weather limits for a 17' Whaler on the middle Chesapeake
 

Hi, I am about to move to southcentral PA and am looking forward to to putting my 1972 17' Whaler w/ 88 hp Johnson SPL into action on the mid and lower bay in pursuit of breaking fish. As it is between a 2 to 3 hour drive to where I am targeting (Eastern shore side) I don't want to go all that way just to stay in the back creeks because of the weather. I understand that a northwind can cause a pretty troublesome chop on the open bay. I was looking for your weather experiences to help make that Go, No Go decison.

Thanks.

Wind from the west, fishings the best.
Wind from the south, goes right in there mouth.
Wind from the east, fishings a beast.
Wind from the north, to the bars we go forth.


Get yourself a wind chime and put it on the n/e corner of your house. If it's making noise, stay home.
with That and a weather rock you'll be a half assed weather psycic with as good predictions of any weatherman.
