I talked to a good freind today that lives on the rim canal at Lakeport. His boat house is high and dry the boat lift sitting on the bottom. If you do go thru the lock to the main lake you get out and walk, not even airboats can get out. For those that know of the "monkey box" area it is mostly just inches deep. This is caused by a draught in the whole area.
He and a buddy have been going down to the everglades and catching over 200 Oscars a day there is no limit. He say's the Gators are everywhere looking for water.
And we thought we had it bad on Cumberland.
