This Old Boat!

The NOAA link is NDBC - National Weather Service Marine Forecast FZUS61 KCLE
Looking at the Catawba camera it's view is west so Davis Besse cooling tower is seen . You can look at the steam exhaust and see if it matches wind direction and the wave height in the report, Now today shows wind out of west and 1 to 3 foot waves but camera shows wind north west and waves about 1 to 2 . But I'm no expert on the lake conditions may be some one else out there Can add to this post with some of there experience and knowledge.

Well like every one I'm thinking about fishing, I plan on being out on this old boat again if weather permits last Friday in Feb. Still need to replace some soft floor spots and finish some work left over from fall think I will install a 35hp outboard for trolling and a get home motor . Being a drifter and caster I'm going to try trolling a little this year so looking for a few trolling supplies any suggestions on rods, reels, planner boards and lures ?
