my fav time for the big ice gators is dec if we get early ice. early jan is ok too. things shut off through feb usually & pick up again before ice off in march/april.
the 2 peaks in the gator tug o war season are Early ice dec (if it happens) and march/april.
I could explain why, but it would take too long & it's better discussed with plenty of cold beer.
They call me the "pike whisperer"
Actually, that's not true at all, nobody has ever called me a pike whisperer... but there are a few guys who might remember seeing me whisper something to a large pike prior to releasing him.... But usually if I'm talking to fish I forget to use my "inside voice" so that's not really whispering at all.....
