It's supposed to be sunny and mid to high 50's. But, of course, the temperature will be much colder on the water, since the water temp is only in the high 30's to low 40's right now.

I'm not sure we'll catch anything after all this wind, but I need to get the boat out for its maiden voyage, and Sunday looks like a good day to do that.

She's loaded up and gassed up...ready to go.

I drove through town this afternoon and didn't see any visible ice out in front of Port Clinton, and I think Catawba launch is open now, so we'll be launching there around 10am.

Good luck to anyone else going out this weekend!

I won't have the radio on, since it isn't installed in the boat yet. 

Looking forward to getting back in the groove and putting some fish slime in the livewell. :)
