It is our mission to help millions of anglers spend more time fishing and that starts with YOU!The two problems we ran into were dealing with an insane amount of grass as well as high water. This was making fishing with a treble hook on rod and reel near impossible, compared to some areas down South by us where it would have been perfect. These gators were sometimes 100 yards back into the grass and without using bait, would have been completely impossible to catch. We were dead set on not doing it that way.We made the long drive up on Thursday night to my friend Captain Mikey Moser's house, who conveniently lived only 30 minutes from Orange Lake. He was going to host me and Byron and join us on the hunt. I brought up my 18' Tracker 190 TX, which is fully loaded and matched with a 150 HP Mercury Optimax. It was a great boat for this hunt.At 145 AM, I finally connected on a solid gator that we spotted swimming in our direction in open water. After a quick fight, Byron snagged a second treble into him and we knew we had a good shot. After Drew grabbed the tail and I loaded up the bang stick, a well placed shot humanely ended the battle. One gator was in the books, a 5.5 footer (big enough for the final night).

Full instructions are shipped with every unit. Fun kids craft, book inspired crafts and animal crafts for kids. There are guides within the state. I have been eating quite a lot of it since the hunt, but still have the majority to go.Getting gator tags is one of the hardest parts of the overall process. A friend (Byron Fang) and I both applied, knowing full well that most people that apply are not awarded tags by FWC due to how regulated the alligator populations are in conjunction with the popularity of the hunt. We both struck out on the first round, and all of the locations we were interested in hunting were completely filled up. There was a second application period, however, and this time I was lucky enough to be awarded two gator tags on Orange Lake. This was not one of our preferred hunting destinations and it turns out that Orange Lake was 30 minutes from Gainesville, and a 5.5 hour drive from my home in Miami. The location is not up to the applicant and instead determined by FWC, based off of where they believe how many tags should be filled regarding each geographic area.For a complete DIY trip, I was very happy with the end result, but now I am completely hooked and next year the goals (and gators) are going to be set quite a bit higher!We hope that you enjoyed this article on the Bullbuster Community.
