East winds

[Yakryder]

I think I know my answer but wanted some verification from seasoned anglers. I’m stubborn and love fishing for early season bass on Erie. I want to fish tomorrow and the forecast looks like east winds at 20kmh. I fish in a kayak and plan on staying close to shore to fish for some bass. I was thinking of fishing around the James Allen provincial park. Should I risk it and make the drive or should I just go somewhere else inland.

Thanks

I’m not familiar with that park but I don’t usually take my yak out into the inner bay if the wind is much above 15 kph

Looks like I may have a window. Winds are suppose to change from east then north. Fingers crossed.

If I were you . I'd go to the grand river
your almost beside it and you'll be much safer
The open Lake can be very dangerous

Let us know how you did

Yes I’ll see how it goes, if I see rollers and whitecaps I won’t be chancing it.
