Ouch…… we can’t all have 1967, 24 foot Alcan’s Sir..@FlyingViking , what I was trying to say in a Giphy was that, if I had a 16.5 footer, I would stay home if it's blowing harder than a fart in a swimming pool
Well then, here let me help you out Red. Here's some pictures from or of the pier in Pt Bruce I've takenGlad to read that you made it back safely @Trevor M on Great Slave Lake,(NWT ), that day,& to be able to talk about it & always,”Be Safe!!” my friend,either on a pier,(sorry, I don’t have a photo of the Port Bruce pier—yet!! But,maybe soon!! ).View attachment 43758 View attachment 43759 or out on a lake,safety always first!! View attachment 43760
It's not his fault. We ALL know farts are funny, unless you're in the direct line of fire or trapped in an elevator and you're not the one releasing the beast.Thanks for de-railing my question, Stomp! I will return the favour! Lol
what’s the rule of thumb for “wind speeds” and direction for the Canadian side of Lake Erie? Specifically for a 16.5 aluminum with 70hp.
A lot of things apply to this question. How comfortable are you with the equipment you have. What is your comfort level with the lake when it's rolling, (size of the waves. Some can handle 4-5 ft waves or more, others can't) but a general rule of thumb when it comes to overall safety no matter what it is that you're doing is, when in doubt, DON'T.what’s the rule of thumb for “wind speeds” and direction for the Canadian side of Lake Erie?

Very impressive @Trevor M especially the first and last photo!! The @Red Hering will eventually meet up with you on the Port Bruce pier,and not likely till sometime in July,because I plan on fishing for smallmouth bass for the next few weeks,once the bass season opens up this saturday,June 26/21. Please save me some Port Bruce perch!!Well then, here let me help you out Red. Here's some pictures from or of the pier in Pt Bruce I've taken

I'd like to take the credit for catching that walleye, but the only part I played in that was netting it for her. I'm still waiting for it to be my turn to nail a walleye off the pier, I've helped land enough of them over the past few years that I gotta be due right? As for saving you some perch, you're the one with the boat, not me, and while I know where to go to try for'em, I can't cast that far.Very impressive @Trevor M especially the first and last photo!!

The one's I save for others generally stay in the lake until the next time I get out to try again Gord. That way I know where I left'em. As I've said in past years, I don't LOSE fish, I just leave'em in the lake for next time.trevor says he'll save you all you can handle (1)
I hear ya there. That's how I feel about not going today. My dad was kind of hinting yesterday that he wanted me to go fishin again today and that he might come down and join me on the pier if I did because mom had other plans today. I told him that I wasn't going today because of what the weather sites I look at were saying for today, (20+ winds out of the south with stronger gusts) So I didn't go and stayed home doing things I didn't want to do that could have been put off until .....well until I felt like doing them and then the winds never really seemed to pick up at all, I see a couple posts from today and am kind of kickin myself for not going because I'm not really sure when I'll be able to go next week yet, but more importantly than that, I feel bad that I told him I wasn't going because of what it was supposed to do today because it's rare for my dad to even make the suggestion that he might come down and put a line in for a while.I'm really starting to regret not going out last weekend and starting to wonder when during my week of upcoming holidays conditions will allow me go out fishing.
is our flag half mast in that tug picture @Red Hering?LOL!! Again!! @stomp !! At least the bathing suit is “BLUE!!” & Not!! “RED!!” lol and “GO HABS GO!!” View attachment 43748 “Wink” “Wink”
Well Red, said it before, will say it again, as goes Price, so go the Canadiens. He's playing up to that title of being "the best goalie in the world today," and they've earned their spot in the Stanley Cup Final. (yes it pains me to say that ) Do I want them to win it. NOPE. Do I think they'll win it. NOPE, especially if Tampa wins tomorrow night against the Islanders in game 7 of that series. But, I've said it before, while I'll NEVER bet on them.......I'll never bet against them again either (learned that lesson in '86 and haven't forgotten it.)LOL!! Again!! @stomp !! At least the bathing suit is “BLUE!!” & Not!! “RED!!” lol and “GO HABS GO!!” View attachment 43748 “Wink” “Wink”
Yes,@Smok'n Bat'r the flag is flying at half mast in that tug picture for numerous of reasons. Hopefully the flag will be flying back up high again one day,especially if the Canadiens win the Stanley Cup!!is our flag half mast in that tug picture @Red Hering?
Would those "K"s have a T behind them or an M behind them.....Off shore direction 15 -18 k
On shore direction 10-12 k
East or West 10-12 k
I'm in 17.5 foot boat and when winds reach 20 k it becomes hard to stand steady in the boat
With east and west you can get good size rollers plus the chop on top
Kilometers per hour for newbieWould those "K"s have a T behind them or an M behind them.....
