May's gonna be a ride the weekend of the Quiet Airboat Competetion in the Seminole County area of the St. Johns.
No word yet on June or July. Any ideas for the next direction?
I wouldn't mind Melbourne or the glades for one or both of them if the water is up by then.
Speaking of low water - At Loughman in October (Hurricane Wilma) the water was only an inch away from going inside the restaurant - the guage read 9.35 feet. That same gauge is reading 1.66 feet!!! That's the lowest it's been in a long time. The riding is pretty good out there when the guage is above 4 feet.
This is the guage:
http://waterdata.usgs.gov/fl/nwis/uv?dd ... o=02232500
(it's located on the north side of the bridge where Hwy 50 crosses the river)
Scooter - ya know what days in July you'll be here? I've never been on a ride where there were not some empty seats.

Ya know there is always Lake Hernando

Yep. But the best airboating is in the Herando (town, not county) part of the lake. Big lake for sure.barhopper":w3qfb635 said:
You're right Mudpuppy. Nice ridin' out there. How has that area been affected by the low water season? Probably not too bad since that lake has all the dams thruout it.
I'd go for a June or July ride there too.

Tim, I'd love to see your place some day, but I heard last night on the news that we can expect $4.00 a gallon gas by June.
We'll all be playin closer to home soon if somebody doesn't get a handle on that.

Thanks Scooter ..... neither of us have ever been to Nebraska, but I've never met anyone from there I didn't like. We might just fly out there one of these days for a long weekend.
If I find a deal on tickets, I'll post it. Might get a few other SAO people together for it ..... that would be fun.
Tim owes me some 'whisker' fishin on the Platte. Very old thread.

Tim, this Summer is toast for us. Way too much goin on, but we'll take a hard look at early Autumn when we get a little closer.
When does your leaf change begin ..... mid Sept. ?
All right, SAO .... the man said come out and ride the Platte river with him. Campfires, new friends, longnecks on the Platte River. Cat fishin'. Think about it. Might be very cool to see another man's river when the leaves are startin to change and the campfire feels real good when the sun goes down. Let me hear from some of you later on if that sounds like a Fri.- Sun. trip on a silver bird to Omaha.
Tim, did you try those nitrile rubber gloves on Whiskers?

have not tried the gloves,
This last summer I was busy building our home on the river.
Did not do much fishing last year, and this year has been so busy I have not got a line wet yet.
May I am going to be hopefull most of the mornings.
Leaves start turning around the end of Sept.
My wife and I are planning a trip down to Florida around the middle of Nov, do you guys airboat then?
