Where do you get these wave heights? I have fished Lake Erie for over 30 years from Ashtabula to Toledo and I have never seen anything over 8'. Have I just been missing it all these years?
This is about the most accurate wave forecast ive seen. http://www.wunderground.com/MAR/LE/163.html

Sitting here in Florida reading the lake conditions. Looks like surfs up!
How's the weather down there Wes? You're not going to miss anything on the big lake this weekend.
Sunny, high 80's to 90. Will be back home tomorrow. Went out Tuesday and caught some nice red grouper and snapper. Will post a few pics when I get back.Quote:

Lol I bet they would work great tipped with a piece of shrimp as bait catching rigs. About the same as a sabiki rig.Quote:

Speaking of sabiki rigs, I wonder how those would work for perch? You may want to bring a couple back with you to give it a try, preferable something with a little emerald coloring on those little flashers on them.
Funny you say that. I have a bunch in my box back at the house ans often wondered how they would work with a small piece of shiner on them. I may just hang one over the side next time I'm perchin. I normally just throw them away when I'm done with them. I guess it would be easy just to wrap them around a pool noodle at the end of the day.Quote:

Take the first hook in the rig and hook in the pipe wrap then wrap to each hook and stick the next hook in. Watch out they are the sharpest hooks I know of. NO MORE TANGLES.
