish?

We've been wanting to go camping ourselves. Never camped out there, always at blackwater river. Is there plenty of room for tents and such? Hell, might sleep in the boat! When it gets a little closer, I'll know for sure. Like has been previously said, let us know what needs to be brought. I could transport firewood, or anything else for that matter...

Mark it on the calendar and come on out.  If you have never camped out at Ft. McRee, it's a blast.  Especially if we can get a big group out there.  There is plenty of room for tents.  This will be the first camping trip we have had with the WA and we will be sleeping in the boat.  And by November, the summer campers are gone and we should pretty much have the place to ourselves. 

I will in fact only be able to get out there Saturday and stay Saturday night.

I'm in for November 16th.  I'll be out there all Friday as well, so anyone who needs help ferrying just say the word.  Anyone who is "in between boats" but wants to go, we'll get you out there.

Alright, call me a retard, but isn't Ft. McRee just to the west of the pass? In that little cove that gets deep fast...

I just double checked on googlemaps and it says Ft Mcree is about 3 miles to the east of the pass???

Uh, that would be Ft. Pickens.

Like Litecatch said, it's on the west side of the pass.  If you are heading from Pensacola bay to the pass, you will see an inlet just north of the pass and south of Sand, Admiral, Shell, what ever you call it, Island.  If coming from the Intercostal, you stay south of the Island to come into the area.

X marks the spot for camping at McRee.

If you plan on bringing the dog, you better figure on landing and camping on the island, northwest of the red X.

That's true.  No dogs or glass are allowed on the actual peninsula of Ft. McRee.  Depending on who's on the infamous ATV doing the rounds for the park service, you could be $75.00 lighter if they catch you.
