Well we will be going by there ... Bruce (Dailysaw) was nice enough to offer to take us out this weekend and put my wife on some real fish.

that will give me time to get a GPS before the next weekend and sweet talk someone into some #'s

I don't recall ever NOT finding the Mass 40 years ago. Some days there wasn't a helluva lot sticking out of the water but I always found it. We didn't have LORAN C back then either. It was good for a bunch of fish most of the year.

I had shoreline ranges on a lot of good Snapper spots from P'cola on East past Navarre.

Even with a GPS it can be tricky and with wind and current, really tricky. Without a GPS, fish elsewhere. The Mass is not that good a spot overall, and not worth injury to boat or person. Just my opinion, having fished there many, many times.

The Mass has sunk down from recent and past storms. The only time the turret is out of the water is in the winter lower than normal low tides. So be careful.

Even with numbers the Mass canbe tricky, we were over the turret before we knew a couple of weeks back. Lucky it was high tide and we had about 4' of water under us. Scary as heck looking down and seeing that hugh shadow below us. Also that are at least 2 different publish sets of numbers floating around out there.

Keep our SKS. Mass is not worth selling it for a GPS. Plus, you may need it down the road if Obama is elected.
