Here's mine:

Forecast as of 11:28 am EDT on September 23, 2007
Chesapeake Bay From North Beach To Drum Point-
Chesapeake Bay From Drum Point To Smith Point-
This Afternoon
N winds 15 kt. Waves 3 ft.


From 7 to 10 AM today, the weather station on the Thomas Point
lighthouse was reporting winds between 15 and 22 knots, and gusts to 22
knots.


Three foot waves of the kind we have around here do not make for
pleasant fishing.


Harry,
If the weather in the area you normally fish has 3 ft. waves, why not
change your fishing location to the leeward side or a island, peninsula
or go to one of the 10,000 coves in the Chesapeake Bay.

Even on my little lake it is common for wind to pick up and make parts
of the lake unpleasant, including some of my favorite spots. If the
weather is still nice, I just move to the leeward side of an island and
have a wonderful day on the lake.
