Does anybody know if you have to have flares in your boat in Florida?

If you are not going off shore you do not need them.

No flares for me, most lakes I go to you can just drift around until you reach shore! Or swim.

I think the ones that we use you can just yell and someone will hear you.

I'm personally not real big on swimming long distances in lakes down here, you just never know what might be sitting on the bottom below you
