REAL TIME WEATHER INFORMATION FROM GREAT LAKES WEATHER BUOYS
Fishermen and boaters are always looking for the most accurate weather information they can find. The challenge with most weather reports is the data is being relayed from a weather station that may be several miles inland.
Wouldn’t it be great if you had a friend at your favorite port texting your real-time weather and water conditions 24/7? Well, now you do. Simply text the nearest weather buoy that is closest to your favorite fishing location.
