Some cool shots here... the April 2 is somewhat obscured by clouds. We are heading up to Erie this evening for the weekend.

Lake St Clair is ice free, but tons of debris floating around so be careful

Hope to head out this weekend! I know Sunsation will be testing a new 36' with 700's on Monday! Kind of sick two years ago we were up to St. Clair on April 4th

WOW! Surprised the lake level is down, cold winter and lots of snow, I thought we'd atleast push.

the water by the north channel looks like its deaper than it was last year this time..
low water levels are normal for the begining of the season.
Ice free...
seen a few fishing boats out.
wearing heavy winter jackets does not seem like fun.

They use to say there was a ten year high water cycle, 1975, 1985, 1995. We never had it 2005. Some say Chicago is diverting it down the Mississippi river, others say it's the bottle water plants here in the Great Lakes. Whatever the case the water is down. I have lived on Lake St Clair for 35 years and it is definately DOWN...
