PICKUP LOCATIONS
1. We commonly use the Stan Blum Boat ramp at 613 N. Causeway Dr. Fort Pierce, FL, 34949.  http://www.stlucieco.gov/beaches/21.htm
It is located off Hwy A1A in Fort Pierce, on your way over to N. Hutchinson Island, just east of the Little Jim Bridge.
2.  Black Pearl Boat ramp which is located adjacent to the 12A Buoy Restaurant.  The address is 22 Fishermans Wharf, Fort Pierce, FL , 34950.  It is at the base of the South Bridge in Fort Pierce(on the left) just off Seaway Drive.
3. The third ramp, that is seldom used, is located a bit west of the Stan Blum ramp.  If you are coming from the mainland, take the North Causeway over the draw bridge, the ramp is on the left in the North Causeway Island Park. The address is 500 N. CAUSEWAY DRIVE.
4. Option #4 is one that I participate in more often than you might think . . . I'll pick you up at your dock on the bay.  Whether it is at a hotel dock like the Hutchinson Island Resort or Dockside Inn or at your private home's dock, I'll be there on time.

WHAT TO BRING
It is recommended to bring a hat and sunglasses along with sunscreen any time of the year. However, please don't apply spray on sunscreen while on the boat, it stains the white gel-coat and is hard to remove. Cell phones usually do the trick for your photos. (Capt. Tims' tip #2- I've seen clients loose some big fish because they were talking or texting while fishing). Light colored soles are appreciated as to not mark the boat deck. A wind breaker or rain gear is suggested, any time of year.

I'll bring some water, but feel free to bring beverages of your choice.  I prefer an alcohol free boat, but respect your right to relax at the end of the trip with a beer while I clean your catch.

Most people bring snacks or something for lunch.  I normally bring granola bars if you don't have time to stop at the convenience store.  I am fluent with Francais and pretty good with Espanol also.

WHAT NOT TO BRING
Spray on sunscreen can stain the boat and is very difficult to remove. Please choose another form of sunscreen protection - Thanks!
