Alert ! AllFlorida boaters that think you have the right to have good clean family fun on the rivers , lakes , and inland waterways in the state of florida ! The Save the Manatee club has managed to sue th U.S . Fish and Wildlife Service in Federal court and Win ! , Forcing upon us ridiculous regulations and closures of popular areas . Silver Glen ? Forget it ! It,s OVER ! Now dont get angry and start doing irrational things ! Only the same logical thought and organization that got the Manatee Extremeists their success will help . If Florida boaters dont stop burying our heads in the sand thinking somebody else is going to do the work then you'll be selling your screamer for a canoe , because that will be the only approved form of boat REAL SOON ! Peace River Guy,s ,Caloosahatchee Guys , Daytona people , Tampa Bay , St. John,s River , Lake George , WE HAVE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF RESPONSIBLE BOATERS Lets DO SOMETHING ! E- Mail me ,or Log on to Standing-Watch.org ,they are the only group in the state that are doing anything ! for YOUR rights to boat freely . Thanks ,TomFoley , Member Scream and Fly !:(

Thank you for your reply Flash77, however it will be us boaters who will lose if we do not petition our local representatives and senators to stop this useless legislation. If you dont think these laws are on the horizon you are sadly mistaken. Florida Fish and Wildlife Commision along with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Commision as of August 1 Have implimented Huge ,vast changes for the St. Johns river system and it,s lakes and tributaries .The Halifax and Tomoka rivers ,The lower St. Johns river The Caloosahatchee River , San Carlos Bay are all areas that are to be DEVASTATED for recreational boating To view these areas and regulations goto http://northflorida.fws.gov Paper copies can be reqested by e-mail at manatee@fws.gov or by fax at 904-232-2404 You can also contact the FWS media contact Chuck Underwood at 904- 232 -2580 ext. 109 . Actually we have lost this round because all these changes are in the implementation process the only hope we have is to try to stop it from happenning in the Tampa Bay area and Pasco Hernando and Citrus .Renegade, Rougue behavior will only serve to discredit responsible Performance Boating .Lets think positively and accomplish something ! Thanks, Tom Foley .
