Got out twice locally, did quite poorly, first day, 2nd day did considerably better, which isnt saying much but better, then the rains came, and relentless they were, they closed the launch here in Morris , boil order in Kankakee, caught a break in the rain went back to the local spot, about 1 to 2”of water and slush on top, wasn’t having any thing to do with that mess talked with a guy, well talked to him after he tried going out, he bailed, said it was really spongy under him, I stuck it out cause I honestly thought I’d be tossing this dude my rope, but he didn’t venture very far🤣 maybe will catch a cold snap but it’s unlikely and the deeper we get into February it just won’t happen. Feb, March, wet months snowy and rainy, never have really been cold producing months, have some time left once again there’s always the road north and west who knows.
