Alpena Area Fishing Report

February 19th, 2025

2-17-25 Alpena County
We braved the snowstorm this weekend searching for the $5000 Perch or $5000 Walleye. We didn't get any big enough but we did have an amazing Walleye dinner instead. With only less than a month of the ice season left the fishing should take off soon. Late ice can be absolutely amazing with many different species getting ready for spawning. It's also not too late to get the open water dates locked in. Yesterday alone I booked 7 dates for customers looking forward to the 2025 season and not wanting to miss out. Whether it's ice or boat you should get something scheduled before you forget. Hope to see you all soon. Tight Lines All. CBC. ????

If you would like to join us for some ice fishing action this winter we would love to take you out so shoot us a message. Rates for fully guided ice trips will be $125 per angler and $300 minimum for the entire day on the ice.

We will be trolling in mid to late March hopefully. We are and have been scheduling groups for the 2025 season for both Ayvery on the 26' Angler Qwest tritoon and myself on my 232 Grady White Gulfstream. First come first serve on the dates so get yours scheduled as soon as you have a date picked out. If you schedule before January 1st 2025 we will honor the 2023 and 2024 prices since I haven't increased in several years. The 2025 price list will only be $50 which isn't much but is an inevitable aspect to running a business long term.

2025 spring summer and fall prices will be as follows:

1-2 people $550
3 anglers $600
4 anglers $650
5 anglers $700
6 anglers $750
