Happy Hunting
I used to launch from the marina and it is a pretty good ride to the gulf from there. The big fat tender manatee are up by the main springs usually. Although FWC has made a lot of the river no wake from time to time.
I just hope old Bob isn't still there or you need to watch out. He had a 45' Hatteras with the river curves programmed into his autopilot so he could ski hot women out the river and watch them rather than the river!
