Big blow coming this weekend

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!!!

See this link:

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.

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.

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.

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.
