Let us know how it actually is. I'm going to try and slip out there this week before the Legend tournament.

Being a 'weather guesser' here in Texas is a TOUGH JOB! Sure there are other places that the weather changes quickly as well but, here it sure does in a HURRY!! Guess that's not too bad if you have a 21' boat to handle rough water....

Mark, that forecast is about right. My experience with forecasted wind is to double it and add 5 mph.

Windfinder app on your phone has it at 10:00 am 12 with gust to 32. and at 1:00 pm it will be 13 to 24 . It is a good and easy to use.

Well, ya'll be safe. Some of these lake develop some real 'rollers' in a hurry. But, some of ya'll's boats handle the water much better than others. 17 1/2' boats usually don't handle rough water that well.... I watch for weather from the south or east to fish in and avoid like the plague winds from the west where I fish. God Bless

If I plan a trip. You can count on wind and rain even in drought conditions. Now add a cold front in mid May. I prefer this over 100 degree days.
