OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — It’s almost time to cut into the ice on the Lake Winnebago system for the sturgeon spearing season.
Don Herman of Sunk? Dive and Ice Service says there’s plenty of ice to dig through and that the ice is relatively safe.
“We have 30 plow trucks in the middle of the lake, so to me, it’s pretty safe,” Herman told Fox 11 Friday morning. “People think that when we have to 40 degree weather that it does something to the ice, but it really doesn’t until we get six or seven days of 40 degree weather.”
Of course, no ice is 100% safe. Herman says the ice is as thick as 20 inches near the shore.
