misfish Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) It,s an easy thing here for me. Wadding creeks with the fly rod and spin. Not even thinking of taking the float tube out anywhere. Dont let me down weather (dick) man . Edited June 13, 2014 by Misfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spincast Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 hmm I would think somewhere between uncomfortable and wet might be descriptive. Of course, you might also be uncomfortably wet?. But My experience on E is somewhat limited. 15 K on O was my comfort zone for solo fishing in the 16 foot dual console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But My experience on E is somewhat limited. 15 K on O was my comfort zone for solo fishing in the 16 foot dual console. 15 kms is my comfort zone as well.The boat does well in even heavier winds but not comfortable at all,fishing . I think 20km winds ifish4real would be far to much IMO. Edited June 13, 2014 by davey buoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esoxansteel Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 I was out on Rice, and jiggin on my knees on the front deck a week ago, with the west wind and 3 1/2 footers for 2 days straight, knee pads came in handy, big chop for sure, follow Brian on the creeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ironmaker Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) As a resident of Erie I wouldn't be going into that lake in a 14' anything, even 14' deep Lund!. Never. My 19'6" is too small many days after going out in glass like conditions. As soon as I feel a wind shift, off the water I head. If there is any breeze in the AM there are stiff winds all afternoon. I swear by WindFinder.com. Also check weather.gc.ca for Eastern Erie reports. When it says 1/2 to 1 meter waves forget about it, I can gaurantee you 6 foot or more swells during gusts. 10 knot winds is my stay home and golf winds because if it says 10 there will be gusts to 15knts or more. I beg you not to go out on this Lake in a tinny, please. I have to add. Right know if I told you the lake has 1 foot Walleye chop one would think it would be fine to head out on, only 12" no big deal. Bit that 1 foot chop has white caps on them, far different than slight 1 foot roll. This tells me the caps are remnants of large breakers only a few miles out. Sure enough I look by telescope and it's very rough not far from shore. Plus the wind is blowing harder that the wave height would indicate, it's going to be rough until 5PM then lay down till around 8PM, then pick up again. 20 years watching this Lake now full time. Years before coming out fishing. She can be scary. Edited June 14, 2014 by Old Ironmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFish4real Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Dude...u really sound like u wanna keep that lake only for yourself ))) I've been there many times before in my 14' lund and waves were nasty but still made it to shore safely after catching lots of perch... Nice try anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misfish Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 It was blowing good out there on Simcoe. Fly fishing the creeks was the right call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
