Water level was medium High .
No trouble with weeds they are about 6 inchs below the surface
but on along the South Shore only .Middle and North Side clear
no slick spots. At first glance the surface looked more like April
or May.
Rigged a 5.3 expecting to be over powered but in the early part
of the day it was kind of up and down )meaning 1 to around 2:30
Came up about 2:30 and mostly stayed there.
OPed 4:30 onwards.
It was 93 an kind of muggy when I got there a little cooler when I
left.
Me , Larry and Adrien. Larry on 5.0
Larry and I may repeat tommrow.

Doesn't look good for a repeat now at 10:30 am 8/5/2022

Water level was high weeds not an issue the last two times. (almost to garbage can by tree by
the end of the day)
Looks like it is well passed maximum weeds.
Still you would want to use a weed wave at least.
Couldn't really even see that slight green shading when on the water.
Might be something Tuesday hard to tell.

KSBW says Marine surge chart looks good for Wednesday afternoon.

Thanks for the report. Does not look like they are all too fired up and in a hurry to fix that level sensor for the O'Neill Forebay.

Up and Down and Gusty all day .

Went again today to the Forebay. Was on a 5.2 yesterday and a 4.7 today. The 5.2 would have worked as well. Water level seemed the same as yesterday, but I saw more weeds today. I was sailing in some different spots, so maybe that is the difference. Still gusty, but it usually has been for me at The Lake.
