Ice Fishing Report

Are people driving vehicles out onto the ice yet?

Thanks!

It's been many years since I've sat on the bucket. Where are the best places to get on the ice starting from Dykesville to SB.

Ice in the lower bays in in good shape... a number of trucks on Little Sturgeon every day... The ice in Dykesville and south is also in pretty good shape...

I would use caution on any ice... especially the open bay north of Dykesville. There are some pressure cracks and a fair amount of shove ice.

Been hitting the lower bay at Suamico. 13 to 15" of ice and lots of driving up to a point shortly past littletail.
Not much action. Saw three guys running to a flag, that tells me it's a slow day

Any current info on ice conditions or fishing after the warm weekend. Coming up next Wed and are hoping not to have to haul 4wheelers. We have no real plan as of now and are open to any and all species so any info is helpful.

Tight Lines and Thanks in advance.

The ice is getting better every day... the water on top has frozen and it is very smooth.... The lower bay has had a lot of vehicle traffice the northern bay is still sketchy... some open cracks had water rolling into them from the rain on Sunday... The water running into them ate a lot of ice away making for even worse conditions, but the cold should have helps shore up those issues.... Good perch and whitefishing going on for us but the super cold has slowed things down this week.... Hopefully it will warm some by the weekend to make fishing a little easier and help get the fish to bite again...

Thanks Captain Scott...our group fished with you last year (we had the big trailer with the covered Gator and wheelers that we didn't have to use). Liked it up that way so much we are coming back this year. The perch were non-existent last year so that is great that they are potentially available! Any tips or areas you can give up for the perch would be greatly appreciated.
