Trip Description - This is 4 day trip out of Clerk's Bait Shop, 7th Street, Port O'Connor.
Departing Thursday April 4th from Clerk's Bait Shop, returning Sunday April 7th. Note this is a 4 day event.
We request that you must be a current PACK member. Dues and Waiver complete. Depending on how many participants will determine how many boats needed. This is shell camping similar to Panther Point. Try to bring only what is needed and check with other members if they are bringing things like table, stoves, pots, etc to share if they are agreeable. We may need an extra boat just for all the Gazelles !!!
We may try to have group meals which will require a few people to bring some additional stuff but that also means others will not need to bring as much food. This will be advised closer to final dates.
We will watch the weather as the date gets closer to see if the trip would need to be postponed to another day and time.
