Dickman, between the Ruskin Marina and Mangrove Point, the Bahia Beach Yacht Club became operational in either 1965 or early 1966. This was not a formal, members only yacht club. There were no annual dues and an honorary membership was given to anyone who tied up their boat at the boat docks at Bahia Beach. The first mention of the Yacht Club in Tampa papers was in June 1966 when the 800th honorary member, Captain Johnson of Bradenton and a fishing captain operating out of Cortez, was featured in the June 25, 1966 edition of the Tampa Bay Times.

One fall day, according to the story told at the Showman's Museum, the couple stopped their trailer by the Alafia River, in the sleepy village of Gibsonton, for what they thought would be an hour's rest. Eddie cast a fishing line in the water and immediately caught several fish for dinner that night. Moments later a group of locals came walking toward the trailer and the couple figured this would be the end of their stay. But the townspeople greeted them warmly and ever since, Gibsonton has been a gathering place for local show people. Pictured is Eddie at his restaurant, Eddie's Hut, in 1939, located on what is today US 41, in Gibsonton, slightly north of the today's Gibsonton Road.
