Ice Conditions, Weather Reports, and More!

Wow! Talk about action around the Bay today. Let’s start with some of the unfortunate events. Today some anglers got themselves into a pickle and put their machines in the drink. A quad and Snow Dog by Gladstone and a quad way south by No See Um. Which is actually Green Bay, not Little Bay…

January 27, 2024Let’s start off with the ice conditions. We’ve lost maybe a half an inch. I’m still finding 5 to 9” on Upper Little Bay de Noc North of Gladstone. We had a high of 42° today and the sun popped out for a bit. There’s water on the ice and the remnants of…

I headed out on the Bay with Toby this afternoon to check Ice. We found 5 1/2 to 11” of good ice. The 11” consists of 5 1/2 inches of good ice with 7” of slush turned ice on top of that.It’s Friday night and it has been raining all day. There is water everywhere…

Ice has slowly been adding strength this past week. Single digits tonight and teens for highs over the weekend will only make it better. The ice has been shifting so there’s a heave if your coming out of the Kipling Landing and traveling north on the Bay. This crack, that has pushed up some ice,…

Day three of the warm up sent the mercury above 32° today. Yet, ice is holding up real good as anticipated. Maintaining its integrity, ice varies in thickness between 5 to 10”. The ice that’s beneath the little snow thats left on the Bay, is good black ice of 5-6” thick. The once slushy and…

Day two of the warm-up and we’re just a hair over 32°. The prediction was 36° and fortunately I don’t think we made it there. Now would be a great time for the extended forecast to be off by 5°.The ice is holding up extremely well and I think it’ll be good for the next…

After monitoring ice thickening over the last week and half I have navigated a safe ice route for the side by side. Starting out the Days River Access down through the bay and back off at The Kipling Landing. The next week and a half as temperatures warm during the daytime and freeze at night,…

Tonight’s report is short and sweet.  Ice is looking great with 6-11”s across Upper Little Bay de Noc, but you gotta watch where you are going. Try to avoid the snow. The bare ice is the thickest. These GPS coordinates are for a patch of ice that is only 3-4”s thick. Avoid about 40 yards around this…

It was an incredibly exciting weekend at the Shop.  It’s been busy at the shop. Fortunately, we have excellent resources to keep stocked. Kaitlyn of Beavers Lures loaded us up with on Friday & again today. Thanks for the quick refill! We also got fresh bait Friday per usual and fell short Saturday night. So, Lacy…
