danthebuilder Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 As great as their predictions have been lately... I'm almost willing to throw down $ saying it will be calm as can be. At least... I am hoping both piers won't be underwater and i'll be able to get some fishing in.

Far Beyond Driven Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Last time we went to the beach to watch the big ones roll in (they were breaking on the third sand bar), the sand etched the windshield on my Jeep.....

MoJoRisin' Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 FBD - I used to live on the beach in Muskegon across the street from Pere Marquette Park - not a fun place to live when the gales come up. Yes the sand is a pain big time when you are trying to clear snow from the driveway. Snowblowers do not like sand, along with windshields and paintjobs.Gotta pay sometine for the nice summer days on the beach.
JWheeler Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Just got back in, dropping off the 1st limit of the day. Heading back out after a cup of joe and a sandwich for more!
Chummer Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Wife and I are headed for Calumet Marine this afternoon to p/u boat. We'll check out these seas in person on way down, wish I had decent camera with me. I'm not looking forward to the haul back to Cadillac! :no:Good luck if you're bow hunting!
Indybleck Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Anybody have any pictures of the surf? That might be something. Was just looking at the Holland web cam its rolling pretty good.
SUPERTRAMP Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Check out the St Joe Web Cam at 3:30 it was really gettin it earlier today we were seeing breakers in the channel by the CG station.
Rascal Trophy Fishing Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Heard 18' waves were measured at the south weather buoy today, wonder what the north one said, lol. Even the carferry Badger here stayed in port awaiting better wave conditions, and she's a whopping 435' long or so.
