weather/wind question for April 15-17th

[LEfriend]

Go to this site below and you can see the wave and wind forecast. I agree....I have a 22 foot offshore type boat and no way would I be out there with what they are predicting.

The odds of driving that far to get here and get shut out are pretty high. The NE winds Fri will be killers. If you can get out, it will be mighty unpleasant, if not dangerous. Remember, that water temp is in the 40's right now. If you heaven forbid for some reason would go in the water best hope someone is there to get you out real quick. It is not worth it. If you were a couple of hours away, you could always wait to see if things are better Sun. Even then the W/SW winds are forecast 20-25 knots. Due south might let you get out, but the slightest southwest wind with that speed will be no good.

Or you could bring waders and do the Maumee. Everyone is different, but if it was me, I would hope my friends would tell me not to come and wait for a better time.... or at least let me know the odds weren't good.

Even when the jigging ends, some of the best and fun fishing is drifting bottom bouncers. That to me is still fishing...not trolling and first of May the limit goes to six.
