Damn! That's a haul. What's up with that?

That was kinda my first thought too!

Agree 100%

Agree except for the sit down part, I’ve found they’re happier when they can see what we’re getting into and prepare for it

When is the shootout this year?

it’s always the weekend before Labor Day Weekend so that would make it the 29th and 30th

Like others have said this is not a wind driven wave. The lake is different in that you have the main channel that is a mile or 2 wide and many coves and several arms.

What you will notice is that there is home after home and dock after dock lining the shore.

There a lots of boats and lots of big boats up to 60'. On top of that you have many seawalls or cliffs that reflect waves versus absorbing thing.

This leads to large waves coming from different directions. . The worst is when several large waves come together. They make what I call holes. You want to avoid them. Easy to spear a wave like that.

During the recession the lake saw a big decline in boat traffic and was nice to boat at. The boat traffic has grown each year since. So you want to be on the look out for large boats particularly cruisers that tend to plow. Look at your path way out in front and head away from the path of large boats.

Also some of the cruiser wakes can sneak up on you. The cruiser is long gone and here come this random large wake.

Pretty much any afternoon can get busy. Later in the week more so.

Sounds so similar to Anchor Bay at the north end of Lake St.Clair. A washing machine on weekends.

How well would a 24’ Cobalt handle Loto on a rough day? Ive heard the Cobalts don’t ride on a pad and are more of a level running boat. Just curious about rough water handling. Fixing to make an offer on a low hour 242.

"How well" is a relative term. You'll make it around, likely slowly. It will be a rough ride.
