Who has had their boat out on the water this year already?
Who hasn't even gotten it out of storage?

I got mine out of the garage a while back and had to dink around with a few minor repairs. It was really nice out while I was doing that. Since it's all been done I don't think it's been much above 40 degrees and windy. Hoping to get her in the water on Sunday!

Got out Friday for a few hours when it was nice, everything seemed to work like it's supposed to, caught some fish, made er back to the dock in one piece. Very successful outing. Then it snowed 6-8 inches. wtf.

I've been out 5 or 6x was going to go last sun/mon but my puss was soar and cold so I did some minor repairs on the boat instead, 300 hour service (water pump, belt, plugs, filters + oil and gear lube change) then I ran the wire for my replacement transducer that went out on me last fall and pulled out the cable that controls the valve for my livewell so I could order a new one

Still in storage. Plans the next 2 weekends so will be at least 2 weeks before I get it on the water. Still need to change fluids and fix 2 switches as well.

Been out a few times. Had it out on April 1st, which might be a record for me.

Have had boat at house a while but haven't been out yet, had it running with muffs and added 2 hummingbird Helix 9's to the boat so would really like to see if I have all that correct. Between knee scope and making deer sausage over Easter and work, been tough to get out. Hopefully soon though, guess I am ready for bumper boats on river. dukgnfsn

Went out twice as soon as the ramps on the river were open. We went to Florida and the weather has sucked ever since. I go to Mn for a hockey tournament this weekend so hopefully May is better!.

I did go on and start reserving camp sites last night. Holy shit they fill up fast!

Snow flakes the size of 50 cent coins coming down right now, think it will be awhile but she's ready.

I've trekked down to Bismarck 3 times already to explore the river and the last trip alone I logged over 100 miles when I made a long run south. I'll be back down there Friday morning running around again!

Don't own a boat, but have been out fishing 10 + times, mostly wading. You might not know it by the weather the past few days, but there's been lots of fishable weather already.

Made it out last Saturday for the first time when it was nice. Caught a 19" small mouth. After sending a pic to a buddy found out it was probably close to a state record... Daughter kicked my a** jiggin eye's like usual.

Boat is still sitting in the pasture. If I'm lucky it will get on the lake by the second week in June. I will have the kayak out before then at least.
