Hey guys and gals ! Looking at putting a run together for this summer and maybe early fall. We have done some leg work already looking into dockage and lunch stops. Who would be interested? We are closing in on having our 38 gun completed. Looking at a 3 or 4 stop run. If we had a small entrance fee we could do some prizes and some shirts. Just looking to get some boats together and hang out. There’s so many cool runs in Florida why not up here ? We have some really nice places on the lake to explore. Any interest? Would like 20 boat minimum.

Huron / kelly’s island / put in bay / Sandusky/ clam diggers / there is so many good places I figure I can put together enough interest I can map it all out. Also want to put together a Miami to Bimini run for a few days june 2024 with some northern boats. We have a good in at the Hilton over there can arrange some docks and rooms!

Yea I’m aware of them they do a few events. I would also like to adventure out and do some farther runs. I’ve had a few boaters reach out I have ran a few of the other events as well.

Eric - Thunderfest is beginning of August this year.

We usually put something together for Mid-August and some Cig owners come in from various states. Home base being PIB. You could also do State Docks overnight at Middle Bass, might be a change of pace.

For your planning - I would leave out Hidden Beach Bar for a stop - owner / marina master doesn't appreciate loud boats, or Kelly for that matter....

For a Sandusky based Run - I would add: Cleveland or Toledo as a destination trip, Lorain as a stop, possibly even Pelee if you can coordinate it (Canada)

Lots of options. BTW - ours is more "unofficial" sounds like you are trying to start an actual run, we do not clear our stops with any "host" bar.

Is anyone here going to be doing the 1000 islands or Kingston Poker run this year.. I'm new to the poker run scene and would like to meet up with some more experienced folks. I'm on the Canadian side out of Belleville.

EvilTwin

yes I plan on doing the Kingston run and the 1000 islands (Clayton) run.
