watch the weather this week

After sat. surprise storm I;m putting out a fair warning to all the fisherman, we went from calm seas to 8 to 10 foot waves
sat. in matter of minutes without any warning, sustain 48 mile hour winds and swirling clouds if you got caught last night you know what we went thru on the western side. Be safe and watch the radar this week for sure.

What was the big surprise ?? The local news channels were calling for scattered strong storms since early yesterday .. Calling for the same the next few days . Every summer with the heat of the day produces these storms very very often .
Good fishing !!!

Was 14.3 miles around 300 and got a call from 2 friends on shore warning of the storms heading and pulled lines in in enough time to enjoy the storm from shore.
Several other charters didnt even go out on their afternoon trips because of what they.saw heading this way on the radar. Seems you took a chance and almost got burned ..
Good Fishing

Winds at the 45165 buoy were gusting to near 50 mph yesterday and it was raining at a rate of 4 in/hr! The 45165 buoy reports conditions every 10 minutes, which is more than any other buoy or station. Check the uglos.mtu.edu site for the latest observation.

Obserservations from the Toledo Light #2 can be almost 45 min old, while the 45165 station is no more than 15 min old.

Text 45165 to 734-418-7299 to get the lastest observation.

Safe boating out there!

We use the XM Marine Weather hooked up to our Lowrance HDS unit to tell of approaching storms, lightning, and weather alerts. This service has saved us many times on the water when our phones are tucked away. its money well spent.

Was sitting in my buddies pool off Cedar Pt. rd. in Oregon when my Goddaughter showed me radar of what was coming. It was beautiful at that point. In 10 min. it got real ugly over the lake and I said I'm glad I'm not out there. There have been days when I was out there though and it's not fun. It really moved in fast.

We were sittin around the marina, seen the radar, And my friend goes "it ain't gonna rain" Jumps in his boat and takes off....WTF... Not really a great choice but he did make it back... I don't recommend this at all!

Headed due north out of Turtle Creek a little after six Sunday morning, probally got a mile north of A-can and saw a couple boats close together at first I thought they got their boards tangled but realized they were helping someone who was in the water. I think it was the person who's boat capsized that was in the news. Anyway
thank God for those guys who helped him. They are hero's. If you would have seen that you would never go out when weather is threatening.

Wow John! A Can is a long way from Bolles Harbor if that is who it was! Thank goodness the water is a little warmer and it isn't spring fishing. Sitting here looking glumly at the forecast.....thundershowers every day for a long ways out so us better safe than sorry types will probably miss some days. But better to have not gone and wished you had, than gone and wish you hadn't! There will always be other days to fish. Only takes one storm to end your fishing for good.
