I have mixed emotions.
The waverunners B. Phillips talks about is one group. And one from that group is there EVERY weekend. I agree. I have a boat and am nearly there every weekend. Sometimes i drive on Alabama side because i do drink. I’ve posted signs along the river such as “why bring a glass bottle to the river” and “got trash bags”. This guy who rents canoes and kayaks profiting on public land should issue trash bags. I pick up at least two big bags per week. I learned to swim Perdido and love it. I prefer seclusion which is why i go north of Barrineau. But get ready, Alabama has made 20 miles of trails and plan to build pavillions on many sandbars for rent to canoers = more people. I take my whole family and we drink but we’re not stupid. I pick trash up because i don’t want fools to ruin it. By ruin it, i mean FWC patrolling. They care not, it’s all about revenue. When they start patrolling, is when my boat gets registered and put in on Alabama, so they can’t harras me on the water. Alabama don’t have the resources or desire to ticket people to death.

Great job officer ! I live on the river and talk to a lot a really nice people floating it but sometimes it’s really sad to see a large group come by that are drunk, talking their stupid talk, their trash floating in the river with them, wanting to bum cigs. and beer. Sometimes their trash floats by before they do. I thank the FWC for doing what they do to keep Perdido River as family friendly as possible. Sure wish something could be done about the more and more presents of Wave Runners on the river. It’s just not the place to mix a high speed watercraft with tubers and kayakers, someone’s is going to get hurt or killed one day. The river can be perfectly clear and when the wave runners start running up and down it all day it stays muddy almost to the point that you don’t want to get back in the water. THANKS again FWC for the work you do on the river I’d hate to see how it would be without your presents.

Good Work Lt Hahr, for keeping that drunk trash out of our family oriented recreation areas.
