Myself I tend to trust Windy and Sailflow over Windfinder and they are showing only Wed. as "my kind" of comfortable fishable in the Port Glasgow area. I'm not quite as adventurous as someone like @tailfeathers per say who doesn't seem to mind fishing in 6-9 footers.
Bigger boats rule @Wave Runner and as the saying goes,”GO BIG OR GO HOME!!Myself I tend to trust Windy and Sailflow over Windfinder and they are showing only Wed. as "my kind" of comfortable fishable in the Port Glasgow area.

My boat is just over 18 feet long,so therefore I pick my days to go fishing.I mention about safety occasionally on the Great Lakes,and thanks to you @Wave Runner I like windy as well now for my marine forecast,and I am hoping to get out sometime this week & walleye’s & bows ON wether it’s on lake erie or even on Lake Huron for me,whatever Great Lake is safe for boating. ? ????Myself I tend to trust Windy and Sailflow over Windfinder and they are showing only Wed. as "my kind" of comfortable fishable in the Port Glasgow area.

@Trevor M I believe @Wave Runner boat is a 16 footer.I should know but I forgot.I have been in his boat twice,once for walleye’s last year on Lake Erie & a spring pike tournament this year.He knows his boat well and with him it is always safety first!! ?????

Anytime my friend @Trevor M I drink Coors Light by the way & Cheers!! ?I'll trade you, I'll go inside and rest, you come over here and slave over and bounce back and forth between the BBQ and the Stove making my wife supper tonight.
? GEEZ Red, I charged a LOT more than light beer when I was cooking for friends. It was a full case of beer (not light), a pack of cigarettes, a plate for myself and $20 for cab fare to get home, and THAT was just the friends rate. I charged a lot more than that for acquaintances or strangers. Not sure what, if anything I'd charge now. I quit drinkin and smokin 10+ years ago which was at least half my rate.
My boat is actually 16' 7'' to be precise but that's beside the point. I've reached the point in life I don't go out when it's rough no matter how big the boat is. In fact the biggest boat I've ever been on which was a group charter out of Destin Florida I got my insides almost pulverized. It was a twin deck with a 25 ft. fly bridge 65 ft. long and 22 ft. wide with twin 750 hp diesel engines. To give you an idea how big there were 91 people fishing on it as well as a crew of 7 including the captain, had a 15'x30' lunch room on the main deck and 6 bathrooms. We were out 24 miles near the end of our 8 hour charter when the wind really started blowing on the gulf. It got rough in a hurry where people were getting sick. I never got seasick but I think almost everyone else was including a few crew members that were baiting the lines and gaffing fish. The captain came on the loud speaker and said for everyone to haul in their lines we were leaving. Coming back in we were ploughing through 22 foot rollers that would shake the fillings out of your teeth. Eventually you had to watch your step or you would slip in the puke, it was everywhere. I was really happy when I could see the channel to the bay where the boat was to dock.
