Ice Conditions, Weather Reports, and More!

February 3rd, 2021Another sunny day on Little Bay de Noc. Anglers struggled to get much up the hole. Marks, light bites or nothing at. We welcomed some guests from over by Luck Wisconsin this week.

Not much to report as my day was spent off the ice. According to anglers this morning, yesterday‘s bite was slow which is right in line with several fishing forecasts I follow. Speaking of those forecasts. The next three days should be a solid bite after a little lull and the end of a moon…
