Aynone Know Lake Winnebago
 

Thinking of taking my X-Kaaammaa Cat to FonduLac for a week end and heard there are rock bars and bad stuff in there. I draft 3 feet and am worried that it could be an issue. Also is there a nice motel to stay on the lake anywhere?
If this is a bad idea where else should I look for a weekend of fun?

A friend of mine boats there it's his local lake and he's never said anything about bad boating experiences he has a 33 Outlaw with twins..

I just spoke to a guy yesterday about a poker run up there and he said they run the lake with no problems but I have heard there are shallow spots. pm me if you would like the guys #. I would go up the fox, well marked and much better scenery

There are only a handful of places to stay clear of, drop me a PM and I'll give you the skinny on the lake. This is my local lake that i run my 290 Powerquest with twins which also drafts about 3ft. A good weekend day run is about 90 miles heading to the upper lakes.

When is the poker run? maybe the best way to learn a lake is to tag along. Drop me a pm and Ill bring her up.

2010 Lake Winnebago Fun Run
June 18th &19th Sweetwater Performance Center / City Center Hotel

Oshkosh Thunder is going to take a year off due to the economy and give the boaters and sponsors a breather; however the Chicago Boat Club would still like to have a ‘Fun Run’ on Lake Winnebago. Stockbridge Harbor on the other side of Lake Winnebago is still having ‘Harborfest’ that will have great food available, an awesome band (Red Fish) and lots of activities. The City Center Hotel (old Park Plaza on the river) has been remodeled recently and has a block of rooms reserved until May 15th at a discounted rate. We hope that you can make a showing for the people at Harborfest who love to see the big boats. Stockbridge Harbor has great docking, beautiful landscaping, and lots of room available.

Suggested schedule of events:
Friday:

There will be bands at Boatyard Bar & Grill, the Fox River Grill, and the Hilton Garden Inn
Slippage and boat trailer parking available at the Pioneer Marina, and at Sweetwater Performance.

Saturday:

Breakfast is available at either Fox River Grill in the City Center Hotel, the Boatyard Bar & Grill, or the Hilton Garden Inn

Meet in the mouth of the river by the railroad bridge at approx. 11:00 AM to head across the lake to Harborfest in
Stockbridge Harbor where there be an awesome band (Red Fish) playing, great food, and lots of activities.

After lunch you can head across the lake and a little South to Striech’s sand beach bay for some sun & fun, or hang at
