Big blow coming this weekend

[jimski2]

Do not plan on a trip this weekend and double up your mooring lines.

Naw......this type of weather puts the kings between the pierheads. You just need to grab your pier-gear.

[LongLine]

Hope your pier gear includes a safety line. 7-10 out of the SW on Fri switching to 9-12 out of the NE on Saturday. Yikes!

Check wave height on lake superior...significant wave height 33 feet possible. Nasty out here right now in Wisconsin.

I'd head down just to check that out but you wouldn't catch me on the piers in it!

Fish between the Piers guys. I was just chatting with my fishing buddy who was with me in '87 when a storm like this hit. I have never had so much fun as I did that weekend. Twelve ft waves were normal. But hooking up, and having the fish running across the face of the wave above you beyond the pier was a site to see. We are coming up tonight.....

Tally hooo

My luck has run out. Tough getting out the last few days, and even tougher still the next few.

This is got the makings of good lake rise out here. Similar system hit the west side of erie and they had a lake draw of like 8 feet. The surge was pretty good on this end to.

Anyone know of the water cfm gauge on Niagara. I bet that spikes big time.

Neb vs Wisco tomorrow and Bills @ Cincy on sunday. good weekend.

They are predicting 12 foot high waves out in front of Rochester and Sodus Bay on Saturday through Sunday!!!

Be very careful - in fact stay at home, everyone!!!

It'll probably take several days to get all of that wave energy out of the lake - the big rollers will stay for some time.

will be out tomorrow night....ive seen n been out in worse...is there still access to fish under the bridge?

With 10-12 ft'rs out of the NE, fishing between the genny piers would be pure lunacy. They'll be coming straight in on you, bouncing off the walls & growing even bigger. I'll bet the CG moves their boats way upstream.

Looks like a revision: 12-16 ft'rs directly out of the North tomorrow late.

This is what you guys have coming at you! These photos are from the very Southern End of Lake Michigan!

Good luck with your boats! We did see a sail boat that its sail let loose and it was ripped all to heck!

[ray koziatek]

Ohh If I still had my Jet Ski !! not so much during the blow but the 8 ft rollers after will make any motocross track seem like childs play.. (old standup jet ski) .

That might explaine my bad knee... Man I miss those days,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Self Censored]

Heading up to check it out around noon -- before sons football game in Albion. I'll try to get some Pt. Breeze pics!!!

[LongLine]

Here’s a few pic’s before the wind came up

View of the Summerville pier from Durand. (normally, you can see it)

View of the Charlotte pier. (standing South of the CG station) Every 10 min or so a ricochete would come up onto the fishing access deck.

View of the Summerville pier (Standing across from the CG station)

Looks like all the garbage was washed off the piers. CG moved all their boats south of the turnsty. Believe it or not: there were 4 boat trailers in the lot. Bet they had fun retrieving.

Looks like southern Lake Michigan had the most excitement from this storm. Multiply the the average on the graph by 1.5 for maximum wave height (NOAA calculation) 34 ft is that a good jigging chop?
