Bubba B Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 I usually order my own (50 Lbs bags) and have it on hand, but I wont get a chance prior to going on my Family Vacation on Don Pedro Island. I will be coming North on I-75 from Fort Lauderdale and exiting at the Kings Highway Exit (Port Charlotte) before taking Veterans Blvd , El JoBean,, and thru Placida to the Palm Island Ferry. I will be dropping my boat at the Placida Ramp... Are there any locations along the way I can pick up a few Gallon ziplocks bags full on a Saturday??? I would prefer not to get a 50 Lb bag, but will if its a stop close to one of these roadways... Thank you in advance... Bubba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFD rtrd. Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 There is a bait and tackle shop on Placida Rd. just south of Englewood (Fisherman's Edge). Jim, the owner use to carry 1 gal. baggies of the stuff, 941-697-7595. If you can't find any locally, send me a PM and I'll meet you somewhere. I always keep plenty on hand.

justdriftin Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 I put in buckets with those twist in lids. If you pack it in you can get almost a full 50lb bag in a 7 gallon bucket. Or easily get a bag in 2 5s. Good for storage and easy to put in the back of the truck for multi day trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redrum Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 you can purchase 50LB bags at Crackers, Feed & Ranch Supply, LLC Punta Gorda fl east of I 75 on Hwy 17 aka Duncan rd for 34 bucks including tax. They have both kinds of chow. Won't be out of your way much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasparilla Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 @Bubba B we stay on LGI, toward the south end; I also stay in Englewood most of the summer, but fish out of Placida. I'll pm you my cell - always good to meet a fellow MBC owner . . . I'll throw a couple of extra bags in just in case . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba B Posted August 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Thank you guys for all the information and offers. I will be in a PF2200V with a light Blue Hull, and with a Thin-Blue Line/American Flag decal on the rear hull where the Pathfinder decal is usually affixed...I will be on Don Pedro Island on the beach side with my boat docked on the Lagoon Side...Loading up now for the trip across Alligator Alley! (The Signature picture below was when I had a wrap on the boat. I have since removed it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
