Another great week in the ice! Most groups had good success. Waxies and artificial bait working good in those traditional whitefish rigs. We had a fish that measured 26”, I have not seen one that big in a couple years.
Ice depth ranges from 18”-23” in the offshore locations. The cracks seems to be all healed up and increasing in depth. I have availability up to the weekend. Drop us a line if your interested in getting out this week

The past warm up and strong south did not hurt any of the ice pack around the sturgeon Bay Area.
We are still fishing the deep off shore structure with 18-24 “ of ice. The cold this week will help stiffen the cracks even more.
Shipping traffic in to Green Bay is over. Ice should even lock more. Ice pack extends all the way to Deaths Door.
The fishing the past couple days has been decent, anglers who focus and pay attention are having the most success. The bite is some of the lightest I have seen. The size of the fish this year seems to be the same or better. Also we have been catching some very small white fish 8”-10”. This is good to see and are from the 2014-2015 hatch. Good signs.
Opening this weekend
I just had a house open for Saturday 2-3 and Sunday 2-4 for a guided group. Please contact me for availability. 920 493 2953
I just had a couple openings for this coming Saturday. I have 2-2 person houses available for Saturday. Fishing has been decent the past week.
Thanks JJ
I have an unexpected opening for this Saturday, 1-21. Please call or text 920 493 2953
We are on the off shore structure and the bite has been pretty good all week. All groups with limit catches. Typical whitefish slider rigs working really well aswell as a variety of other techniques. Fish seem to be bigger and “chunkier”. Its fun reeling those fish up from 90FOW!
We made it through this warm up pretty good. Just a couple cracks near shore we need to navigate but those are healing up nicely. The off shore cracks hardly moved all week and are going to get strong with the cold snap. The ice is SUPER smooth and cleats are a MUST!
OPENINGS-
I have two houses open for Sunday, Please give me a call to book them
Thanks JJ

fishing remains pretty strong on the off shore structure with limit catches. We have some opening this coming weekend and throughout the week.
NOW BOOKING!
Feel good to be back on the ice and fishing the deep off shore structure again. We have moved out to our traditional whitefish spots and the fishing has been very good with limit catches very common.
Fishing with traditional whitefish rigs has been best in depths 60-80FOW. His seem to be nice and healthy looking. We have availability for this upcoming weekend and weekdays. If your thinking to get our just get ahold of JJ.
Looking forward to a great winter and seeing some familiar faces!

We are slowly getting out to some of our near shore spots. Good catches of whitefish, not hot and heavy but plenty to keep anglers entertained. We will be venturing out deep soon, hopefully this coming week. Fished Friday morning with a good catch of fish, plus a bonus Walleye on a slider! Starting soon! Fish look healthy and chunky!

Had a really good couple of days making ice on Green Bay. We have been checking conditions daily. The bay seems to be froze almost to chambers island. There are a couple open pockets here and there but for the most part its froze. The locations we fish we have not checked yet, just letting the ice depth grow. We will be checking those soon. Hope to be out there in a week. . ICE ICE ICE!!
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. The cold weather is coming and its going to be cold. Monday looks like very high winds on Christmas day. After that there is another cold air intrusion going into the new year. We are still booking trips, and are filling up very quickly. If your thinking about getting out please shoot me an email or a call.
There is some ice in the inner harbors of Door County. Little Sturgeon and Sawyer have some ice, varies in thickness. Please use extreme caution when venturing out.
