Absolutely! Bonafide American Crocodiles. I just read of an incident a few years back where a state park ranger at John Pennekamp State Park in Key Largo was out with his girlfriend on the gulf coast side of the island at 9pm about 1/4 mile off shore on Kayaks to watch the fireworks. Croc came up and took a junk out of his girl friend's kayak. No warning before the event.sure about that?
Nope! endangered species.well I'll be... I'm an uninformed northerner I guess. I have never heard of them only alligators. is there hunting of crocs like gators?
I've had a few experiences with water moccasins just like that. they get AGGRESSIVE when it's hot outThe only reason I knew about them is that I grew up there and lived near the swamp. 5'-8' rattle snakes (eastern(the biggest) Timber (still big) and pygmy < 2') are the norm. Coral snakes, and Cotton mouths are also very common. I actually had several close calls as kid with cotton mouths. I caught a bass and was reeling him in when I noticed the cotton mouth following the fish. He followed him right up the bank! I started to run dragging the fish behind me until it fell off the lure. Came back a little later and the snake and the fish were gone,
Yeah new boats are more than I paid for material when I built my house in 13. Of course trucks are to that point too. Living is expensive lolI rented a pontoon boat for $300 for a day. When I brought it back I asked how much and the lady told me $65k!!!! I mean granted it was brand new but it doesn't even have a hull! It's two steel tanks and when I swam under you can see the floor is plain, unfinished, unpainted plywood!
Not to mention trailer and or docking fees.
Yes! South Florida is alive! More bugs and creatures than you can count. The cotton mouths used to literally cover the road (road kill) on the Tamiami Trail.I've had a few experiences with water moccasins just like that. they get AGGRESSIVE when it's hot out
