These west coast folks get together for fishing trips on a regular basis. And I'm sure it's easier because it seems a majority of the members live near the Pacific, many seemingly in Cali.

But what about the rest of us? Would there be any interest in organizing a Gulf of Mexico charter trip that leaves from somewhere in FL? Near me would be cool but not a requirement.

Just throwing out a wild hare idea.

Jason,
My cousin lives in Destin,We have been out on this one particular party boat several times, and limited out on red snapper.
Where are you located? I am retired now in GA. and can go whenever? We also like flat fishing for speckled trout and reds. Destin has a fishing rodeo and seafood festival every October, it's a good time to be there and not so hot. The 1st offshore trip I ever went on was out of Savannah,GA. (31 years ago now), a 6 man trip 30 miles out. We caught king mackerel (on outriggers), Mahi mahi, amber jack, and barracuda.

Go for it,
shall we have a zoom meeting?

My twin brother, Bennie and I have been talking about a few East Coast fishing dates we need to put on the calendar. 

When are the runs or best time to fish there?

I live in S GA, have a place at Mexico Beach (Panama City area). Anywhere from Tampa to Pensacola is within my driving distance for GoM fishing. Heck, I've driven non-stop to Venice, LA (and back!) for a 2 day deep drop trip.
For Atlantic fishing, I can handle Cape Canaveral to Morehead City.
Be nice to get a Gulf or SE Atlantic trip together.

Well, we've reached the point of interest where the potential participants can no longer fit in a canoe. It's a start.

I'm in Tampa. There's a lot of parts of Georgia that are closer to me than Destin. That doesnt mean it's a dealbreaker if everyone else prefers that but it wouldnt be my first choice.

Admittedly I have zero deep sea fishing experience, and honestly not a ton of experience fishing from a boat in general, I'm mostly stuck on land with some kayak action for variety. which is part of why I'd like to make this happen. As such I would need to lean on someone a bit more experienced to help me pick an ideal date relative to what we'd be targeting.

It's 2.5 hrs from Mexico Beach to Destin. And 5 hrs from MB to Tampa. If Destin ends up being the departure site, you're welcome to RON at my place in MB. Both coming and going. Assuming I get invited, of course.  :)
