Hope you get some time on the water today. It looks like a wasted trip to Ludington for me this weekend. I need to get some work done on the boat done so I'll be there. We have had a ton of bad weather weekends this season.

THUNDERSTORMS. WAVES 1 FT OR LESS.

TONIGHT

SOUTH WINDS AROUND 10 KT VEERING TO NORTHWEST 10 TO 20

KT. SHOWERS LIKELY. WAVES 1 TO 3 FT.

SATURDAY

NORTHWEST WINDS 15 TO 25 KT BECOMING NORTH TO 30 KT.

SHOWERS LIKELY. WAVES 5 TO 8 FT.

SATURDAY NIGHT

NORTH WINDS TO 30 KT. CHANCE OF SHOWERS. WAVES

5 TO 8 FT.

SUNDAY

NORTH WINDS TO 30 KT DIMINISHING TO 10 TO 20 KT. CHANCE

OF SHOWERS. WAVES 4 TO 7 FT SUBSIDING TO 3 TO 6 FT IN THE

AFTERNOON.

Guys I can't emphasize enough to be safe out there. We have had numerous calls to foundering/capsized boats, boats on the rocks, struggling swimmers etc. etc. this year in Manistee. And in one terrible incident a fatality. You just never know.

8 foot waves are huge even in a solid boat, and nothing to be taken lightly. I've been in them and WOW! A couple fish aren't worth it. I'm not trying to say don't go fishing, everyone here is an adult and will make up their own mind, but throw on a PFD at least. Yup, they look stupid, but your survival odds after going in the water go way, way up if your wearing one.

Just my 2 pennies, and please be safe out there.

You hit the nail on the head Chris.

I have a feeling, most of the fishing this weekend will be limited to harbor patrol.
