Oak Island Fishing Reports

[kingr]

We are interested in trying the islands this year. What resorts run the bombardiers up to those areas from the states side for day ice trips? I know of Wigwam and Sportsmans.

Thanks for the help guys

Riverbend and Snobies Ice Fishing both run there. Snobies headquarters out of Riverbend as far as meeting clients etc but are totally seperate from the resort. Darren and Baron at Snobies are great guys, Charlie and the crew at Riverbend do a good job. Both will get you to the reefs.

Not sure if they are up there yet. I'm headed back on 1/18 and we'll see at that time. It might be a little early yet to be pulling up there, but it should certainly be under way very soon. Late March can be awesome. Good luck

Turck, thanks for the info, I needed to dig to find Snobe's deal. I wouldn't have found them onmy own that's for sure.

Glad you found it. Wasn't sure if I could put their link up or not. I'll be seeing them next week. Even though I've run with Riverbend the past 9 years, we share some stories when I'm up that way. They are great guys, you'll enjoy both of the guys. They also will take care of cleaning and packing your fish, just as Riverbend will do.

I would also reccomend looking into the guided SnoBear trip that Sportsmans lodge offers. Fully guided day trip up north with everything included. All you have to do is show up at the front door of the lodge and get in!! Nice thing is that your able to be as mobile as you want all day long instead of being stuck in one house all day (not that this is a bad thing) but if the fishing is slow, you have the option to pick up quickly and move to a new location to hopefully find some biters!

NAMA: Good option for sure. Do you run yours for hire?

I will on occasion, don't do it a whole lot as I fish the Angle area a bunch and I tend to stay up there for the whole weekend. I do and I have done a few trips a year... I try not to turn pleasure into work though! Thanks....

Thanks for the help guys, it turned out that Borderview was the only place that worked out as far as scheduling. So the trip is booked.
