Winds just hit 36 mph on Welch Island! 4’ rollers crashing up over my breakwater!
Think I’ll go for a swim! 😳😳 Dan

I kid you not Hill, at 6:00 AM this morning with 30 mph winds and snow blowing like crazy, a small aluminum boat went by my camp attempting to troll! It was the most insane thing I have seen as it was completely un-fishable no matter what size boat you have!!

Lol...I did see some guys that went out this morning on FB (Fish Lake winni) and they had the lines screaming with lakers! I don’t mind a little wind but the cold throws a damper on things...if you “go for a swim” be careful...it’s “acorn” season!

I could understand fishing the bays or coves where it’s somewhat sheltered, but out here around Welch, that’s just insane!

BTW, use my beach if you like. Not windy there at the south end of the Bear's Trail. |

Locked out?

Watching the water break over your breakwater reminds me of stories of folks with small boats with no automatic bilge pump, being swamped while they were tied behind the protection of the break water. Ironic. |

Ayuh, that looks sporty. Better take the Eastern if you need to venture out!

Wow...that looks nasty out there. No thanks! When I saw the forecast, it seemed like a lost weekend for fishing. I wouldn't even want to be out in your Eastern today Dan! Looks like you are marooned on Welch (how terrible....lol)
