Yes, there are alligators in the Ashley 7 '22

 

SUMMERVILLE, SC - A first-time alligator hunter landed a major catch Sunday from the Ashley River in Summerville.

Mike Montei captured a 13-foot-4-inch, 604-pound alligator behind the Kings Grant subdivision.

Guess we're not going to be doing any kayaking on the Ashley.
