Pike Fishing.
October 1, 2025
There are more and bigger pike starting to move shallow.
The pike we are catching are coming on spinnerbaits in 6' to 12' of water. We are also having a few musky following up to the boat. But unfortunately, didn't catch any of them this week. The bass are coming from 2.5' to 12' on plastics and spinnerbaits. The weather has been nice and warm, and the water temp has still been in the upper 60's to low 70's. It's time to get out before the snow flies.
The ice is now off of Lake Minnetonka and the open water fishing season has begun. Get your fishing rods ready to target them hungry crappies on the warmer days.
Once we get the warmer weather and the ice is off the crappies will move in. Try slow moving plastics or a bobber with a gulp alive minnow in the northern bays.
The warm weather will soon melt the snow and ice and we will be fishing for Largemouth bass and crappies in the shallow coves of Lake Minnetonka and other lakes.
