I would try March. I’ve done the end of Jan on LOTW and it’s generally hit-and-miss. Or… it can be downright slow. Maybe others can confirm but my impressions are if you only had one date to choose your best bet would be in Dec or March.
MARCH! Nuttin’ better than sitting out there at 40 degrees and slammin’ fish! My group will be staying in Warroad and going out on Bablers road from 3/21-23…
