This is Captain Al's 3rd year of Gator hunting with gator
guide Chic Hinton.
Thought we'd share pictures of this year's catch. Thank you
Chic for the pictures!
Newnan's Lake - Sunday's catch was 9'4". Monday's was 9'2".
Headed to Orange Lake tonight 8/17.
A little interesting information: Newnan's Lake is located
off State Road 20, east of Gainesville, FL. It is
approximately 1.12 miles wide, Newnan's Lake is home to many
forms of wildlife and had been designated
as a protected site by Alachua County.
In the Spring and Summer of 2000, a drought revealed canoe
remnants. Forty-one of 55 fragments were analyzed
through radiocarbon assays, which showed them to date to between
2300 and 5000 B.C. The wood choice and
manufacturing techniques were comparable to other Archaic
Period Indian Tribes. The discovery led to the site
being added to the National Register of Historic Places in
March 2001.
