Big Cliff Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 I'm tired of winter and thinking a road trip to Myrtle Beach for some pier fishing (Apache Pier) might be a nice way to spend a bit of time. Daytime temperatures are running between 10 and 17° C so it would be a lot better than here. I was thinking of leaving Lindsay around Monday the 5th and being back home around the 12th (I'm flexible). I'll provide transportation (2018 Corolla) and pay for fuel, you pay for your own food and out of pocket expenses we can share accommodations. (A nice clean room with hot breakfast off the beach is typically about $50.00/ night + tax. If you are interested let me know.
crappieperchhunter Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 Can't swing it this winter Cliff....but next winter when I'm retired and the boss is still working....I'd be all over this offer. Somebody take this man up on his offer. You WILL have a great road trip. Safe travels and good luck fishing Cliff.
ketchenany Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 I'm in the same boat as Crappie Cliff. I'm off Fridays if later this month you want to try Hales?
bigugli Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 What an offer! I should be all over this, but I'm taking the grandkids on a trip the week after.
grt1 Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 jeeze , i wish i lived closer, i'd be in to take the trip (might have to fib to the wife about my whereabouts though)

I hope this kicks this back to the top so you get someone for that needed trip in the south. BTW have you thought of a trip to Vegas instead. Many people go there stag and it's much cheaper then you would think.

Many people go there stag and it's much cheaper then you would think. Totally understand my friend, standing on a pier reeling in fish for a couple of days would probably be more than that shoulder could take anyway! I am actually thinking of doing a road trip to Arizona in a couple of weeks, I've always wanted to see the Grand Canyon and take one of the mule tours right down into the canyon, that sort of thing. I may be delaying the Myrtle Beach trip for a few days, they are calling for a storm coming in tonight and into tomorrow. since it looks like I'm going solo this trip it really doesn't matter when I leave anyway.
16 Footer Posted February 4, 2018 Report Posted February 4, 2018 Lots to see in Arizona The Grand Canyon is a great place, we drove there in 2011 in August and had a great time. At this time of year the south and north rim parks will be closed for winter until April or May, 5000 ft elevation. South Arizona should be much warmer.
crappieperchhunter Posted February 4, 2018 Report Posted February 4, 2018 Cliff if you do the Grand Canyon I highly recommend a fly over package. Been to "Lost Wages " twice. First visit we did the fly over in a Cesna I believe....3 of us plus the pilot and our second trip it was the only thing I insisted that I do again. And if I ever go again I will be flying through the Canyon again. Another thing I have always wanted to do in Vegas. They use to have a barber shop called "A little off the top" All the girls who cut your hair where topless. That ones still on my bucket list

From what I have been reading there is still lots to do on the South rim even this time of the year, I was sort of thinking of heading that way about the end of Feb. early March, do you think I'd be better of delaying it to April/May?

Check the Grand Canyon Park web site for opening dates and info. April/May should be a better time to go. Lots of other places to see in north Arizona.
Mister G Posted February 4, 2018 Report Posted February 4, 2018 April is a GREAT time to be in the Vegas area. We've been there 15 years in a row and almost all in April.........haven't been there for 2 years now but going back this April. Temps are in the high 70's or low 80's at that time of year.
