Labor Day Weekend...?

[Magic Medicine]

It's about time we get some Cig Water this summer!!!! LOL Mark

Sounds like T dock party water to me

[redhotsommer]

Damn! Now they are saying 12-16 feet for Friday night! Grab your surfboards!

[teamsynergy]

Break out the jetskis....

[paulb32]

Near shore (under 5 mi) is much less but yeah that open water of 12-16 ft for Fri/Sat and 40 knot winds sounds awesome. It would be freaky cool to be floatin in that.
Certainly no Hammond Sat PM as my last post hoped, oh well. But at least Monday looks great at 85 deg and light SW winds.
Maybe lake Clinton Sunday or somethign different. Even the Morris pool has a few beaches but the barge waves arn't fun to deal with and the dnr are tuff at times and usually gotta get there early to park. But watchin the first timers at the ramp is fun for a while. If one of yous hits the river Sun I might join ya.
