So please, if you fish, avoid doing it within sightings of gators.

If that were the rule, then I wouldn't get much fishing done in TV. Most of the ponds have a gator or two and they are usually curious and lack fear of humans. Personally, when it comes to the isolated retention ponds like you see mostly north of 44, I think all of the alligators should be relocated. They are a nuisance at a minimum and a potential threat to small mammals (pets) and people in many cases. Once relocated, due to the isolation of many of the ponds, it may take years before another alligator finds a home there.
