Little Bay de Noc Fishing Reports

I got a couple panicked phone calls today from guys on the upper bay. One guy was calling from the Vagabond, saying there was A LOT of water on the ice. Another saying the same thing about the yellow gate access. Apparently the strong southerly winds today are pushing a lot of water back into the bay, forcing some of it out onto the ice.

I drove up to Gladstone at lunch time to check things out. The ice and the access areas near the Shell station and the harbor were both dry as a bone. It looked like there was some standing water off the campgrounds and Saunder's Point, (open water at the point, now.) Kipling appeared to be in good shape, with no standing water that I could see.

Once the wind dies down, most of that water should drain off, and the return of cold temps should firm things up well over the course of the coming week.

If anyone that was out today has any more information, please add it here.
