great lakes
 

Thinking about the ore carries to night its gonna get snotty, full moon for Christmas.

I'm firing up the 'ol Evinrude with the SeaKing aluminum boat -- good fishing!!!

I've been watching the St. Joe Michigan web cam -- It is beyond ruff-- I'm sure there are some Apache owners that will chime in and say look at the glass -- God Love Ya!!

Merry Christmas

There were 46 truck/trailers at the ramp yesterday!! Fish are biting!!

all our water here in the SW corner of Erie blew to the other side of the lake last night so I'm sure it was pretty snotty out there . . . .

There's a big freighter taking shelter in traverse city West bay now.

When that happen on the west end does it get shallow or no water at all?

Still not as bad as loto...

depends on the wind, the entire west end is pretty shallow, I have seen pretty much the entire maumee bay emptied but that is only 8 feet or so at the deepest, mostly about 5 to 6 feet.

This shows about a 3 foot change and its not really blowing out...

gotcha. I didn't realize it was that shallow over by dave. Are there lots of underwater hazards to hit?

All I know is when you have 50+ft of beach footage from the water line to the top wall and the waves r hitting the wall and you can feel it up in the house the lake is bit-chin....

it actually sounds more treacherous than it is, theres stuff to hit but probably no more then anywhere else. Its somewhat seasonal, prevailing winds in the fall shift to out of the SW and it pretty much drains the basin when it really blows.

Earth. Lol. Hard west wind day at the clamdigger.

There was another freighter taking shelter in Sutton Bay.

Great Lakes
 

I saw the news in Traverse City tonight. They showed the freighter anchored in West Bay. Got be pretty rough on Lake Michigan.

Wish I could meet cwo 4 bosen Mc lamb again I would correct him, I was told the great lakrs had no tides or currents . When I see you easties with your boats lying in the mud its the wind. Not the moon. He was ooh so wrong.

Agreed. Have them tell that to my buddy who swam the Mackinac Straights over labor day! He calculates he swam eight miles in 3 to 4s and it is only 5 miles across! He is crazy for sure.

Looked at a 290 PQ down there years ago(Monroe). It was still winter and we went into rack storage area. All but two boats had broken Skaggs . That was the first time someone explained the water level change to me.

Here's "high tide" today. Notice the steam from the stacks blowing today. Opposite from the south west. Like north east or nne. This direction fills our end of the lake and makes for extree long put in bay or Kelly's weekends. :lolhit:
