Walleye fishing in the Park Rapids area remains strong. They can be found cruising the weed lines and also deep summer structures. Live bait rigs tipped with minnows and night crawlers will produce fish. Look in the depth ranges of 10 to 13 feet on the Weed lines and on the deep summer structures 20 […]
Fishing around the Park Rapids area is awesome. Walleyes are hitting pearl white crankbaits trolled along the shallow weed edges in the 10 ft range. Pike are eating chartreuse spinner baits slowly rolled through deep weed beds in the 15 ft range. Bluegills are schooled heavily on the deep weed lines and are being caught […]
Capt. Josh lets us know what’s biting and how to reel them in! We have been hammering the Walleyes all week. Lindy rigs and crawlers at the lake basins 30-40 ft deep. A red #2 hook is a good bet. Crappies remain strong in the shallow weed beds at 6-10 ft using a jig and […]
Park rapids fishing is on fire. Explosive smallmouth Bass fishing on rock piles or points using tube jigs in 8-13 ft of water. Walleyes are cruising deep jumps in the 20-35 ft range. Try a crawler spinner combo. Pike are in the cabbage hitting chartreuse spinner baits retrieved or trolled just below the surface. Big […]
Walleye fishing has been consistent throughout the Park Rapids area. Fish are being caught on weed bed cabbage flats in the 6 to 10 foot depth range trolling spinners and leeches. Walleyes are also being caught on the new deeper Weed lines in the 12 to 17 foot range using jig and leech or Minnow […]
Look for the biggest spawning Bluegills and Crappies in the 4-7 ft range—just out of site, use your sonar to “mark” the fish. Catch them using jig/minnow/ bobber combo. The Walleyes are chomping hard on any new weed line/sand bottom combo. A jig and Minnow will catch the fish all day long. Pike are […]
Smallmouth Bass are in shallow getting ready to spawn as well as the Largemouth—so the shallow bite is on! They will hit about anything! Please release the Bass!! Other fish are better table fair—like Crappies which about done spawning—however on some lakes the can still be found in the shallows—you have to check on each […]
Go get those crappies! Snow is melting and that means the masses of Crappies and Bluegills will be getting closer to shallower water. For now I have been finding fish in a variety of depths, but for the most part in the 12-20 ft. range where they have been most of the winter. There is […]
What works this week, directly from Minnesota Fishing Guide Service. Holy snow batman! Travel is getting a little more difficult now with the deeper snow on the ice, but the fishing is hanging in there! The fish on the shallower lakes are showing some signs of low oxygen levels so concentrate your efforts on the […]
More snow is good for fishing too, this week’s Minnesota Fishing Guide Service’s Report tells us why… New snow has put the blinders on the fish making it nice and dark under the ice. The mid-day Pike bite has been good. All sizes are starting to feed aggressively due to spawning time in a few […]
