Ice Conditions, Weather Reports, and More!

Everything I said yesterday about wind and weather conditions for today has come to fruition. We got about 5 inches of heavy snow too. This morning the wind blew out of the north, then after a brief moment of calm, switched to blow from the south. Of course it did. What would Little Bay de…

Temperatures couldn’t have been more comfortable out on the bay today. The wind on the other hand is the typical troublesome, nuisance that it can be. Over the next 24 hours, winds will be out of the northwest at 2-7mph until about 6 o’clock Tuesday morning. Then, it switches and picks up from outta the…

We are adding ice daily. Another cold snap is in the forecast over the weekend. But for today and tomorrow, its mild temperatures close to 30° with overcast skies. Mid week on the Noc offers low fishing pressure…and the weather weather today was unbeatable! Travel around the bay remains excellent. Pay attention to a few…

We have excellent ice conditions and are closing in on the 10” mark. Undoubtedly we’ll have a foot by this weekend. Tooling around the bay, I found no slush whatsoever. What I did find is hard drifts across parts of the bay formed by bitter cold southwest winds. Not very deep drifting, just firm. At…

The wind died down a bit and the snow has stopped blowing. Frigid temps have been in the works since our high of 24° just after midnight. The conditions yesterday made it difficult to know if you were getting in a slush pocket until it was too late. The brilliant sun today made navigating yesterdays…
