I wouldn't make that drive this weekend North wind is always bigger waves than they call for. I would wait for a high pressure system to come in then fish out of Bessie area for the jig bite. Don't need to go far. In may,June ID launch out of cranberry Creek near Huron fish are close that time of year. You are going to need to be extremely careful with that boat probably no bilge pumps and slow top speed. The big lake deserves alot of respect. We live 2 hrs away and run a ranger 1880 angler so I know how hard it is to pick the right days to get out.
