  • Ideal Fishing Conditions on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis this November 23rd

    Ideal Fishing Conditions on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis this November 23rd
    Nov 23 2024
    For November 23rd on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, here’s what you can expect:

    **Weather and Conditions:**
    Today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 45°F and a low of 28°F. The water temperature is in the mid-40s, which is typical for this time of year.

    **Sunrise and Sunset:**
    Sunrise is at 7:02 AM, and sunset is at 4:34 PM.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Yesterday saw a decent bite on the river. Anglers reported catching walleye, sauger, and some northern pike. The cooler water temperatures have started to push fish into their fall patterns.

    **Fish Caught:**
    Walleye and sauger were the main catches, with some anglers reporting fish in the 18-22 inch range. Northern pike were also active, particularly in the shallower bays and rocky points.

    **Best Lures and Bait:**
    For walleye and sauger, jigging with frozen emerald shiners or fathead minnows has been highly effective. Trolling spinners on the weed edges can also attract these species. For northern pike, large suckers fished under a bobber in shallow bays or near river mouths have been successful.

    **Hot Spots:**
    Pool 2 of the Mississippi River, from Ford Dam to Hastings Dam, is a great place to catch a variety of fish species. This area includes all backwaters and connected lakes, except for a few specific ones like Crosby and Pickerel lakes. Another hot spot is the St. Croix River from Taylors Falls to the confluence with Pool 3 of the Mississippi River, which offers solid fishing for walleye, sauger, muskie, and smallmouth bass.

    **Tidal Report:**
    Since the Mississippi River is not a tidal waterway, there are no tidal changes to consider.

    Overall, the fishing conditions are favorable, and with the right lures and bait, you should have a good day on the water. Make sure to check the current regulations for any catch-and-release restrictions, especially for walleye, sauger, largemouth, and smallmouth bass in Pool 2.

  • Autumn Bounty on the Mississippi: Walleye, Sauger, and Panfish Thriving Despite Chilly Temps

    Autumn Bounty on the Mississippi: Walleye, Sauger, and Panfish Thriving Despite Chilly Temps
    Nov 22 2024
    As of November 22, 2024, the fishing scene on the Mississippi River, particularly around the Minneapolis area, is quite promising despite the chilly autumn weather.

    ### Weather and Conditions
    The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with temperatures ranging from the mid-30s to the mid-40s Fahrenheit. Water temperatures are around 38°F, which is typical for this time of year. The river's water level is currently low, resulting in reduced current flow.

    ### Fish Activity
    Walleye and Sauger are the main targets this time of year, and the bite has been consistent. Yesterday saw a good number of quality fish up to 21 inches being caught. The fish are scattered throughout the river, including areas from Lake Pepin to the dam.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    Vertical jigging and using Dubuque rigs have been highly effective. Berkley Powerbait, specifically curly bones, bonefish, rib worms, and ripple shads in green, purple, and white colors, are the top producers. Stickbaits on 3-way rigs are also working well. For those preferring live bait, small jigs with plastics or tipped with a chunk of crawler have been successful for panfish like Bluegills, Crappies, and Perch.

    ### Hot Spots
    Focus your efforts on the northern part of Pool 4, particularly the upper part of Lake Pepin and areas around Wabasha, which still has a strong Walleye bite. Rock shorelines, wing dams, and areas with wood and weeds are also producing good numbers.

    ### Additional Tips
    Use your side imaging to locate schools of fish, as this can significantly improve your chances of a successful catch. With the low current flow, fish can be found almost anywhere in the channel.

    Overall, it's a great time to be out on the Mississippi River, and with the right gear and knowledge, you're likely to have a productive and enjoyable fishing trip.

    ### Weather and Tidal Report
    The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 45°F and a low of 32°F. While the Mississippi River does not have tides, water levels are currently stable after recent adjustments. Check the DNR's Cooperative Stream Gaging for the latest water levels before you head out.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset

Walleyes are being found on the outside weed edges and off the deeper breaks. Channel catfish and freshwater drum are also plentiful, especially around structure like dams and rocky areas.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Anglers reported catching several eater-sized walleyes and saugers, along with some larger channel catfish. The Minnesota River, which is connected to the Mississippi, has been yielding good numbers of channel catfish, freshwater drum, and walleye[2][4].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For walleyes, Lindy rigs tipped with fathead minnows (4-6 inches) are highly effective. Trolling crankbaits using the 3-way swivel and drop weight method is also working well. For channel catfish and freshwater drum, nightcrawlers and chicken livers are good bait options. Muskie anglers are having success dragging large minnows on bobbers along the weed edges[3][4].

    ### Hot Spots
    - Below the Ford Dam in Minneapolis, the river offers good structure for walleye and sauger.
    - The area around the confluence of the Minnesota River and the Mississippi River is known for its diverse fish population, including channel catfish and freshwater drum.
    - Wegdahl County Park near Montevideo is a popular spot with good boat access and amenities, and it's known for its channel catfish and walleye fishing[2].

    Remember to dress warmly and stay safe on the water. Enjoy your day on the Mississippi River
