Wind ???? Need some advice

[pimplepounder]

I fish the lake all times of the year. When from a boat, it's from a craft that is similar to yours. 15 mph winds are going to make some pretty rough water especially around the Northern cans. There have been days I drove 90 miles only to just drive around to check out different Bait shops, launches, etc. because of the breeze. Let alone drive from Wisconsin. But I have learned that there is some fishing to do even when the wind is rough. The Western bank of the lake affords some shelter when the Westerly winds are rough. The Monroe/Toledo area. This is true around Port Clinton too. The worst winds I have had to deal with are those from the North. You could always fish East and West harbor and Sandusky bay when the weather is questionable regarding wind. I am a bit jealous though, because Last time I checked Wisconsin has some pretty good fishing holes too for when the weather isn't worth the risk of the long trip for nothing! Lol

When you use an app like iWindsurf, where it shows say 12mph, gusting to 16.... like the reading and forecast out at a Toledo Water intake, do you tend to use the lower maintained amount as that is more of a constant? Keeping an eye on the gusting as an alert of where it gets to. Sure is crazy how much of a variance there is from area to area.

Looking at next week, guess I'll take the much appreciated advice and bump it back some. Thanks again! Sure love the info shared on this site
