Yup, and Lake Erie can maginify waves due to the shallower water especially
in the western basin. That lake can kill an incautious boater in a moment of poor judgement. -- Public Fishing Forums Fishing Link Index www.YumaBassMan.com webmaster at YumaBsssMan dot com "Jerry Barton" wrote in message news ![]() Whatever conditions that forecasted, we add them up. If they're saying 1-2 footers, then that means 3 footers. St. Clair and Erie can kick some butts. "Craig Baugher" wrote in message news:u%Zlc.24034$Ia6.3600609@attbi_s03... Amen! Every tournament we have on St. Clair, Detroit River, Saginaw Bay, and Lake Erie in bad weather we have a few folks injured and boats severely damaged. I remember one tournament were a friend came off the water and he was peeing blood. Another were a friend pulled off the water in his brand new Champion with a cracked hull and transom. Both times, they were pushing their boats too hard for the conditions. I run the shoreline in those conditions and make a 90° cut to my spot to minimize my open water travel. Motor Trimmed down, 20-30-mph top speed, Zig/Zagging through the waves. Turning at the crest of the wave. No Macho Man here, big waves make me nervous, 6-8 footers scare the hell out of me. I'll be smiling and laughing, but trust me, it is only to cover up my fear! That is the bad thing about TD's judging conditions from the protected launch area; they don't see the monster waves. "Looks like 1-2-footers gentlemen, take it easy." 1-2 footers at shore means, 4,5,6-footers in the open water. Hell, calm water at the shore means 2-3 footers in the open water. Am I lying Jerry? -- Craig Baugher Be Confident, Focused, but most of all Have FUN! |
