I should have rigged down to 5.6 this day when I first got there. It's been the year of the North Easterly. An unusual high pressure(they spin clockwise) sitting above the Great Lakes(should be over North Carolina this time of year) drops down several late afternoons / evenings creating N-NNE wind( a 4:00pm blow or a 6:00pm blow). If a guy was rigged and ready he could catch a 1/2 hour to an hour of wind several days. You could see a strip of North wind coming down Lake Michigan's west shore then turning NE and making it all the way to Clinton Lake in the afternoons / evenings on the wind maps. I jumped on this one because it looked all day.
