Northstar Fishing Adventures – Ice Fishing

Make the most of winter and get back to nature with Northstar Fishing Adventures. The fish don’t hibernate when the lake freezes over, so head out on Lake Huron’s productive Saginaw Bay for an exciting day of fishing like never before.

Captain Andrew Hendrickson is a true outdoorsman. A fishing guide all year-round on the Great Lakes and beyond, he specializes in ice fishing in the winter. Having fished for over 35 years, he has all the experience necessary to get you reeling in some big and exciting fish.

Using a sonar – a specialized fishfinder for frozen bodies of water – you’ll seek out the most productive spots of the day. Captain Andrew and his mate will whizz you and up to 4 others away on the snowmobiles, before deciding where to set up camp. Watch as they drill with the auger, as you help set up the heated ice tent.

Try jigging with live bait to entice the bite of your target fish, or sit back and let the tip-up do the work. Get ready to spring into action at the sight of the moving flag, as you’ll be in for an intense battle to reel in a delicious treat. Yellow Perch may prove a little easier, but the tough-fighting Walleye will do anything to get away from the end of your line!

At the end of the trip, your captain or mate will clean and prepare your catch, so you’re in for a warming, tasty treat when you get home. All you need to do is bring some snacks and drinks for the trip and get ready for a thrilling day out. Northstar Fishing Adventures is ready to show you the best of winter fishing.

An avid fisherman of over 35 years, Captain Andrew got his captain's license in 2018 after deciding to turn his passion into a profession. He used to fish tournaments and has perfected his technique over a lifetime's fishing. However, running charters cannot compare to tournament fishing. Capt. Andrew just loves teaching people new techniques and – the best part of the job – seeing people having fun thanks to his guidance.
