From Oswego New York, 3 to 5 foot waves are common on lake Ontario, and
you
don't need the a hurricane to make them. Yes, we have fished many times
in
3 to 4 foot waves and we start to get off the lake when they hit 5
foot....
but that's us in a 23 foot boat.


I agree. In fact 5-7 footers on Lake Erie (a shallow lake) have been common
this spring/summer.

Most boat owners have been in 5-7 footers. I know I have. Hell, some
storms result in 8-12 footers, sometimes much much higher.

Poor Harry has never even seen 5 footers though as he claims it would be a
sight to see for him.

He-he-he. Maybe he needs to get out on the water for the first time.
