Being I'm in the northern most part of IL, I don't often get on the water sooner then may. We had an unseasonably warm day today and I was all over it. I shared the chain with about 5 other boats all day.
Today was just really a day to make sure everything was working and no problems cropped up, but everything went great. I even was able to launch for free. so the launch money stretched for a few beers and burgers after the boating was done.
I hope a few others in these colder parts were able to take advantage of warming trends. I think I'll hit up the lake again tomorrow as well.
