The rivers, creeks and sounds are another story. A couple of weeks ago I was cleaning up the ol' PD in the marina after a day on the water, when about 25 feet astern of her appeared a 6 footer. Not the first gator I've seen in the marina, but he was the biggest to date. Given a choice, I'd rather see a manatee in the marina than a gator.
Some pretty good sized ones inhabit the golf course ponds along the ICW up around the Sunset Beach area...that's NC...
