    Lakes over this way are 2 to 3' below normal and maybe more.
    So if 5' is normal depth, that dosent leave much room above the stumps and mud in many areas.
    Bigger problem is that in some places 3' is the normal in order to even get to the 5' or more locations.
    So yes it is a problem.

    live on kissimee river all the lakes on this water system are very low and have been for months. herd they lowered water last year to store storm water this summer. all to make folks on the coast happy. don't see a good fix for the water problem between big o and the coast.

    I have some ideas but not sure if they would be legal. A pump used in construction to remove water that runs on gas and a 2” or so hose that comes off of it. You’re going to get in the water with it and use it to wash the mud out of where it is to where you want it.

    Another is to tie off to both rear cleats to the corners of your slip with the prop wash going into the slip, pushing the water into the slip and displacing whatever is in the slip.

    These are just ideas but maybe they’ll start the juices flowing.
    Creativity is just intelligence fooling around

    I live on Rosalie and we are about 3 feet low, I am used to it now and after researching the issue the core of engineers transfer our water south to flood the irrigation ditches for the sugar cane farmers, so that they get a good start for the crops
