[QUOTE="Popeye, post: 6943, member: 148"] Fish, I judged my distance from shore by means of a SWAG (Scientific Wild *** Guess) based on the time it took my to return to the harbor after pulling lines. I ran right at 35 MPH on the run back and it took me just about a half hour to get to the harbor. Of course I was a little north so my distance from the harbor was farther than distance from shore. Like most bodies of water they are deeper in the middle and when you consider the Great Lakes were formed by glaciers you can pretty much expect them to have a basic bowl shape. I'm launching from Waukegan Harbor in Illinios and the Kenosha harbor is about 15-18 miles away. To hit 250' (83m) works out to about the same distance. Of course now that I have a handheld GPS, [i][b]IF[/b][/i] I ever go that deep again I'll be able to look and see how far out I am. https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/greatlakes/lakemich_cdrom/html/area4.htm [/QUOTE]
