I use that site too. Sort of puzzling though today. Plot of winds shows they have been blowing at the cam 20 plus knots with some gusts 25-30 knots early this morning and then picked up to that again late this afternoon. Yet if you look at those pictures for that time period, you don't see any whitecaps? I would expect with those winds, some pretty healthy waves, and plenty of breaking off at the tops? Normally wouldn't be out in those winds to anchor for perch, but the photos show the lake not too bad?

Unless I am using the wrong conversion for the time of the photos - the photos are GMT time and the conversion factor for eastern daylight is GMT-4 equals Eastern Daylight time? Anyone out in west end today...what was it like?
