Winni access

I am looking to fish the north end of Governors Island was wondering where I can access the ice. I do have a wheeler so distance isnt too much of a issue..

Best to park at Gilford Beach on Saunders Bay. Be careful traveling by the witches shoal area. I can’t think of any closer public parking areas

Thank you Dunphy, that is where I was thinking would be best access and I may have addressed the spot wrong but I will be fishing on the Gilford side of the witches, not having to go near there..

If you leave from Saunders Bay, the witches are right next to Goveners Island, sorta between you and the island, or just to the right. Just stay close to Goveners Island. Just clairifying because yes, you will be near the witch rocks.

Has the town opened the gate at the beach yet? I would assume so but would hate to be disappointed! I plan to bring the house up this weekend.

Gilford beach is fully opened, helped my buddy launch his house there last week.
