You have the whole length of the lake for the waves to build. About 10 years ago I saw one of the larger pontoons get caught side ways in waves that were pushing 3 feet and it tipped over. The wind was in the 20-30 mph range out of the NW and got under the decking of the toon and flipped it really fast. Use common sense and have a good time fishing.
