Best Time to See Manatees in the Springs

Hey all, just got back from Crystal River and saw a bunch of manatees hanging out by the springs. We went mid-January and it was amazing, but my friend who's been there multiple times said February is even better. Has anyone else tried to visit during this time of year? How do the crowds compare to peak season?
