EdB Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Hope you get some time on the water today. It looks like a wasted trip to Ludington for me this weekend.

j1musser Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Good luck Joel. The weatherman has been wrong a time or two. Last night was 1' or less but i was in a little rougher than that. Have fun!
DarkBlue Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Guys I can't emphasize enough to be safe out there. We have had numerous calls to foundering/capsized boats, boats on the rocks, struggling swimmers etc. etc. this year in Manistee. And in one terrible incident a fatality. You just never know.8 foot waves are huge even in a solid boat, and nothing to be taken lightly. I've been in them and WOW! A couple fish aren't worth it. I'm not trying to say don't go fishing, everyone here is an adult and will make up their own mind, but throw on a PFD at least. Yup, they look stupid, but your survival odds after going in the water go way, way up if your wearing one.Just my 2 pennies, and please be safe out there.Chris

I have a feeling, most of the fishing this weekend will be limited to harbor patrol.
Priority1 Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 When the waves a washing over the break walls, it's best to sit it out. Play it safe, and fish again.
