It makes sense to me to allow access to all of the dead-end canals here. But it gets cloudy, IMO, when you exit those canals into the marsh and ponds

---

Good example. My thoughts are dug canals should be open, but gate off the ponds.

As far as the Marina issue, what is the motivation behind not leasing a 100 yard stretch of waterway? just a burden on a big company? They dont need the money? the owner wants less fishing/hunting pressure in the area, so figured this should lessen the traffic?

It's still tidal and "navigable". That's what we are fighting for right? If I can float it I can fish it correct?

---

I'd have to go back and read it, but I think it says something about its defined as low tide on the lowest day 100 yards away from shore or something, not sure though

no

This would make no sense at all, legally, to allow fishing but not hunting in the same place, the same way

If thats what You are fighting for, and not willing to concede things like access to ponds that are mostly enclosed by private property then I just can't see this thing moving forward

Without knowing anything about that area, currently I would assume ALL of that is currently not navigable by law. The exeption is if the biggest canal is actually Intercoastal Canal then only it is navigable by law.

---

Yes the big one is the intercoastal

Why can't I hunt it? give one reason

"Proposed law specifies that proposed law cannot be deemed to establish a change in ownership of
the bottoms and banks of any privately owned waterway, and that no watercraft powered by a
combustible engine may be used to navigate running waters over privately owned water bottoms and
banks of waterways in such a way as to cause damage to the bottoms or banks of the waterway."

so you cant get to my duck lease in a boat and the propeller not scrape up the bottom, baw.

So all the flatbills in gatortails and bass holes won’t be able to access the ponds without breakin the law anyway, so what’s the point?

Man if continental ever decides to gate everything there won’t be many places for the public to go lol. However the fishing potential at my lease would be worth the price alone....
