In the park itself there are not many places you can use an
airboat if
any. The intent is to eliminate it altogether. Air boat tour
operators
who used have an exemption are losing them. Most of this is
done on
private property.
Is that because airboats are considered a nuisance or
destructive?
What would be your boat of choice for navigating the Everglades?
Salt water kayak or flats boat.
Go for it, dummy.
Lots of people do.
How many return?
I presume most of them. I still get a Florida fishing magazine, and
there are plenty of articles about fishing the everglades off a kayak or
flats boat.
It was an attempt at humor Harry.
Down the street from the house we had in Florida there was a small
business that rented canoes. It was located on a small river, actually
more like a large brook, that wound it's way for over a mile through
heavy natural growth, trees with limbs that overhung the water and
loaded with wild life. The wild life included alligators that stared
at you as you floated by and snakes that were hanging in the tree
branches. They had never had any attacks but you had to sign a hold
harmless statement before renting the canoe.
We also had a man-made small lake directly behind one of the houses we
owned. The water line was about 20 yards from the deck on the back of
the house. The lake had a resident alligator who we saw everyday as
it made it's slow patrol around the lake. I had one of those 10 foot
plastic Jon boats with an electric motor on it and I often went
fishing on the little lake. Saw the alligator a few times eyeing me
but he .. it was actually a "she" .. never bothered me.
I've previously described the events that happened one day when
another alligator tried to move in with her. The intruder didn't last
long and it happened right before our eyes.
They will run after your bait or lures.
