Spring and Fall are the best times here, as far as weather is concerned. I voted for Fall cause that is just my favorite season hands down!

I like water hunting in the winter and spring the most. The fall is good to and summer will do but I find the beaches too crowded for my taste. The eye candy is better in the summer but I appreciate it more in the spring and fall.

Kewl,

I voted for 'Anytime' cuz we can pretty much hunt year round down here, of course the finds are better in the spring & summer but we do find stuff in the winter too.

Fall is absolutely my favorite time of the year for almost anything...so that's how I voted...HOWEVER - now that I've gotten a taste for water hunting, I may have to change my opinion to summer!
