Thanks for your input. Truth be told, I just bought the boat and was really looking for an excuse to spend a few hours on it. Catching fish would be icing on the cake. Unfortunately, Wed is the only day this week that works for my schedule. But there’s no sense in getting beat up out there. I might just spend time sitting on it in the marina. Softly crying to myself and cursing this bad luck.
I would be on standby if I were you. See if the wind dies down a bit in the evening. Get yourself a couple 2-3 hours in close to shore if it does. They don’t always get it right. Just have a plan just in case you can fish. IMHO
Don’t bother the Coast Guard won’t even be out today wait for it to settle down look towards the weekend or next week. If you just got a boat run it elsewhere before you test Lake Erie you lose power out there it’s game off!
