I don't feel for the people that winterize their boats.
When I had more time to fish I would look forward to that and when the lake people packed it up. Nice and quiet with many times the lakes all to myself. Also when people quit fishing to deer hunt.
Clear Lake was incredible up through December open water for monster bluegills some years. Some of the fastest panfish fishing I have ever had was in fall to late fall. And it looks like proof here.
