From The Florida AirBoat Association web site:

Our public water access rights are under a serious attack by local governments. Once again, development-oriented county commissioners have slapped us in the face. In Osceola County, they have gone so far as to ban alligator hunting by airboat after 11 p.m. on both East Lake Toho and West Lake Toho.
To add insult to injury, they went so far as to even deny us our right to speak at a public meeting.  Dozens of Airboaters, NRA members and other conservationists and sportsmen were locked out of the decision-making process because we were not allowed to speak during the public hearing.

By breaking their promise about gator hunting, the Osceola Commission has now placed a year-round airboat restriction/curfew on these two lakes. Of course, all other type of vessels may hunt at any time during gator harvest season.

To read more about the action they have taken on our behalf please visit their site @ http://www.floridaairboat.org
