Ice Fishing Updates 2025

It looks like there could be 75 to 100 shanties out between South Bass and Rattlesnake area. Any of you care to give us a fishing report? I'm planning to head up to Saginaw Bay in about 2 weeks to see if we can get into some eyes. First time trying my hand at catching walleye through the ice, they tell me there's nothing like it. Good luck and be safe out there!

Planning on going to Sag. Bay if you aren't taking a snowmobile during boards to get across the cracks

We are actually going with a guide so I trust he will be experienced with those kind of issues. Thanks for the heads up!

I believe it is Northstar Fishing Adventures out of Standish. I know this isn't a Saginaw Bay site, but I may report how we did after the trip. Heading out today...

Ice fishing continues at South Bass. This weekend's cold weather should keep the ice in good condition. Warmer temps coming this week, then a few days of colder, then warmer again. Ice could hold up for another week / weekend. We'll see.
