Feels good to be back on the ice after this warm up. We started running guide trips Thursday on our deep water spots. The ice has held up pretty good after the warm up. Nothing to was majorly effected. Good catches of whitefish for those who fished and payed attention to the technique. We noticed that you had to pay very close attention to the technique the past few days to get on the bite. Typical whitefish rigs in 50-80 foot with no particular depth working better. Some really big fish this weekend.

I had a last minute cancelation early in the week. I have Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday with some room if your looking to get out. Give me a call. Ill know mid week if there is any last minute cancellations for the weekend.

Talk about a January thaw! The temps on the peninsula have not been kind to the ice. The ice depth remains pretty consistent on the whitefish grounds with 12-14″. Last Thursday a large crack opened up on the far north end of Larson reef and left some ice houses stranded. Luckily there was no one on the “bad”  side of the crack when it opened. The ice houses were recovered safely Saturday.

We had to unfortunately last minute cancel most of our groups just because of the warm up, crack, and rain. Since Sunday the ice remains intact with no new cracks. The ice still seems to be good. We drilled and inspected the ice to our “first deep water” spot. Late last week before the warm up the fish was darn good with quick limit catches on the traditional whitefish rigs.

We should be running full steam from Thursday on out, if you have questions about you reservations contact JJ at 920-493-2953 via text or voice. We are getting snow tonight and the temps begin to get below zero!

We are monitoring the ice, daily, by the hour.

We Looking forward to fishing with you soon.

Sure feels good to be back on the deep whitefish spots. Fishing has been pretty good on the traditional whitefish rigs. Fishing with gulp waxies on the sliders has been working 60-90 foot. Starting to seem some smaller whitefish under 14″ but still plenty of 16″+ fish. Fishing remains pretty consistent with limit catches for most groups.

Currently raining in Door County. We will be making a call late Thursday in regards to our fishing this coming weekend. We have around 12-14″ ice and the cracks are good. MODIS image looks good with lots of ice north of the the islands.

I have some room for Friday and two shacks that just came open for this weekend. They won’t last long!

I have availability for this coming friday 1-13 and sunady 1-15. I may have some availability for saturday. . The ice has weathered the storm. Fishing has been pretty good.

We have the fish houses out to our traditional whitefish grounds. We will start running trips Sunday 1-8-17 through the rest of the winter!

The ice is pretty good, great fishing awaits!

The ice is really improving over the past couple days. The ice pack extends along the entire Door Peninsula. We will be checking ice over the next couple of days and will have details of when we will start guide trips. Here are a couple shots from MODIS.
