Another super day and it’s only gonna get better for anglers on the Noc. It’s February and a steady forecast should have fish snapping at our offerings. This upcoming weather pattern definitely will be favorable compared to the weather inconsistencies we dealt with the majority of January. Travel on the bay is great and we’ve…

It is 33° at 8 o’clock eastern time on Little Bay de Noc. That’s down from a high of 42° earlier today. The warm-up did knock down some of the snow and travel is pretty good. However, it did make for a mess in some spots. If you run into slush it’s gonna be deep…

The day started at 2° and we’re now at 30° for the rest of the night. Temperatures are only gonna go up from now until later tomorrow afternoon and peek around 37°. I guess we’ll see how sloppy it gets. By Wednesday the forecast is calling for teens for the highs and subzero at night…

The ice conditions on Little Bay remain great with plenty of new drifts to navigate. We’ll see tomorrow if today’s strong winds out of the south will push water up through the cracks. We are warming up to 23° tomorrow. It should feel balmy. Whenever I struggle to find a worthwhile picture to share I…
