Hey guys, me and a buddy got some time off to go ice camping/fishing in mid January. I’ve been concerned with ice conditions given how it seems spring is already here lol. I was hoping to do some ice camping near lake Skegemog but I’m certain that’s not frozen over yet due to temps. We’ve...
Does anyone have a lead on sleeper Shanty rentals here in Michigan? Can be guided or unguided. I'm based out of South Central, but willing to drive anywhere.

Hello ice fisherman,
I am heading out to Lake of the Woods at the end of the month to do some ice fishing. We are staying at a lodge on the Rainy River and plan to fish out of their shanties. Looking for advice as to what type of rods to bring along (length and action), any suggestions for jigs...
Hey all, longtime lurker here, first time poster.
Long story short, I moved up to the Traverse City area 2 winters ago, and have since taken up ice fishing. I love it, have had moderate success with perch/panfish with no electronics, but that's it. I recently found out this may be my last winter...

I am planning to join the sturgeon spearing fun at Black Lake this year for the first time. I know it's probably a long shot for me to actually get one, especially having no experience at it, but it sounds like a really fun time either way. I know my 6 and 3 year old sons will love seeing the...
Heading up to to Tea Lake in the Lewiston area for a New Years ice fishing trip. We had no luck when up there for two days last winter, but if anyone has any tips on the lake or surrounding lakes, i'd love to hear them. People say there are eyes in Tea, but I've yet to see them. Would love to...
I want to take my dad out ice fishing and found someone who I can rent a cottage from to ice fish for 4 days. Is it worth the money for these lakes? Is there any good ice fishing to be had? And any information on these lakes would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone stay save and tight lines.
I'm a new student at MSU and I'm looking to ice fish within the next couple weeks. Are there any good pike lakes around the Lansing area? I fished Lake Lansing and caught a ton of small fish but I am looking for some bigger ones.
Thanks,
Getting it started a bit earlier this year, hopefully will see some water start to lock up with the incoming cold front.
Feel free to post up ice and fishing reports as the weather changes.
