Report from the Dock – Minnesota Fishing Conditions
There was a bit more consistency in many Minnesota walleye fishing reports this week, especially during low-light periods of the day. In most areas, anglers have been covering water with spinner rigs and crawlers or crankbaits, while scopers are locating pods of fish and throwing jigs and slip-bobber rigs with crawlers. Deep weedlines and structure have been most productive, although a handful of reports indicate that pulling crankbaits at night in less than 10 feet has started producing walleyes as well.
Deep weeds and rocks have also been producing bigger panfish, with bluegills active along deeper weed edges during the day and crappies becoming more active in the evening. Sunfish can still be found in shallow weeds, but larger fish are often relating to deeper structure. Bass and northern pike are following similar patterns, with plenty of shallow fish available but better-quality fish holding around deeper vegetation and structure. Muskie anglers are also getting back at it with the cooler weather.

Leech Lake is producing walleye around Goose Island and the Snake Pit area, where a jig and crawler is working in 9 to 13 feet. Walleyes are also being caught along Greg’s Breakline in 12 to 15 feet. Trolling crankbaits on the north side of Goose Island and around the Annex is producing additional walleyes in 12 to 16 feet.
For Leech Lake muskie fishing, shallow rocks in less than 8 feet have been most productive, with small bucktails producing fish. Panfish are holding around the 6- to 9-foot cabbage and sand grass beds in Boy Bay, Sucker Bay, and Steamboat Bay.
