Ice 🧊 Fishing 🎣 On Little Bay De Noc
Typically, the low-light times of dawn and dusk are your best bets. I'm not saying that midday can't be good at times, but in my experience low-light times of day are the most productive. Bay de Noc does have a decent night bite, so this is a fishery you can burn the midnight oil on if you so choose.🧊🎣

Little Bay De Noc Ice Fishing..
Ice is here! As many of you know, I am an absolute ice fishing maniac. As the temps plummet outside, my blood starts boiling with anticipation for what is arguably my favorite fishing season of all. I’m usually one of the first guys out on the hard water; using a lifetime of experience to safely assess the ice conditions and get on fish that haven’t been bothered in a month or more. Early ice is probably the most productive of the season, so I try to get out and start punching holes as soon as conditions safely permit. Crappies, bluegills, perch, pike; you name it. I love catching all of them on Wisconsin’s numerous fine ice fisheries. I am, however, a walleye guy and there is one place just north of the Wisconsin border that is probably one of the finest trophy walleye ice fisheries around: Bay de Noc.
Icing Bay de Noc Gold 🧊🎣
A short drive up Hwy 35 along The Bay of Green Bay’s west shore will lead you to Escanaba, MI and on it’s doorstep lies Little Bay de Noc. This little bay (as far as Great Lakes are concerned) on the north end of Lake Michigan holds good numbers of 10 lb.+ caliber walleyes from late fall into the ice season. There are many points of access with good bait and tackle shops in the Escanaba/Gladstone area that can gear you up with everything you need for your trophy walleye expedition. Bay Shore Resort (1323 N. Lake Shore Drive, Gladstone, MI 49837 906-428-9687) is a notable establishment that has a state boat launch right on its doorstep offering extreme convenience. They have a fine selection of live bait along with plenty of tackle options. We’ve stopped by numerous times during our filming trips for Larry Smith Outdoors and the service has been great. Close proximity to bay access is a huge plus.
