I heard a few weeks ago that the restaurant had suffered a fire and would be closed for a while. Has anyone heard the status, or when they might reopen?

I hope the Restaurant is ok. Brad just started running it recently and was preparing for his first "busy" season. Love that place!

If I remember correctly, the Firehouse originally burned about a year ago, but each time I drive by, it looks like it's more burned out than the time before. If what I heard is correct, the Stingaree fire was just three or four weeks ago.

it is true, i saw it on the news last week. I think the bathrooms were totally destroyed. seems like they said they were going to try and open by memorial day.

Hmm! I ate there on the 3rd so I guess it was since then.

I had a Grouper Po-boy that was about 14 inches long. Not on the menu but it was awsome.

If you are in the Crystal Beach area, please support Brad and the Stingaree facilities. He's one of the first in our area to step up and have a designated Kayak launch ramp and parking area. These are good folks and they deserve our support.
Thanks

Has he closed the kayak ramp to PB's yet? The last time I was there I had some very angry Operators telling me to find another place to launch. I told them what for and politely explained that the ramp was a kayak ramp.

Man, they have a boiling pot that is AWESOME! And at a good price.

Where is the kayak launch? I have always used the boat launch.

The kayak ramp is across the canal from Stingaree. When you get to the Y go to the left to get to the kayak ramp. It is where the old Charpiot's Marina was.

Was there on Sunday and the restaurant does not look like it will be open this weekend.

We launched at the PB ramp. Didn't know they had one specifically for kayaks and the guy that sold us the bait didn't tell us. Good to know. We'll look for it this weekend.

I called and the telephone message said they burned on May 4th and will reopen in 4 weeks.

Mrs Preacher and I will be fishing out of Stingaree Thursday, Friday and maybe Saturday, chasing Trout and slot Reds.

The yak launch is across from Stingaree. Take a left at the Y right after you get on the road o the marina.
