11.2 now at the bout. I guess that means 22.4 ft waves. :confused:
I would like to experience this - just once. And for a short time.:rolleyes:

I'm not trying to start a controversy, but I have seen this statement here before. Wave height means from the bottom of the trough to the top of the adjacent crest. From a mean level to the top of a wave is the amplitude, not wave height. This is not typically used in measuring wave height. 11.2 is the height from the trough to the crest, not double that measurement.
LongRod. I know where you are coming from. Like you say this has been brought up before here. I kinda believe the double the number theory. When you are out there and the weather bout says 1.5 footers it seems like 3 footrrs. When it says 2 footers and you are out there it looks like 4 footers. Etc. This is my experience. ???? How about you Copo? I'd ask Bailey but everything is a ripple to him..:rolleyes:
Wave height is usually measured by drunken rednecks on boats that are overpowered and travelling way too fast with too many fish onboard.
Hey now!!!! That's not fair Wes.....Lil
http://www.erh.noaa.gov/buf/waves.htm
Yeah wes i don't drink, i think what you just did is called profiling!
Well personally I've seen it both ways. But usually it seems rougher than what the buoy says. I've been out in some scary sh#t before. To the point we put life jackets on and hailed the coastguard out position. But that's a whole story in itself.
Now last week when the girl n I went to hamburg beach the wave height seemed correct to the buoy. But when it says 1-3s and you get out there and it's barely fishable. Ya gotta wonder
Excellent schematic you found.Quote:

I will say Fishkiller is the one with brass lol when i decide its bad enough to pack it up he's just gettin started ha ha.
I agree when they say 2ft waves they seem to me they are 4ft imo
Not disagreeing with the feeling that 2 to 3 feet seems much bigger than when on the lake and can be unfishable at times. It does to me too. After 40+ years of coastal and ocean fishing, 4 feet on these lakes in a small boat, seems very different to me than 4 feet in an open, deep water place (ocean). Fishing was no problem most times because 4 feet showed up as a long swell. I believe it is the wave period and how steep the waves are - a result of the relatively shallow water, rather than their actual height that makes it so different. I could be wrong, wife says I usually am.
Lol that's cause he's got the biggest boat.Quote:

Bailey gets his highs and lows from the waves now. Not drinkinng.lol Good choice. Now you can buy a bigger boat. Oh that's right you did.:eek:
The lady wasn't that flat today.
Copo - what's in store for tonight? Pumpkin moonshine?
LongRod - you sound experidenced. You can educate us dummies.
I was cleaning the garage & boat cussions all afternoon.:mad: I can't get the boat ready for winter storage with this rain.
Actually joe , I haven't drank since last Saturday. The girlfriend was drinkin some strawberry apple moonshine earlier that I made. I winterized the boat engine today. Still gotta clean it and move it n tarp it good. But it was pourin most of the day here.Quote:

Copo - are you a chemist? A chef? :D
Maybe we should try this on our bait. I may work better than Kishel's. :confused:
Lol. I'm a redneck. I do cook. And I dabble in mixology. I dunno about that. Kishels is some pretty bad ass stuff. They definatly put the r&d into their products.Quote:

don't they shut down when they close for the season?
It didn't die. Joe just set it up for personal use from his house lol
Don't know if anyone listens to 97.7 fm but Dj iron mike benson passed away this morning. He was a Buffalo native from Kenmore. He did afternoon 3-7 on 97.7. Rip.
I emailed ED that's listed on the Lakevision web site and he got back to me with that news.
Milt - I know that the weather buoy goes down for the season. It probably will happen soon. But Lakevision doesn't go down. I remember seeing people going ice fishing a few years ago. I hope it doesn't go down. You never know. :confused:
I do he was awesome love listening to him how did he pass
He had lung cancerQuote:

After taking a moment out of your day to thank a Veteran on this Veteran's Day please give a moment of silence to the 29 crew members who were lost on this fateful day 38 years ago on the Edmund Fitzgerald. She was the largest ship on North America's Great Lakes, and she remains the largest to have sunk there. For seventeen years Fitzgerald carried taconite iron ore from mines near Duluth, Minnesota, to iron works in Detroit, Toledo, and other Great Lakes ports. As a "workhorse" she set seasonal haul records six times, often beating her own previous record. Captain Peter Pulcer was known for piping music day or night over the ship's intercom system while passing through the St. Clair and Detroit Rivers (between Lakes Huron and Erie), and entertaining spectators at the Soo Locks (between Lakes Superior and Huron) with a running commentary about the ship. Her size, record-breaking performance, and "DJ captain" endeared Fitzgerald to boat watchers .Carrying a full cargo of ore pellets with Captain Ernest M. McSorley in command, she embarked on her final voyage from Superior, Wisconsin (near Duluth), on the afternoon of November 9, 1975. En route to a steel mill near Detroit, Michigan, The Fitzgerald joined a second freighter, the SS Arthur M. Anderson. By the next day the two ships were caught in the midst of a severe winter storm on Lake Superior, with near hurricane-force winds and waves up to 35 feet high. Shortly after 7:10 p.m. Fitzgerald suddenly sank in Canadian waters 530 feet deep, approximately 15 nautical miles from the entrance to Whitefish Bay near the twin cities of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Although The Edmund Fitzgerald had reported being in difficulty earlier, no distress signals were sent before she sank. Her crew of 29 all perished, and no bodies were recovered.
Many theories, books, studies and expeditions have examined the cause of the sinking. Fitzgerald may have fallen victim to the high waves of the storm, suffered structural failure, been swamped with water entering through her cargo hatches or deck, experienced topside damage, or shoaled in a shallow part of Lake Superior. The sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald is one of the best-known disasters in the history of Great Lakes shipping. Gordon Lightfoot made it the subject of his 1976 hit song "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald".
Investigations into the sinking led to changes in Great Lakes shipping regulations and practices that included mandatory survival suits, depth finders, positioning systems, increased freeboard, and more frequent inspection of vessels.
Well kind if. It's all ready to get the shrink wrap done. I have a call into the people that do it. But now I have to wait for a nice calm day :confused: to get that done. It doesn't look like the wind will be calming down for the next several days. :mad:Quote:
