Ya, it doesn't look good. We tried last night based on the 1-3 building to 2-4 forecast, which turned out to be some huge 2-4's.

Good luck fishing Saturday!

I've been looking at the web cams now for over an hour and at times it looks flat calm but after looking longer i have noticed that there are some pretty good sized rollers out there,defiantly fishable but they are there none the less

I have watched it since 7:30am. It has been calm all morning. Looks like NOAA blew another one.

I was watching the Luddington Web Cam this morning and it didn't look bad. Lots of boats out fishing.

[Paulywood]

I checked the mid lake buoy off Little Sable point earlier and it showed 5.2 ft. waves with 21 knot winds. I wouldn't want to be out there with my boat.

we went out Friday night after work & they were calling for 2-4's in Muskegon. they were probably 1 or less. beautiful night & took a triple on kings just south of the arms on a north troll & picked up another at dark in about the same place on a south troll. two on lead 10 color & 13 color & two on riggers 48 down. j-plugs have been hot. we've found that Noaa is just as reliable as local news. this is Michigan so i have to give them credit when they are correct. you just have to take the ride & see what your up against. if they are not coming over the bow in the channel we usually fish. i must add that the people fishing near us were true sportsmen as they gave us a wide berth when we hooked up on the triple. a polite request on the radio sometimes works wonders. sorry if this is in the wrong section, i'm kinda new here.

[Paulywood]

It's a little different for the League events when you 30 boats coming from as much as 2 hours away. You have to cancel when there's a small craft advisory.

There was no need to worry to day ,

i was at fishrmans landing and decided to sleep in do to the wave report, definently my bad , i got up around 7:30 and took a ride down to the beech and to my surprise the lake was completly flat and the wid was calm

[Tad Pole]

I just got back from a sunday drive out to holland it looked good this morning but right now its big out there good call Jimmy

After getting blown off the lake Thursday night, I pretty much cancelled the rest of my trips. Looks like I missed out on some fishable conditions. My last five trips consisted of nothing less than four footers. I needed a break.
