Be careful getting on and off in this area it is a real mess. Once you get past there it isn't so bad. Kind of a bone jarring 4 mile ride out through some slushy crap but it seems to be worth it. Walleye fishing is pretty good out there right now. I measured in one hole today with my skimmer and had 22" of ice. That was also the length of the largest walleye I caught today. Still swimming. Beautiful day to fish. eyegobye Posted 2/29/2004 8:27 PM (#14231 - in reply to #14015) Subject: RE: Guess the Ice-out day on Winnebago Member Posts: 69 Location: Chilton I'll guess April 3rd. The ice is pretty solid yet, and we all know it'll get cold once more. seamonster Posted 2/29/2004 11:01 PM (#14242 - in reply to #14015) Subject: RE: Guess the Ice-out day on Winnebago Member Posts: 39 March 25 Whatchausin?

Okay, based on the ice depth on 2/29, I'll say April 2. Shep Posted 3/4/2004 2:33 PM (#14466 - in reply to #14463) Subject: RE: Guess the Ice-out day on Winnebago Member Posts: 3899 March 27th.

An enthusiastic angler could get to lighthouse reef from Jefferson Park. With this warm weather and some wind it won't be long now.

Is the ice leaving? Who'd gonna win this thing? Viking Posted 3/24/2004 10:13 AM (#15558 - in reply to #14015) Subject: RE: Guess the Ice-out day on Winnebago Member Posts: 1314 Location: Menasha, WI More open water on the north end every day and the rest of the lake is getting pretty black. I know I won't win - I guessed the 26th of March. Add some rain and wind to the warm weather and it won't be long though.

A little in Cowling Bay and some along the inside edges of Asylum Bay. Other than that, it's open water.
