How cool for you! It’s not like the ocean. It’s not that the waves get big, it’s that they are so close together. Listen to the weather reports. TV Channel 11 and/or channel 13. If they call for 1-2 foot waves that’s a good little chop for fishing. 2-3 footers starts getting hairy, but still fishable depending on the size of the boat. If you are going on a bigger charter boat it’ll be okay, probably, even with 3 footers. If you are prone to seasickness or don’t know for sure, take a Dramamine the night before and then again in the morning. Don’t forget sunglasses and sunscreen. It?s supposed to start warming up, so I don’t think you will need cold weather gear, but you might want rain suit, just in case.
The midges were hatching last time we were up. The mayfly hatch may be happening. They are annoying but don’t bite. You may want to take a gaiter mask for wind protection and the bugs.
Yes, you will be able to see land, Ohio, Michigan, and depending where they take you, Canada.
Good luck and I hope to see some fish pics on Bart’s thread!
