NORTHWEST REGION CASES BAY COUNTY Officer T. Basford was working the area known as North Shore when he noticed a couple of vehicles parked on the shoulder of the road. He later saw two individuals coming towards the vehicles with fishing gear. Officer Basford conducted a resource inspection and found the two men to be in possession of two redfish. One individual admitted to catching both fish. He was issued a citation for possession of over daily bag limit of redfish. GADSDEN COUNTY Lieutenant Holcomb passed a truck with a single passenger sitting on the side of the road with the window down. He conducted a welfare check and found the individual in possession of a loaded 30-30 rifle and an empty corn bag in the cab of the truck. Further investigation led to locating corn scattered along the roadway shoulders adjacent to the individual’s truck. The individual admitted to placing the corn along the roadway and was cited accordingly. GULF COUNTY Officers T.

  • Florida Circumnavigational Saltwater Paddling Trail: Segment 11
    Florida Circumnavigational Saltwater Paddling Trail Segment 11 Charlotte Harbor Emergency Contact Numbers: 911 Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office: 941-639-2101 Lee County Sheriff’s Office: 239-477-1000 Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission 24-hour wildlife emergency/boating under the influence hotline: 1-888-404-3922 Begin: Weston’s Resort near Stump Pass Beach State Park End: Cayo Costa State Park Distance: 18.5 miles Duration: 2 days Special Considerations: Extreme caution should be taken in crossing Stump Pass and Boca Grande Pass. Due to currents, boat traffic and breakers on the Gulf side, these crossings should only be attempted by experienced paddlers in favorable weather conditions along the bay side. As with most South Florida segments, boat traffic can be heavy, especially on weekends. Boca Grande Pass can be packed with boats during the peak tarpon season, from April through June. Advance reservations are recommended for motels and campgrounds, especially during holidays and the spring season. The situation regarding motels may change as motels are rapidly being converted to condominiums and resorts that require multi-day rentals. Introduction Developed and pristine barrier islands contrast each other in this segment, which spans Charlotte Harbor. Paddlers have the option of cruising the bay side or the Gulf side, depending on weather. This guide will focus on the bay side since most of the camping and lodging opportunities are inside the barrier islands, and it is considered safer. The centerpiece for this segment is Charlotte Harbor, an area with a rich history. Early Calusa Indians built canals and temple mounds in the region.
