Western Basin Buoy (45165) Pulled for Season (and maybe forever)

[LEfriend]

Darn...hoping it could come back next year. In my view , it is the best source of info for the West End. It's real time, and the camera gives you a much better feel than any written report. I always check it several times a day and for sure when heading up...sure helps me to better make the go-no go decision for a 2 hour drive.

I think it is a safety factor is helping people to know when they should stay off. The central basin has the buoy over there, but it is too far to give you any read on the west end! Sure would be nice if the national weather service would fund it to keep it going. Lets all email Ed with some letters of support!

Thanks for all of the emails guys! I've gotten about 12 great emails from folks. Keep sending them if you havne't already. I will be talking with a few businesses this month and your support really helps.

If there's any fishing clubs that need a guest speaker at their meeting let me know! I'd love to talk about the buoy.
