It was 43° to start the morning. The first anglers didn’t arrive to the bait shop until 7 o’clock today. That’s the latest since we opened January 1st. It was rainy most of the day and the low is supposed to be 39° over the next 24 hours. Rivers are flowing. Ice conditions as of…

The Kipling landing is all but shot. There is a foot round hole at the landing that’s just getting bigger. The picture today is me with my 5ft ice bar dangling from the rope not hitting bottom. I went around it with Mr. BA on tracks, but that’s probably the last time this season for…

Today is the start of the end. It’s going to be 52° and above freezing temps for the next few days. There is still a little snow and minimal slush on the bay. So far so good. Back into the teens Thursday night through the weekend to firm up what’s left for the remainder of…

It was 3° this morning. If I were a betting man, I’d say it’s the last time we’re gonna see a temperature that low until next season. We’ll take it though. The cold night should help keep safe ice through the end of walleye season. The warm temperatures starting Monday and rain in the forecast…

Today was an uneventful day on the Noc with a lot of sunshine and a stiff breeze. We’ve had a fair number of anglers talking about the bite….or should I say the lack there of. The good news is, ice conditions remain excellent! It took a while today for fish to come in to be…

The second to last weekend of the walleye season is upon us. The ice conditions are incredible but probably won’t last. Best to get here now. If you didn’t listen last week, you missed the bite Friday, Saturday and Sunday for sure. With Monday’s cold front and tight lips all week, they’ll need to eat…

It was another sunshine filled day on Little Bay de Noc. Ice conditions remain incredible on the Upper Bay. Travel around the reefs and the mud flats is still a little bumpy which means we’re not melting off. That’s good! At the top of the bay is another story. Roads plowed earlier in the season…

Long day on the bay and time got away. Short report just like the bite. Lookers but not many takers. Hoping some big eyes show up hungry in the shallows tonight. Ice conditions remain excellent. We are losing a few inches from underneath with the warm up. Our guests from the other side of the…

Windy, windy, windy day on the bay. I guess the heavy appetite this past weekend has come to an end. Far fewer anglers to report but even our diehards had a tough go of it today. Travel on the upper bay remains excellent. Probably going to melt off the remaining snow soon. With the low…
