Yeah from parking lot!

Think the biggest I saw the lake get growing up was like 20' maybe. I remember being out in the lake in 8-10' and that was realllllly not fun.

Just read that the Edmund Fitzgerald went down in 23~27 ft. waves. So Muddy's plan to just fish from the parking lot is probably wise.

Wow that is some nasty sounding weather. Muddy, may I suggest if you are planning on fishing, tell some good old fish stories from your living room.

Wonder what sorta waves Superior is going to record?

I've seen 30 footers and freezing spray, but in salt water. Can't imagine how fast ice builds in fresh water. Gotten old enough I try not to ever be at sea in that anymore. Almost bit the farm in late 19 near where the scandies went down. Had a typhoon hang right and head towards us for about 8 hrs and make landfall on us instead of 100 miles south of us. 50 knots of wind on a boat is something you don't forget, neither is shallow water 30 footers. Heck deep water 30s suck too.

Maybe I'll head out to Frankfort just to watch. Was out there on Christmas Eve a few years ago and the waves were splashing way over the lighthouse.
