this was done mainly by hand and wading out a heavy homemade rake with a chain and pulling back in with my truck

Sure looks like a lot of work. Hope you had a helper.

Having spent time in Florida....first thing comes to my mind...gators ? Snakes and maybe even a Yeti....yikes...courageous to wade into that....lot of work. Looks a lot better.

Florida does NOT have Yeti's! :D Well, ok, there is a Yeti at Animal Kingdom at Disney World but it seldom works so it does not count. :laughing: I thought everyone knew that FLA does not have Yeti's.

FLA has Skunk Apes. :D:D:D:D

I'd be interested in seeing that "heavy homemade rake ".



metal tee with tire tools about 1 foot apart and a chain at the other end. It is no longs one piece

Help. First half of the day was me with my 12 year old boy as the driver. Second half day my daughters 20 year load BF showed up and was stupid enough to ask if he could help.... I worked him like a rented mule

cleaned about a 50' wide area about 150' long

Permits???
Holy crap they'd skin me alive if I did that here! I can't walk past a vernal pool in Maine and FART & someone is on my backside.
Is that a gator or beaver swimming away in the upper right hand side?

Permits??? I DON'T NEED ANY STINKING PERMITS lol besides it is always easier to get forgiveness than permission LOL

OK for real I did check and I can clear 50 of shoreline without a permit as long as it is not more than 1/2 my shoreline

Nice work, I have family in Polk County. First thing that came to my mind was gators! Dang if I would have waded out there.

Gators never have really worried me as I know how to handle them unless they get too big. cotton mouth snakes on the other hand to tend to make me watch what I am doing

I guess your Daughter will find out if that boy really loves her or not. Usually the threat of manual labor gets rid of the lazy ones. Your cleanup job looks good.
