| Spring Bay and Cooks Bay were still open this morning. I checked Wayzata and and couple others and they were iced in. There is plenty of floating ice out beyond the landings though. Hope this helps. |

| Thanks. Will give it a shot around noon and see if they are still open. Got pretty cold last night with very little wind, so it may be over? |

| I haven't seen the lake today, Wed, but Tuesday Wayzata was skimmed over until about 2-3pm then totally gone. Greys is alot tougher to get to open water versus the Wayzata Yatch Club launch. Tuesday I broke through about 3/4 mile to get to open water but it was easy, just skim ice. Also caught my biggest ever yesterday. Big plastics and an ice chisel and you are in bidness. |

| I heard people are wrecking their trailers at that Wayzata landing. There is a huge hole off the ramp, so if you back it up off the ramp your trailer will fall right off the edge. I was told it was too shallow to launch the boat prior to the drop. Smaller boats should work just fine I guess, but the bigger rigs are taking a beating. Any truth to this?? This is just the info. I received.

I would definitely believe that. I fall into the smaller boat category and you do need to be careful, i've had difficulty. I watched a guy drop his wheels off the end of the ramp and the axle and trailer were resting on the cement, they had to off load the boat and reposition. |

| Damaged my trolling motor mount loading there on Thurs. That ramp is a beeyotch on bigger rigs. I can attest to that.

| We didn't have any problems with that ramp yesterday aside from it was a little icy in the morning. I think if you don't back down quite as far as normal you'll be ok. Plenty of deep water right off the ramp, a little shallow after that. Yes, I love my roller trailer.
Ice - the reason I won't ever be able to own a Ranger. |
