[Apr 27, 2012] FloraBama's Interstate Mullet Toss & Gulf Coast's Greatest Beach... (Pensacola, FL)

The Flora-Bama Lounge is host to a number of annual and one-time local events. Perhaps most famous of these festivities is the Annual Interstate Mullet Toss, where individuals compete on the beach throwing a mullet from a 10 foot circle in Florida across the state line into Alabama. Not only is the Mullet Toss a great excuse to throw a weekend long party, but contributions are made to local charities, mostly to youth organizations. Winning throws approach distances in excess of 150 feet and the event is always held in the last full weekend of April (exception 2011, Moved to last April 29th-May 2nd).

Its getting closer now.....

I was living down that way this time last year and had a great frickin' time at the Flora Bama on multiple occasions - including Mullet Toss weekend. I recommend the Bushwhackers (basically just the Bama's take on a frozen mudslide). Plenty of condos and places to stay down there - unfortunately can't recommend any since we always stayed with a few buds who lived right next to the waffle house across the street from the Bama. If your nearby for this one and haven't been before definitely check it out though.

What did you do down there?

I was in pilot training down there at NAS Whiting Field in Milton FL (just north of Pensacola) at the time - spent about a year and a half down there. We had a friend who had fallen out of pilot training for the Navy and lived in Perdido while he was in the process of trying to redesignate, so we used to crash at his place from time to time on weekends.

Closer now.....

Less than a week away...

You fellas got any last minute tips for mullet toss? anything i need to know?

Cash only at FloraBama. See you there, WB.

I hate cash only...I can sometimes get a certain bartender at the top bar to take my credit card

Old Salt where you staying
Just hit town

we stayed at the mariner on perdido key...bout a mile east of the bama.
awesome mullet toss btw..

So how far did y'all actually throw em?

Salt, were you sporting a Flag (couldnt tell if it was USA or Texas) short short bathing suit?

Some girl in our group was like "look at that guy's shorts!" and I turned and looked and it appeared to be you. It was from a distance and I wasnt sure. I walked over towards that area later to get a better look but the flag bathing suit was nowhere to be found.

I had a great time though. Was set up in front of the Florabama during the day and spent each night there. Good times.

I was totally confused by Rocker's autograph signing, but I think Swig needs to make an OldRow Speak English t-shirt. Opportunity to sell more than John Rocker.

Ha....ya that was me man. TX flag shorts. we were on the beach till about 4 or 5 then went across the street to a crawfish boil and a quick booze cruise on my buddies boat.

Goes by too fast.

Swig, mind altering the date on this?

Who's going this year?

Im there bro...lookin forward to it.

We should rendezvous and revel in our good fortune.

Cya at the ring toss Saturday afternoon?
