Latest News
Fishing report out of Linwood as of 1-30-26. There is a crack about 2 miles out. Ice on shore side of crack is 14 inches, ice after crack was 11 inches almost 4 miles out. Crack is hard to cross with quads, The last 2 mornings including this one the crack was 3-4 feet wide with iffy ice on other side, Not a problem with sleds but bring planks if u have quads. ![]()
Both times yesterday n today in afternoon there was a big boom n ice moved n luckily it closed the crack later in afternoon n we were able to cross on quads going back, But the next morning it was open. It goes from bay city to Standish.
So sleds are way to go n u don’t have to worry bout the crack but then there is Not much snow on other side of crack so that causes issue for sleds. ![]()
Fish r scattered on west side. We caught jumbo perch everyday, few walleye over last few days n today a whitefish. But overall so far it’s not great on the west side. Hopefully that changes soon. ![]()
So overall the crack is an issue if bringing a quad or sxs, lack of snow is an issue for sleds, and it’s tough fishing right now. ![]()
Ice just got “safe” a couple days ago so it can only get better from here.
She’s making some good ice today on Saginaw Bay. -10!!! Now we’re talking! I’m feeling good about going out of Linwood next week. ![]()
