Man gators are cool, generally get spooked like coyotes in my experience. I do a lot of pond hopping for bass near the house and there are always gators, lot of small ones but they normally scurry off if you get close. They will track after a topwater lure which is funny. Haven't had any scary encounters yet. Fished lake manatee on the yak and there are monsters in there and I didnt even think twice about it.... there were guys wade fishing that lake with 12fters around haha

mosquitos suck and get thick when its really humid in the late spring, summer and early fall. The 'no-see-ums' are worse for sure.

I dont even know what pastels are haha
