Got on the water today

[you da man]

After 2 straight weekends of solid rain I finally got a chance to go out on the lake today. Prior to the rain the lake was down 7-8ft and is now about 3ft low. The docks near the ramps are floating now at least. Air temp today was 75 degrees and water was 73-74 degrees. Prior to the rain the water varied from 76-78 depending on where you were on the lake. I wore my new heater top which worked great and kept me warm between sessions and made it easier to re-enter the cooler water. Only saw one other boat with a wakeboard rider (an older Moomba), everything else was bass boats and a couple runabouts. Maybe one or two more weekends left.

I live just north of Austin, TX where water temps are reported at 74-75. In the Dallas/Ft. Worth area which is 2.5hrs north of me, they are reporting water around 73 at Lake Lewisville and someone mentioned high 60's at Lake Worth in Ft. Worth. Not too long ago we were at 86 degrees.

with that water temp and air temp, what are you doing wearing a top?????

man, we have water temps that max out in the upper 60's in the middle of the summer and we are riding with just boardshorts on...

i'd be in heaven down there right now

kinda fun to watch the guys in the bass boats cruise the lake. have to go balls-out anywhere they go. we have a ton of them here and I could sit on a dock and watch them all day. they're funny...

I envy you man! Take a look at my thermometer. A tad cooler. I though Alabama wearther was the best until now! Glad for you, keep boating as long as you can. I'm probably going to turn the boat in before November hits. Just not into the cold water. Of course, Florida has everybody beat.
