Hello everyone, thanks for all the great info! I am new also to the forum. Ive been following this spring but this is my first post. This will be our second year fishing the PortClinton area. Coming this Sat and staying for a week. I understand the area around the cans etc and around a few of the reefs with trolling and jigging. My question is, when the wind blows greater than 17mph and above from the North Northwest and the waves get pretty big is there an area to the east, somewhat out of the wind say Kellys island or Bass islands that are possibly good for trolling. Launching at Mazuriks when the wind is rough from the North Northwest. I know the cans are probably the best but when that wind blows tough to fish. Just looking for some other possibilities on the other side(east) of Catawba. We are leaving from Nebraska on Friday. Thanks for any possible ideas! Kevin,

we have a Ranger 620 fisherman so boat decent size but I know how that wind waves can get.
