Almost like a tight knit little river community. Now you know how we feel on the upper portions of the river since this Johnny Come Lately started a new Tube/Canoe/Kayak rental when FWC/NWFLWMD opened up Filingim’s Landing. The amount of people has more than quadrupled. And now you know how the lifelong Beulah residents feel. How the people of Cantonment and Molino are beginning/will begin to feel soon. They call it progress. Progress for thee but not for me is what I tell them. What I sense is that you guys pretty much had the river to yourselves and the few locals who were out there.

FWC won't give anyone a problem until they get into a slough or lake on the Florida side but Alabama DNR will cite anyone fishing anywhere on the main river without an Alabama license, it's been like this for the 40 years I've lived on the river.

I couldn’t agree more!! Since the new boat ramp the boating traffic on Perdido/Styx is out of control, it would be be so bad if people knew boating etiquette and safety. I think most are people that bought a boat during covid and have absolutely NO idea how to safely operate a boat and do not not know what no wake means. Please have FWC patrolling and educating the morons this weekend. I seriously hope no one gets hurt on the water this weekend. Perdido Styx was the best waterway to relax and enjoy a day on the water until the new ramp so I vote for closing the ramp. @Bonnie…. I couldn’t agree more!!

They are alot of crazy boat drivers out there!! They DO NOT know what NO WAKE means! It's especially dangerous ever since they opened the new Robinson Boat launch in Beulah!! Please do something about this before someone gets hurt bad!! Why don’t we see any Patrol around the Perdido/Styx River area?? They are alot of crazy boat drivers out there!!
