We only use the iwindsurf forecast to plan on our fishing dates.I would recommend you not planning to fish early next week.Weather too unstable with upcoming forecast and lake is muddied up.The fishing in the spring needs several days of stable calm weather for fishing to be good.I would watch windsurf in April for that window to plan your trip.The fishable days in your 17ft boat depend on as much on velocity as wind direction and where you plan to fish.Ideal wind direction is SE-SW if fishing on south shore area.Worst is N-E.I would make velocity in low teens your cutoff.But can go little higher or lower depending on direction.NOAA forecast is useless.Don't even look at it anymore.
