Hey Everyone, Warm weather is racking havoc on ice formation. Still no fishable ice on Green Bay. There are some guys fishing the inner bay, like little sturgeon. I am currently up in little bay de noc, again fishing. Good ice up here 6-10″ Think Cold!

Hey Guys, I apologize for being off the grid the past couple days. I was up in Little Bay De Noc. What an amazing fishery. We iced a lot of nice fish. Two years in a row we have iced fish at the 30″ mark. If you never fished it you shoud try it! Would be well worth your time.
Ice Report
Contrary to other reports for the area there is no ice on Green Bay in the Door Peninsula area. There however is ice in some of the surround bays such as little sturgeon. I saw several groups of guys fishing there. There is ice from Wave Point inward. The mouth remains open aswell as the bay.
Green Bay is iced over from Chaudoirs dock south. I would be EXTREMELY cautious of venturing out in that area. We have a good week of ice making weather ahead of us, lows in the single digits.
I am really looking forward to getting on some whitefish and Walleyes, It wont be to long! I will be out tomorrow on the ice in Little Sturgeon check ice depth.
If your sick of watching last years videos, These below are only 24 hours old! Enjoy!

Hey I am up in little bay de noc. Will be out on the ice fishing tomorrow morning. We have about 3-4 inches of ice. Will have a fishing report tomorrow.
JJ
We had a low of 9 last night. We had some great ice formation last night. Here are some pictures of this morning.
Hey Everyone!
Well the cold temps have finally arrived to the Door Peninsula. Ice formation is in fully swing in many of the inner bays. (Riley’s, Little Sturg,) Little Sturgeon has about 35% of its total bay covered with a skim of ice. I walked out about 100 yards off shore and had about 2″ of ice. NOT FISHABLE YET! I was only in 2-3fow.
Low temps are predicted to hover in the low teens to upper single digits. Light winds will put ice making into over drive! We have an ice fishing prize pack we are giving away check it out on Facebook

I had a very successful winter last year, baring the conditions. I ended my ice season with
all the gear I started with. No stranded shacks or customers. Safety is a word often over used in this business. Last year the ice was safe for one month. Fished hard and had success. Looking forward to another one this year, I cant wait!
Upgraded most of my video gear. You will sure enjoy the videos we produce this year!
We are going to make ice tonight and I will have some content of that tomorrow.

Well we are a week away from there’s no ice on Green Bay. there’s supposed to be a big storm system coming in on Christmas Day that will bring arctic air back into the region. really looking forward to that storm system. Last weekend I was at the Wisconsin ice show in Wausau, pretty cool show for its first time. I will start to update this page daily if the weather is favorable for ice formation.
Think Cold, JJ
Just got back from the St.Paul Ice show. If you have never gone you should go. Its the Super Bowl of ice fishing. Had alot of fun. The warm temps are sure making most ice anglers nervous about the up coming ice season. I am very confident it will be a cold winter. I will be at the Wisco ice fishing show in Wausau this weekend. Stop by and say hi.
Think Cold, JJ
With the cold temps finally here most of us are staring to dig out the ice fising gear. I hope everyone had a good fall. The fishing was pretty good for most, when you could get out. I will be giving updates on this page as the ice forms. This week the temps look good but this weekend looks a bit warm. Stay tuned for latest ice reports. Dont forget to like JJs Guide Service on facebook!
Even with the temps almost hitting 100 degrees the salmon are still going strong. Most guide trips are limiting out or still coming very close to there limits. Fish are ranging any where from 8-23lbs so far. I suspect the size will be increasing as the summer continues. Water temps are 68-72 in spots. There is no real bait patterns flasher and flies along with flies are still working pretty good! Give me a jingle to get in on this amazing bite!
JJ
Well I must admit I have never seen such a fantastic salmon bite in my life! The unusual spring has the salmon ahead of the game. We have been fishing the Kings any where from 80-170- fow with GREAT catches coming almost every day. Most trips are coming in with there limits or very close. There is really no pattern, spoons, flies,dipsys…you name it, there hitting it. In my years of salmon fishing I have never seen such a amazing bite like this!
Was out on Tuesday and we had our cooler full in a little over an hour with a couple fish getting off. Fish range any where from 8-21lbs. I anticipate the bite to hold for the next few weeks. Now is the time to get in on the world class salmon bite!
Thanks Capt. JJ
