Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Superior fishing report for March 15, 2025.

Let me tell ya, it's a chilly one out there today. We're looking at temps around 28°F with a stiff northwest wind making it feel even colder. Bundle up if you're heading out! The sun's peeking over the horizon at 7:23 AM and will dip back down at 7:15 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to work with.

Now, onto the fishing. The big lake's been pretty active lately, with some nice catches reported despite the cold. Anglers have been pulling in good numbers of lake trout, with some beauties in the 26-36 inch range. Coho salmon are starting to show up too, mostly in the 14-16 inch class. A few lucky folks have even landed some walleye and northern pike near the shallows.

For you tide watchers, we've got a high tide at 3:02 AM and another at 3:17 PM, with lows at 9:30 AM and 9:21 PM. Keep in mind, these tides are pretty minimal on Superior, only about 4-5 inches difference.

As for hot spots, the area around the Duluth entry has been producing well, especially in 20-30 foot depths. Wisconsin Point's also been good to anglers willing to brave the cold. If you're looking to stay a bit closer to shore, try casting near Kreher Park - they've been pulling in a mixed bag of species there.

Lure-wise, jigging spoons have been the ticket for lake trout. The Williams Wabler in hammered silver or brass is always a good bet. For salmon, try trolling with some deep-diving crankbaits like the Rapala Deep Husky Jerk or a Reef Runner. Don't forget about good old spoons either - a Lucky Strike Half Wave or Williams Nipigon Spoon can work wonders this time of year.

If you're more of a bait fisher, big minnows or suckers in the 6-10 inch range have been tempting the bigger lakers. For a mixed bag, nightcrawlers or smaller minnows on a three-way rig near the bottom can produce some action.

Just a heads up, we've got a gale warning in effect starting tonight through early tomorrow. If you're planning on heading out, maybe stick to the nearshore areas and keep an eye on those conditions.

That's all for now, folks. Stay safe out there, and tight lines!
