I've been out there in that crap with my tin can, not worth it. the whole weekend looks like crap and that's from multiple weather sites so i'm assuming it might be accurate unfortunately.

We had the same wind at this M-N-G 2 years ago! Lots of boats showed up but the majority did not launch. Dale and Jeremy went out. I went out with Anthony and Jimmy on the Lund! We actually caught some fish that year but most were the wrong species! Launching a skiff at LH with the kind of wind there calling for is not recommended but I'm going to wait and see what happens.

If that forecast stays like that unfortunately I'm not gonna launch, I'll definitely be out there Friday all day tho.

I think we caught the only hybrid that day, too, of the boats that launched for the meet and greet. Chubby 22" fish in the midst of a surface blitz on herring! And that was in the 14' GetANet! Loco mo fos!

Not throwing in the towel yet but not looking too good. Gonna watch the weather close and decide friday night so stay tuned. I don't have a problem goin out but anyone who is inexperienced in handling a boat in those conditions may wanna pass on this one. It's not worth risking a life or damage to catch a few fish. Not feeling to good about the bite either, near record warm temps then dropping drastically and wind howling will prob have their lips locked so let's see what develops and plan from there. Possibly reschedule for early november?

yeah...I showed up with my big boat (21' hardtop cuddy), didn't even bother to launch....the wind would have made it a nightmare to get the boat back on the trailer.

I WILL SET MY ALARM, GET UP & LET THE DOG OUT. IF THE WIND IS BLOWING HARD ENOUGH WHEREAS I DO NOT HEAR MY FART I WILL GO BACK TO BED & PLACE MY COLD FEET IN THE BACK OF MY WIVE'S KNEES JUST TO LET KNOW I MISSED HER.

LH is brutal when windy, no where to run & nowhere to hide.
