fishbowl836 Safety would be a big concern of mine as well. Things can happen real quick with weather. It is true that out of Port Bay or Fairhaven you have to travel a lot further out to find deep water & temp, but it can be done. Again safety is key. Read the NOAA offshore forecast also go to the following website to get a better look at what the lake is doing http://www.coastwatch.msu.edu/ just go to Lake Ontario section.
