Winnie ice out of Birch's Landing

[FishWhisper]

Anyone been out of the Birch's landing by highbanks, curious on access and ice thickness for mid week fishing?

 

Thanks

Some Ice reports available thru Facebook/Highbanks. I've also heard you can call them but they're not open until 1/5/17

Haven't heard any reports yet either, I may have to cruise on over there today and take a look at the west side of the lake today.

Hey Jim - PM me or send me a message on Facebook and let me know what you find for ice. I think I will head over that way either Thursday or Saturday for some perch jerkin'.

Just got back from the west side of Winni and at the access that pops out by the river there was a sign that says "No Trucks" on it, but I did see tire tracks going out there, not sure if it was smaller SUV's or what. There was a half dozen trucks/trailers parked on shore that pulled there gear out with sleds and ATV's. I talked to a guy coming in, probably a resort worker since he didn't have any gear on him, he said that there was 12" all over out there consistently. Of course with any ice report, get more than one opinion lol. 

 

I checked the landings at a couple smaller lakes around the area and found folks walking out or taking there sleds/atv's. 

 

I did see some meathead that drove out on Pike Bay, he is parked out there now. I haven't heard any ice thickness reports from the bay but there was about a dozen shacks out there people pulled out there with their sleds.
