I am looking for a guide to ice fish little Bay de noc, can anyone steer me in the right direction please. Any recommendations?  Thanks in advance for your help.

Try calling Bayview bait and tackle for recommendations, 906-786-1488. I'm not sure if there are many ice fishing guides on LBDN, I know there is in the summer.

Anybody have any current ice conditions down on the bay? Mainly seeing how it’s looking south of Gladstone?

South of Gladstone to the Bombay was open water a few days ago, It is just locking up the last few days. This south blow today might not be good. will check it later today.

For what it's worth, this was from the February 20 MDNR fishing report:

Little Bay De Noc: After the cold temperatures, anglers were as far south as the Ford River. Walleye anglers had mixed results; however, bigger fish were starting to show up. The better areas to fish were the Center Reef in 24 to 32 feet, near the Escanaba River in 30 to 35 feet, the “Black Bottom” in 25 to 30 feet or south of Aronson Island in 30 to 35 feet. Anglers were using jig raps or tip-ups with minnows. Perch anglers also had mixed results. The best areas were Kipling near the green buoy in 21 to 35 feet or Escanaba near the ship docks in 30 to 35 feet with wigglers or minnows. The occasional pike also was caught. The whitefish anglers have not had a lot of success this year. A few were caught near Gladstone when using minnows in 35 feet.

It's been a solid year for me over all. Here are just some of my pics of limits from this year. Travel is decent but a bit rough from the drifting of snow.
