Default First outing of 2012

78 degrees, sunny, no wind. I would take this weather in May or June let alone March!

Clinton? Looks awesome for sure. Curious where it is because I'm ready to splash my boat and Shelbyville/Carlyle are still way too low.

Yes, Clinton Lake yesterday afternoon. This was taken floating in the main part of the lake just South of the Marina looking back North towards the Marina.

Where is the best ramp? I'm off this weekend and wouldn't mind making the trip.

The best ramp is at the Marina. http://clintonlakemarina.com/

It can handle up to 5 boats at a time, ramp is not steep, it is in a protected no-wake cove, and has courtesy docks on both sides plus an additional drop-off dock nearby. It is $5 to launch but not sure anyone will be out collecting money this early in the season.
