  • Ideal Fall Fishing on the Mississippi River near Minneapolis

    Ideal Fall Fishing on the Mississippi River near Minneapolis
    Oct 3 2024
    As we step into October 3rd, 2024, the Mississippi River around Minneapolis is offering some excellent fall fishing opportunities. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    First off, the Mississippi River, being a non-tidal river, does not have tides, but the water levels are currently low due to the lack of significant rainfall and snowmelt this year. However, the levels have stabilized somewhat after a period of low flow earlier in the year.

    The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 68 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 50 degrees. Sunrise is at 7:04 AM, and sunset will be at 6:47 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get out on the water.

    Fish activity has been strong, particularly for walleyes and saugers. Yesterday, anglers reported catching these species in various depths, ranging from 2 to 16 feet. The walleye and sauger bite continues to be robust as the water temperatures drop, with many quality fish up to 21 inches being caught.

    For lures, vertical jigging and Dubuque rigs are working well. Berkley bonefish, curlybones, ripple shads, and rib worms are good choices, along with hair jigs in colors like white ice, purples, and chartreuse. Crankbaits, either on leadcore or longline trolling, have also been effective, especially in areas with less bait.

    Panfishing remains good as well, with bluegills, crappies, and perch filling in the gaps when the walleyes quit biting. Small jigs with plastics or tipped with a chunk of crawler, used under a bobber or pitched, are recommended.

    Hot spots include the rock shorelines, wing dams, and areas with wood and weeds. Pool 4, which includes Lake Pepin, is particularly promising, with its unique fishery offering both size and quantity of walleyes and saugers.

    Overall, the conditions are ideal for a great day of fishing on the Mississippi River around Minneapolis. Get out there and enjoy the fall bite

  • Fall Fishing Forecast: Walleyes, Saugers, and Panfish Abound on the Mississippi River near Minneapolis

    Fall Fishing Forecast: Walleyes, Saugers, and Panfish Abound on the Mississippi River near Minneapolis
    Oct 2 2024
    As we step into October on the Mississippi River around Minneapolis, the fall fishing scene is shaping up to be quite promising. Today, October 2, 2024, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 68 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 50 degrees. Sunrise is at 7:04 AM, and sunset will be at 6:47 PM.

    Since the Mississippi River is non-tidal, water levels are currently slightly above normal but stabilizing, which is ideal for fishing. The recent drop in water temperatures has invigorated the fish, making for an exciting day on the water.

    Yesterday's fishing was excellent, with a strong walleye and sauger bite. Anglers reported catching good numbers of walleyes and saugers, many of which were quite girthy from putting on their fall weight. Panfish such as bluegills, crappies, and perch were also abundant, filling in the gaps when the walleyes were less active.

    For the best results, use crankbaits on leadcore or longline trolling, especially in areas with less bait. Casting hair jigs and crankbaits near wing dams and rock shorelines has also been productive. For panfish, small jigs with plastics or tipped with a chunk of crawler under a bobber work well.

    Hot spots include the areas around Lake Pepin and the river sections of Pool 4. The mid-lake basin flats and smaller, isolated humps are also worth exploring. Rock shorelines, wing dams, and weed beds continue to produce good numbers of fish.

    Overall, the conditions are ideal for a great day of fishing on the Mississippi River. Make sure to wear your life jacket and enjoy the crisp autumn weather.

  • Fishing the Mississippi River in the Fall: Walleye, Sauger, and Panfish Abundance

    Fishing the Mississippi River in the Fall: Walleye, Sauger, and Panfish Abundance
    Oct 1 2024
    As we step into October on the Mississippi River around Minneapolis, the fishing scene is looking promising. Here’s a snapshot of what you can expect today.

    ### Weather and Tidal Report
    The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 62°F and a low of 45°F. Since the Mississippi River is not a tidal river, water levels are more influenced by dam operations and rainfall. Currently, the water level is a bit above normal, but clarity and temperature are about what we expect for this time of year.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today is at 7:07 AM, and sunset will be at 6:43 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and evening fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    The fall season is a great time for fishing on the Mississippi River, with Walleye and Sauger being the main targets. As the water temperatures drop, these fish are feeding aggressively to prepare for winter. Yesterday saw a strong bite for both species, especially in areas with less bait fish activity. Panfishing for Bluegills, Crappies, and Perch has also been excellent, filling in the gaps when the Walleyes are not biting.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Yesterday, anglers reported catching Walleyes up to 23 inches and Saugers of similar size. The Panfish bite was strong, with good numbers of Bluegills, Crappies, and Perch being caught.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For Walleyes and Saugers, vertical jigging and Dubuque rigs are working well. Lures like Berkley bonefish, curlybones, ripple shads, and rib worms are effective. Hair jigs in white, purple, and chartreuse colors are also producing results. For Panfish, small jigs with plastics or tipped with a chunk of crawler under a bobber are recommended.

    ### Hot Spots
    Pool 4, which includes Lake Pepin, is a hotspot for Walleye and Sauger fishing. Areas around wing dams, rock shorelines, and wood structures are producing good numbers. The stretch of the river above and below Lake Pepin, particularly around Lock and Dam 3 and Lock and Dam 4, is also worth exploring.

    Overall, it's shaping up to be a great fall on the Mississippi River, with plenty of opportunities to catch a variety of fish species. Make sure to book your trip soon, as the weather can change quickly this time of year.
