20 OCT. 2024 · As of October 20, 2024, the fishing scene on the Mississippi River near Minneapolis is looking promising, especially with the fall season in full swing.
### Weather and Tidal Report
The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 45 degrees. Sunrise is at 7:34 AM, and sunset will be at 6:02 PM. The Mississippi River's water levels are stable, which is typical for this time of year. The water temperature is around 55 degrees, ideal for fall fishing.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a good mix of fish activity. Walleye and Sauger fishing has been steady, with these species starting to move up to the tailwaters of the dams as the water temperature cools down. Anglers reported catching Walleyes and Saugers using crankbaits on three-way rigs along deep side channel borders and wing-dams.
Panfishing remains strong, with Bluegills, Crappies, and Perch being caught in good numbers. Rock shorelines, wing dams, wood, and weed areas continue to produce good catches. Small jigs with plastics or tipped with a chunk of crawler have been effective for panfish.
### Best Lures and Bait
For Walleyes and Saugers, trolling crankbaits or using lead head jigs tipped with a nightcrawler are recommended. Vertical jigging with Berkley bonefish, curlybones, ripple shads, and rib worms in colors like white ice, purples, and chartreuse have also been successful.
For panfish, small jigs with plastics or tipped with a chunk of crawler under a bobber or pitched depending on the conditions are working well. Light tackle with a small piece of worm is also effective for Bluegills.
### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots is around the wing dams and rock shorelines, particularly in areas with less bait where the fish tend to be more aggressive. The backwater areas and weedlines are also good places to find concentrated schools of Bluegills and Crappies.
Another good spot is near the tailwaters of the dams, where Walleyes and Saugers are starting to congregate as the water temperature drops. Be cautious of low water levels, especially when launching boats, to avoid backing off the end of the ramp.
Overall, it's shaping up to be a great fall day on the Mississippi River, with plenty of opportunities to catch a variety of fish species.
18 OCT. 2024 · As of October 18, 2024, the fishing scene on the Mississippi River near Minneapolis is looking promising, especially with the fall season in full swing.
### Weather and Tidal Report
The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 45 degrees. Sunrise is at 7:34 AM, and sunset will be at 6:07 PM. Since the Mississippi River is not a tidal river, water levels are more influenced by rainfall and dam operations. However, it's always a good idea to check the current water levels using the DNR's Cooperative Stream Gaging before heading out.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a good mix of fish activity. Anglers reported catching a variety of species, including walleye, smallmouth bass, channel catfish, and northern pike. The cooler water temperatures have increased the activity of these fish, making them more active and hungry.
### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
Walleyes were a highlight, with several anglers reporting catches in the 18- to 22-inch range. Smallmouth bass were also plentiful, particularly around rocky structures and weed beds. Channel catfish were caught in good numbers, especially near the river's backwaters and connected lakes. Northern pike were active, with larger ones setting up on major points and shallow rocky flats.
### Best Lures and Bait
For walleyes, trolling crankbaits and using spinner rigs tipped with minnows have been effective. Anglers have also had success with jig/twister combinations and the classic crappie minnow and bobber setup, especially around sunken islands and weed beds. For smallmouth bass, small paddle tails and soft plastic minnow baits are working well. Channel catfish are biting on nightcrawlers and stink baits, while northern pike are being caught using large suckers and large soft plastic minnow baits.
### Hot Spots
One of the best spots to try your luck is Pool 2 of the Mississippi River, which spans from the Ford Dam to the Hastings Dam. This area offers excellent fishing for walleye, smallmouth bass, channel catfish, and northern pike. Another hot spot is the stretch of the Mississippi River above the Sartell Dam, where you can find good populations of walleye, smallmouth bass, and channel catfish. However, be cautious of shallower water upstream of the Rice Bridge.
Overall, the Mississippi River near Minneapolis is providing some excellent fall fishing opportunities. Make sure to dress warmly and enjoy the beautiful fall scenery while you're out on the water.

17 OCT. 2024 · As of October 17, 2024, the fishing scene on the Mississippi River near Minneapolis is looking excellent, especially with the fall season in full swing. The Mississippi River, being a non-tidal river, does not have tides, but water levels are currently slightly above normal and stabilizing, which is ideal for fishing.
The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 68 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 50 degrees. Sunrise is at 7:04 AM, and sunset will be at 6:47 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get out on the water.
Fish activity has been strong, particularly for walleyes and saugers. Yesterday saw a good number of these species caught, with walleyes ranging from 15 to 25 inches and saugers up to 23 inches. Panfish, including bluegills, crappies, and perch, are also biting well, providing a fun fill-in when the walleyes and saugers are less active.
For walleyes and saugers, vertical jigging and using Dubuque rigs with baits like Berkley bonefish, curlybones, ripple shads, and rib worms have been effective. Crankbaits, especially on leadcore or longline trolling, are also working well. Hair jigs in white, purple, and chartreuse colors are catching fish too. For panfish, small jigs with plastics or tipped with a chunk of crawler under a bobber or pitched into rock shorelines, wing dams, wood, and weeds are producing good results.
Hot spots include the areas around Lake Pepin and the river sections near Wabasha and Red Wing. The backwater areas and main river sections with wood, weedlines, and wing dams are particularly productive. If you can find areas with less bait, the fish tend to be more aggressive.
Overall, the fall fishing on the Mississippi River near Minneapolis is shaping up to be fantastic, with plenty of opportunities to catch a variety of fish species. Get out there and enjoy the beautiful fall weather and excellent fishing conditions.
17 OCT. 2024 · As of October 17, 2024, the Mississippi River around Minneapolis is offering some excellent fall fishing opportunities.

Fish activity has been strong, particularly for walleyes and saugers. With the recent drop in water temperatures, these fish have become more active. Yesterday saw a good mix of fish activity, with walleyes and saugers biting well as the water temps continue to cool down.
For walleyes, anglers have been successful using jigs and minnows, especially in shallow water. In the Mississippi River, walleyes have been caught in various depths, from 12 feet of water on the shoreline to 18-22 feet along the edges of shoreline-related breaks and mid-lake bars. Trolling crankbaits is also a effective strategy, especially in the fall as walleyes chase shiners.
Crappies are starting to school up and move to warmer, stable water temperatures, typically in the 12-16 foot range. Jig/twister, beetle spins, and the classic crappie minnow and bobber have been catching crappies just off weedbeds and around sunken islands.
Northern pike activity has increased with cooler water temps, and they are setting up on major points, shallow rocky flats, and river mouths. Large suckers, fished under a bobber, and large soft plastic minnow baits have been effective for pike.
Hot spots include Pool 4 of the Mississippi River, which includes Lake Pepin, and the areas around the St. Croix River from Taylors Falls to the confluence with Pool 3 of the Mississippi River. These areas offer solid fishing for a variety of species including walleye, sauger, muskie, white bass, and smallmouth bass.
Overall, the fall fishing scene on the Mississippi River near Minneapolis is looking very promising, with plenty of opportunities to catch a mixed bag of fish.
