Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | Nope, still days. In Fremont it barly opened in front of the bridge bar. She was rather thick. Took a drive weds. man, the little wolf only opened in a few area and the wolf is still all the way accross in most places. Im sure its weakened but none the less, did not open. so on the 11th of january we will put the count at 78 and a wake up to april 1st. |

This just in, 2 snowmobiles that went down this weekend on the river, the divers that removed them were just in fort fremont. The current is screaming. Careful being on the ice. They actually said to tell people to stay off. lots of bad stuff. With all the snow, and thin ice, I suspect the river will cut loose very early this year, mid march maybe, just post ice breaker. |

My head is starting to spin. There is so much snow that the river currents should be good this year and I really bet the wolf will be a mecca of fish. Come to the ice breaker anfd get the low down.
anyone see how the sun is getting hotter and melting snow even though it is really cold?

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | 53 and a wake up people, To april 1st. It probably will not take that long, are you ready???
Ice update. The currents are swirling under the ice so there are many soft to open spots forming daily. As the hot mid day sun gets to working on the blackened ice it softens even more. The edges are soft everywhere as the river rose and ate it away. The ice is floating on the water in many areas.
Watch for the press release for the Ice Breaker 3 taking place at critters sports in winneconne on march 8th and 9th, It is gonna be a doosie!! |

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | 49....can it seem so short on such a cold day.
The ice is strong and deep yet on the river. There are friends cutting through 14 inches of ice and getting walleyes. they started last week. I'm sure it has to do with the length of day. It started the same day last year. Hmmmm.....
Ice breaker 3 winneconne, the 8th and 9th. |

With that storm yesterday and the amount of water that will be entering the system, I will bet the ice will be moving quicker than expected.

| Jason is now a Climatologist... does that pay well?, I might switch careers or maybe start a company that sells carbon offsets to Walleye Tournaments.
Lets start a "Green" only Walleye tournament... of course, you and my brother would be automatically in because you guys run an E-tec motor. Guys like me that can only afford a 2 stroke oil burner would have to write Al Gore for permission to enter.
1 gallon of Yamaha Lube is now $28.00 + $300 in carbon offsets per gallon... it's cominig.....

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | HOLY COW 28 and a wakeup? Is that possible?
Last evening I was in a discussion with a bunch of local river rats. They were discussing what they have seen in the past and what they thought about this years ice and when it would get out of our boats way. After what seemed to be hours of intense discussion which was fuel by the refreshments at Gills Landing, they came up with date. By the 22nd it will be ready to run. So there you have it!!
ICE BREAKER III Saturday and Sunday the 8th and 9th at critters in winneconne.
BE THERE!!! |
