We still have power. Most towns around us don’t. The power and internet went down 3 times during my 9-5:30 webinar today. I did get my CE credits today. More class tomorrow.

I'm just west of Ripley and have been out there in big waves. Walleye hit in big waves. Going with the waves works, getting back through them is not anything i ever want to do again. If we would have stalled and got sideways?! We would now be down there with the 50,000 other wrecks out there. I think Erie has more fresh water wrecks than any other fresh water body in the world. The thing is once lake Erie gets to 4 footers it starts sucking the bottom out of the gap. Erie has 3 waves for every wave on Lake Ontario for example. Thus Ontario is more swells Erie hits you bam! bam! bam! like a Hilti concrete hammer...
I’m well aware of Erie waves. Been on it many times in 2-3’ waves in a bass boat.
Back when I was young, dumb and invincible……
Now I’m old and sore….

I think if you've spent much time at all on Lake Erie then you've been surprised by weather! I've been a victim of it myself more than once. Might learn my lesson one of these days!
