Hey Shooter, I with you on that ,the scarest time I ever had down there was I was sculling from the front of the john boat and I hit a log right in the ribs with the paddle

i went today,15 to 20 mph winds,out of the south,caught a few,not ready yet but close.
water temp dropped ,i had to go deep to find fish,would have been a nice day to go sailing.



gators are out for sure

a man in a float tube looks like an audurve to a gator,no man you could not melt me and pour me in a float tube in Chicot Lake.

gators "will" eat you

Very interesting about the spawning temp fluctuation due to demographic location.... In my area (Northern Illinois) the reds spawn right after the Gills when water temps are in the mid 70's.

Hey Shooter, If you were to try float tubes down there when the water temp warms up do you think those gators would be sucking on your toes?

I can see right now I'm going have to take some photos out on the water this year, I've tried not to in the past because sometimes they could be considered evidence.
