We have owned the red shack since the 50’s we were not associates of Punta Gorda fish co but my grandfather along with another man found ours and got the rights to it. We are the last original out there among those shacks surviving hurricane Charlie and now hurricane Ian. The memories are irreplaceable and it’s hard to beat the nights out at the shack.
That's great, I was relived to see the shacks still standing after Ian, I always admire them when I cruise by on my skiff. Pine Island Sound wouldn't bee the same without them. Those shacks are as iconic and important as any bridge, fort or other historic structure in Florida.
@@robsoler2604 I absolutely agree with you, no bias of course but they are a major part of the fishing industry history as well as SWFL history as a whole. We have been quite blessed to have it in my family for 4 generations and thankful it remained strong through yet another hurricane.
