    Question on The Wind Factor

    How much of a South wind is too much to fish St. Clair? (21' boat) if that matters.

    I would say anything over 10 to 15 mph you will be wanting your rain gear..

    Only you can make that call

    15 kt plus your looking at 2 to 3 foot waves

    Thanks, headed there the 26-28 and the forecast is for 10-15 two of those days. Wasn't sure if 15 would be un fishable.

    Be sure to wear waterproof boots because you will take waves over your bow from time to time if it gets rocking out there.

    You can always fish the rivers if it's blowing too hard

    Water temperatures in 80's I'm guessing? Are sandals a bad idea?
