Some feel that a "cool" rain helps because if the water temp. is higher than the rain cooled air the alligators will be in the water and moving more. Also the cloud cover can help keep them from seeing you as well. Remember to review the new size rules from zone 1 to 1A.
Where are the big gators on eufaula. I thought it was supposed to be one of the best zones. I saw more gators and bigger gators at rays mill pond in zone four three years ago. Very disappointed in eufaula
