Lol yeah and my 9th grade social studies teacher back in 2005 told us that the oil would run out by 2013. Can probably put those ideas into the same camp of dilusion

I was thinking my crew and I will go mid september to avoid having to expose our boat out beyond 100 fow. Only thing worse than the high winds from the south sling shoting us out where we needee to be, was going back against the grain when things really picked up.

What app is this

I was fishing sodus bay so information is not quite as easily available and no tributaries. Does I Bay and genesee river help mitigate waves in 100 fow or less?

Interesting you point to the spoon getting snagged bc it was snagged on thr line right where the flasher was

Thanks all, one possible related question is i had 1 line on a downrigger and when the winds came i pulled it back up and got the unpleasant surprise of the worst line twist ive ever seen. I had a flasher spoon on with barrel swivels at every connection point so i can only hypothersize the waves had to be the cause. Any other reasons?

Oh ok 1 -3 ft waves. Thought you meant wind mph

Thanks for the 1-3 mph wind threshold. Sound like it has to be glasslike to no wind to comfortably venture out deep beyond shore

A couple of guys and I went out in an 18 foot boat saturday and found the honey hole of fish in 120 fow around 7am but unfortunately the wind rocked us all over before we could get more than 2 lines in the water. Based on last trip getting beaten by wind, my conclusion is that in shore fishing in spring for brown trout in 50 fow or less and mid to late september spawn season for kings is the best option to be able to handle lake O in an 18 ft boat. Any additional thoughts are appreciated.
