sparky30 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Well I am thoroughly sick of the weather and one foot or less that is 2-4's. We fished North started in 65, hit a big trout on a 300 cu in 77, lost a king on a rigger down 65 with a meat rig, then lost another king on a slide diver back 200 set on 2. Then got sick of the waves building and went in 9. Seem like the lat 3 weeks they can not get a wind right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Hook Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) FWIW The lake started to settle down after 9. Went from 2.5 with forecast 1-2 down to 1.5. Edited August 15, 2015 by Dr Hook more to add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdh Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I drove to the launch, and didn't even unload the boat. Took a two hour nap and drove back home. I'll try again tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lef T Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I've found the windcast at Intellicast.com is incredibly accurate.Click on the forecast tab and the dropdown menu appears. Click on winds and the Chicago region. Shows wind currents for every 3 hours a couple of days out. Very accurate in my opinion. I don't pay any attention to lake forecasts anymore. Any color other than blue on the map and the lake will be questionable. I also check the buoys before I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmfishon Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I don't think I want to go way crazy and give the forecasters a huge benefit of the doubt but perhaps a small one. Today here in tc was a rare exception but I have noticed a ton of days this year where the wind is blowing good by like 7 am. Reports from the big lake don't have it picking up til later. I think with the hot land and cold water we are getting thermals they can't call. First time I saw this a lot I sure was pissed I was keeping my boat here in tc instead of Frankfort.
