The fish are still hungry.
This last week we had a mix bag of Northern Pike and Bass. Most of the fish were caught on spinnerbaits casting into 6' to 10' of water. The fish are up in the weed beds. A steady retrieve over the tops of the weeds has worked best for us. But we did catch a few fish trolling crankbaits in 4-5' of water. And the fish have been hitting hard! So fun!
Remember this time of year, you need to wear layers. If the wind lays back and the sun is out, you may need to shed a layer. But the water temps are now in the low 50's. So, if it's cloudy and windy you will be glad you are wearing layers. The nice part of this time of year is very little boat traffic on Lake Minnetonka. All you will see is a few fishermen and a few barges taking docks and lifts out of the lake. Also use caution because all of the buoys have been pulled for the season. You don't want to hit a rock or sand bar and have to buy a new prop at the end of the season.
The ice fishing season is around the corner so if you are thinking about booking an ice house it's not too early.
