Lake Erie April 15, 2009

After many days of heavy winds the lake if finally laying down. Now if we can just find some clear water we'll catch some walleye. This may be the best weekend of the year coming up. Tight lines, Al.

Lake is starting to clear, the near shore forcast is not bad, looks like it might be a good fishing weekend.

The Lake is still muddy after the big blows the past few days. It's Wednesday 7:45 PM and the lake looks rather flat, if it stays this way for a few days we may have a very fishable weekend.

Lake Erie Blow Day

Most folks viewing this blog don't get to see Lake Erie on a Blow Day where waves are 6 to 9 feet. This is what it looks like from shore, the breakwall is about 7 feet high, today some of the waves were over the top of the walkway, high enough to drench me from head to toe when I got caught by one, but hey, it's all good.
