Sorry for the lack of posting. Here is a quick run down of the current ice conditions. Despite the cold blast we had mid January we still have vast amounts of open water in the bay of Green Bay. After this short arctic blast myself and another guide chartered an air plane to survey the ice pack on the Bay. We took this ride on the 14th of January. What we observed was very similar to what we saw last year. Large open sections of water, what we call thermal pockets. This was very disappointing to see. We continued our ride north through Green Island and Chambers Island. We saw large opens sections of water and wide cracks transecting the bay.

The fallowing week the temperatures rose into the mid 30’s. We have had above normal temperatures since then. Much of the ice on the bay is being manipulated by the by the winds and currents. Nothing is locked in. The near shore ice is 8-12″ but is severely compromised with the prolonged above normal temperatures.

Looking ahead we are hoping we can offer some fishing opportunities if the weather cooperates mid month and beyond. This is really disappoint to have another year similar to last year, however there is growing confidence for colder temps to coming into the later half of February and early march. Time will tell.

Thanks Captain JJ
