Water condition?

[Aucilla]

Been a while, y'all! I'm stirred to wanna wade fish Alligator Harbor like I used to do before every hurricane. But I am worried about bacteria in the water.... I'm talking wading out to chest deep and maybe spending a few hours out there, with shoes on of course. Is the water full of really bad bacteria thanks to development and a lot of rain? We probably don't know, but opinions are cool. I went plenty of times, and during those times rarely would see someone got the flesh eating bacteria there; but I never did lol.

haha..... Yeah, I have fished there many many times, wading out or climbing out of my boat, on the Hiway 98 side. But it has been at least five years for me..... Way back in the day, I used to go down there and wade fish a day or two before every hurricane; and I'd catch what I called my "hurricane redfish" and do up a report on here. I would kid myself that the pressure drop or seeing all the people driving the other way towing boats out of the area must have made it lucky. After I while I figured I was catching almost everytime a hurricane was coming was because that was when I went fishing! Gettin' the bug again....
