The local fishermen don't hold a lot of love for the Manatees it seems. My buddy, who lives off the St John's river in DeLand, has so many no wake zones around him it takes 30 or 45 minutes to go a couple of miles. Some of the guides have been fined numerous times trying to get their clients to a spot without taking all day. Kind of a Catch 22. I understand the problem with the props hitting and injuring or killling the Manatees, but it is frustrating to go 3 miles at idle speed.
We have watched them in the clear springs and they are cool to see.
