how to know the wave height...
First of all I will say that being in 8-12 footers in a 22 foot boat is not
fun. I been there. What makes the waves high is a big temperature change.
not just wind. I think that must be how they predict it. So if you notice the
temperature staying steady, could be time to go get some fish.
Since the lake is close to where I boat, most of the time I look first. Last
Sunday I thought it may be good enough to go out as the mid day was warming up. I went and looked, there were white caps and several people out. I did
not go. There will be a smooth day.
How I ended up in big waves? I was catching fish and just kept saying to myself just one more after every fish. It was very hard to bait the hook but they were biting. I know better now.
