Super cool site and there's a new super weather station. |
|
Permits searching planting information by-area, type, etc. . |

Pass mouse over dot. Click for even more info. Don't forget tabs at top. |
Links |
Caution. When visiting the sites below, look closely at the time, date, and location. Some sites are notoriously not current. |
Weather dedicated to the City of Marquette from NWS and sensors located in town. Almanac data handy. |
|
Neat site. I don't know sorce of wind or wave data comes from. |
|
Super sophisticated weather station. |
|
Click on Lake Superior, then chose image. These shots change daily but quality depends on cloud cover. I just changed the link as old one wasn't working. |
|
Covers a very wide area. |
|
Seasonal. Buoy 45171 shows data + wave height. Installed 2022 but few people knew it. Hope it's installed in 2023. |
|
This site is near-real time located in the wind-sheltered lower harbor. Data sometimes delayed by over half an hour. Only time it's close to accurate is with a southerly wind. When on site, click diamond at top for Big Bay station. |
|
Another reference for boaters but about 27 miles east of Marquette. Still, I use it periodically. |
Changes to my web site to consider for the future:
Complete
make-over of my home page. I laid down and feeling went away.
My
personal dictionary of terms. I've started this but have lots to do
yet before publishing.
More pictures of high quality. I might do this as a friend has some fantastic pictures.
Have
someone take newer and better pictures of my boat.
I thought
about having a forum where visitors can exchange ideas and
experiences. Worthwhile? Not!
Please feel free to comment or suggest improvements! .
You are visitor number 1,000,003 (just kidding)
Welcome
to Joe's Lake Superior Fishing website. This season begins thirty
years of logging my Lake Superior fishing trips around Marquette,
located in the north central Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Each
year I've recapped my fishing trips to share with you. My boat is
named "Cooler By The Lake", after our frequent summer
weather forecasts for areas near Lake Superior. I'm a fisherman
who loves to fish Lake Superior, mostly for Lake Trout. I do not
run a charter. There are no paid advertisements on my site, nor
pop-ups. I usually update my reports after each trip. Thank you
for following me on my Lake Superior fishing journeys. Other
features on my website are where I cover several topics, including
the Marquette American Legion Post 44 happenings, and Marquette
Area Veterans Memorial events. Please if you have questions
or suggestions. Compliments are also welcomed. Joe P.S. It's kind
of nice to find that Google lists me #1 out of 6,010.002 responses
(yeah, it varies) to "Joe's Lake Superior Fishing "
searches. Probably aren't many websites this old. Please
join me this season!
