I have caught a few gar, but thus far no Alligator gar, but there are likely some here in this lake.

That’s how I fish the Everglades, and the gators never bothered me, except when the little ones hit my surface lures, getting the hook out is tricky.
But I am really keen on trying a kayak…risk/reward…I have to decide

Worst I’ve had to unhook were big old snapping turtles lol. I’m very happy there’s no alligators here to worry about while fishing. Just snakes and snappers.

Now those bastards frighten me, I have run into big Alligator snapping turtles, and I always high tail it.

This is the dock before
Day after Milton, the dock was beyond those bunched up lilly pads, you can see the boards floating in the very full lake

Get one of those fishing paddle board deals. Everyone I know back home that runs charters or commercial for work has switched over to those for when they’re just going out to have some fun. Some of them have little motors on them too. They all love them and tell me how they’re actually safer regarding sharks and gators. They mostly use them in the Gulf though.

Well maybe not quite as big as that giant since they’re mostly common snappers lol. Here’s one of the ones I accidentally caught that I had a picture of.

They got kahunas those snapping turtles. I have several that come out sometimes, in particular the alligator snapping turtles. I once caught one, and coming from behind it, it kept trying to turn around to confront me lol. The alligator ones are really cool looking; like mini dinos.
