Sunday fishin Newell in high winds with kids, at what point is it to much?
I'm no stranger to rough water and have no concerns with my boat but I do have a few tag alongs to think about (friends kids 6-8). My Navionics app is showing sustained south winds of 25km/h and gusting up to 47km/h by the afternoon and it's always been very accurate, is this weather really going to whip things up out there as far as bobbing all over? Is there spots to get out of the wind coming in from the south? I'm leaning towards letting him know it's just not going to be comfortable for the kids. Any advice from someone that spends a lot of time out there would be extremely appreciated.

25 gusting to 40+ would not be enjoyable. I haven't fished Newell but I understand it to be largely unprotected and know it gets rough in the wind. You would be better off picking a smaller/more protected lake to go to instead.
We were going to head there tomorrow as well, but upon reviewing the forecast, I think I am going to pass. Waves get big on that lake with even small amounts of wind and not much for protection, especially if you are wanting to walleye fish. I should have headed out there today on my own I guess....
The first two bay/ inlets directly north and to the east of the kinbrook boat launch are semi protected but the main lake with be quite frisky with that amount of wind.
