Check-in time on the Bay started yesterday and hasn’t stopped since. Ice anglers from near and far have converged on Little Bay de Noc to test their skills or get lucky. If only I were referring to icing walleye. As it turns out, my full moon premonitions of craziness came to fruition in broad daylight today. Seldom do I include information about the Bay that I haven’t personally witnessed, however, after several reports and a video with convincing evidence, it seems someone attempted to drive northbound through the Narrows of Gladstone in a pickup truck trailering a wheeler…and made it! So, what do you think? Luck or skill? Probably neither. It’s fate; luck or skill doesn’t apply to anyone who does something that stupid and lives. Told you. Full moon crazy. If you’re uncertain of places to avoid on Little Bay de Noc, stop in the shop ask and we can show you on the map.

1st Sunrise of 2026🎉

The first day of 2026 is definitely one to remember. A Suburban ventured out onto the ice, marking the beginning of truck travel. Some predicted that this mode of transportation on the Bay would happen much sooner than in recent years, and they were correct. The addition of 7 inches of well-saturated snow and below-zero temperatures provided a total thickness of 17-20 inches of ice. To all the ice experts sitting on their couch wishing instead of fishing… Go love yourself! On the other hand, if motorized transportation is your preferred method of getting around, be sure your insurance policy includes towing and recovery, with an emphasis on recovery. We also assisted anglers out onto ice today Shuttling them with our Honda Side-by-Side tugging them out in our 21ft ASST. The prime spots are first come, first served, so getting out early provides an excellent opportunity to get on your desired structure before the masses arrive on Friday. Camp Little Bay de Noc is sure to reach capacity this weekend; check in early if you can. Ice conditions are incredible. The ability to travel the Bay is effortless on a rock-hard ice surface with plenty of traction. This doesn’t happen often and is sure to change throughout the season. Enjoy the smooth ride while you can.
