went out 12/17/01. perch fishing 48' of water.when the wind was out of the east it took consentration then the wind changed out of the south and man o man what a bite. all of the fish were 10" & above.

How far out were you? Is it still safe to take a 16 ft boat out this time of year?

we were in 47' of water straight out of the harbor.
we were also in a 16' boat.
with the 1' to 2' waves and only out 1/2 mile we felt safe.
don't take chances, you are only able to realy fish the calm water
on the warmer days anyhow.
there were only 2 boats out there and we were one of them.
the other boat was probably 16'.
i don't think you can launch anything much bigger because the water was so low, at coneaut anyhow.
