2 Weeks Left

2 Weeks Left

The storm that passed through Monday dropped about 5”s of snow on the Bay. Todays 43° and sunshine all day took some of that snow away. We’ll dip down below freezing every night for the first week of March. What? Only 15 days of walleye season left! You better get out there. We haven’t seen opportunities like we have this…

Big Fish A Bittin!

Big Fish A Bittin!

It was another incredible weekend on Little Bay de Noc. The bite has been more than fine. Fish are being caught every day with a few ups and downs as bite times haven’t been the typical morning and evening bite. Reports of Sporadically feeding fish with a solid late morning and afternoon snack have also been the case. Thanks for…

Perfect Day On The Bay

Perfect Day On The Bay

If you’re not on a Little Bay de Noc right now, you are missing it. It’s Friday with brilliant sunshine and it was 15° this afternoon. The bite is continually picking up and fish are everywhere. The consistent light or lack of it with the snow cover has to be good. We’re in the low teens for the next few…

Nothing But White

Nothing But White

9” of fresh fluffy powder dropped on the Bay. Now that the winds have pushed it around causing some drifting, I’d say there’s anywhere from 3 to 15 inches of snow out there. There’s a little slush with the fresh snow up by the Days River Landing. At the Kipling Boat Landing there’s a little dip on the edge getting…

Update on the truck in da drink..

Update on the truck in da drink..

Update. Here’s the skinny on where that truck went in yesterday. The mark on this map says it all. This is an absolute no-go area at All Times with All machines! Stay clear of this area as ice conditions are ALWAYS extremely unpredictable. The Narrows from Saunders Point across to Hunters Point is a no pass through zone! If you…

Big Eyes Biting? Some.

Big Eyes Biting? Some.

Snow drifted as the winds blew relentlessly this morning. Now The Bay is whitecaps of snow and bare ice. Ice conditions are excellent except for places you should never go. Earlier, we reported that somebody went in off of Hunters Point. Looking around tonight, I didn’t see any action by Hunters, but I did see some lights and people scurrying…

Finally Some Snow

Finally Some Snow

A welcome layer of snow is developing on the Bay right now and we are forecasted to get 2 to 4 inches by morning. Which is great because I’m sure everyone is tired of the skating rink. It looks like the cold temps going forward are going to be very favorable for ice conditions to get us into March. There’s…

Crazy Wind

Crazy Wind

Not much has changed in the ice conditions since yesterday’s report. There’s 15” average on the Upper Bay. Except for the Days River Landing, which has water standing on the ice caused by the brief yet brisk winds that blew out of the south today. Drive through it or drive around it. It’s still a skating rink out there with…

Slip Slidin Away

Ok, Plenty of ice and no snow that’s what we got. Don’t slip and fall on your…Our cold temperatures yesterday and today froze everything back up again. The warm up this…

Rain, Rain Go Away

Rain, Rain Go Away

It’s 8 o’clock eastern time, 38° and raining. The forecast is calling for 1/2“ of rain. Tomorrow evening we are going to chill off and firm things up for the weekend. Ice conditions have been holding up very well and I’ll be checking the landings tomorrow again to see how they’ve held up through this heat wave. The bite slowed…
