Is water skiing allowed in Western Lake

SJ:

We saw a bigger one and the FWC has sent their man back to hunt the big one down and "relocate" it. As you noted, when they've been fed they lose their fear of humans and can pose a danger.

Hopefully we'll get a photo of him as he's led away in 'cuffs.

Oooh I heard about this one.

See Smiley J? I told you there were big gators in that lake!!

Interesting. Thanks for that info. I had seen the 8 footer a couple of times, and have posted pics of him on SoWal, several months ago. Also posted pics of the two smaller gators. JDarg was describing the one big one which it sounds like the one you are describing.

I've heard of one which likes to lay out on a particular lawn along the Bay, and maybe I'll catch him getting some sun, one day soon. Gators are so fascinating to me. I doubt I'll be able to get a good pic, unless people have been feeding the gator, making it very approachable.

Lock up the chilrens!

Yes, yes, yes, you did tell me. I just hope it isn't record breaking size like you describe. A 24 ft long gator would be HUGE, indeed, and likely older than any human walking the planet.

Smartypants.:roll:

Now you are the one that has "grown" him to 24 ft!

lol. It will grow into Nessy before long, if we try hard.

Someone was telling me that the wildlife are getting bigger faster because of all the meds and hormones we flush into the water.

How's Nessie BTW? ;-)

You will have to ask Kate. It is her dream in life to see a real waterhorse.

Well, hopefully they are not being flushed into Western Lake. Some of the long-timers tell me that there are still a number of septic systems around the lake and, well, you know...

Maybe Lysergic Acid Diethylamide is seeping into the water and only the imagination of the viewer of the wildlife, is growing larger.

Whatever happened to Nessy that was in Oyster Lake? Didn't they determine it was someone's pet python? Last I heard was that a FWC guy was wearing hip waders and poking in the grass behind a local realty office looking for it.
