I fished from a kayak in New England but have not done it here. Heard that a struggling fish will attract gators. There is a video on U tube of this. You'll only have to watch it once. Remember, your butt is below the water line. Also, you do not fish from shore here either. Gators lay close to shore and jump at things walking by. Heard of a guy who asked a ranger at Griffin Park where he could fish from shore. Ranger replied, "sir, the gators here a bigger than you car."
