  • Late Spring Fishing Heats Up on the Minneapolis Mississippi

    Late Spring Fishing Heats Up on the Minneapolis Mississippi
    May 25 2025
    Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure coming at you with the May 25, 2025, fishing report for the Mississippi River around Minneapolis.

    We’re sitting in prime late spring conditions after a relatively dry winter and spring, so river levels are running a bit lower than average. That’s made for some clearer water and stacked up fish in some classic spots, but do watch out for the unexpected sandbars and structure if you’re boating or wading.

    The weather today is comfortable, with the sun coming up at 5:34 AM and setting at 8:44 PM, giving you a long, bright window to chase bites. Expect temps to reach the upper 60s to low 70s, with a light breeze—just about perfect to be on the river.

    The walleye bite is absolutely hot right now. Anglers in the Minneapolis stretch, especially in Pool 2 (from Ford Dam to Hastings), have been reporting excellent numbers. Most are running under the catch-and-release requirement for walleye, sauger, and bass in Pool 2, but the action is nonstop, with multiple fish landed on most outings. Tailwater zones below the dams are especially productive—try jigging with chartreuse, white, or firetiger plastics tipped with a minnow or Gulp! Alive. Trolling crankbaits in deeper holes has also turned up some chunky sauger and bonus white bass as their action picks up in current seams[3][4][5].

    Catfish are staging for heavy summer feeding—both channel and flatheads are eating well throughout the area. Cut bait and large live minnows are your best bet, especially in deeper holes and along riprap near the confluence of tributaries[5].

    The panfish bite has been above average all spring. Bluegill and crappie are plentiful and showing good size thanks to light ice fishing this past winter. Target shallow backwater bays and slack water off the main channel using small jigs or slip bobbers with waxworms or small plastics.

    If you’re after pike, now’s the time as well. Low water has concentrated them in the backwaters and connected lakes—cast flashy spoons or spinnerbaits near weed edges and submerged timber.

    Lure-wise, walleye can’t resist bright jigs or small Rapalas. Catfish go for fresh cut bait, and panfish want tiny tubes or live bait under a float. Pike are crushing silver spoons and swimbaits.

    For hot spots, try below the Ford Dam and the deep channel bends just upstream of Minnehaha Creek for walleye and sauger. Boom Island and the north end of Nicollet Island are producing strong panfish and the occasional pike.

    Stay safe, keep it clean, and tight lines out there!

  • Walleye Blitz on the Mississippi River - A Fishing Report for May 24, 2025

    Walleye Blitz on the Mississippi River - A Fishing Report for May 24, 2025
    May 24 2025
    Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Mississippi River fishing report for this beautiful Saturday morning, May 24th, 2025.

    The Mississippi River is absolutely on fire right now for walleye anglers in the Minneapolis area! These fish are in a transitional period, and they're really biting despite some challenging weather we've had lately with wind and cold conditions[1][2].

    Water levels are running a bit lower than normal due to our relatively dry winter and spring. This creates some great fishing opportunities, but keep your eyes peeled for navigational hazards when you're out boating.

    For today, we're looking at a decent day to be on the water. The walleye and sauger action has been particularly strong in Pool 2 from Ford Dam to Hastings Dam. Remember, it's catch-and-release only for walleye, sauger, and bass in Pool 2, but the action is well worth it[5].

    The post-spawn walleye are still hanging around in the Rainy River, and fishing reports have been very good this past week[4]. If you're heading out today, focus on the tailwater habitats below the locks and dams where the bite has been most consistent[5].

    Channel and flathead catfish numbers are excellent throughout the pools, and they're becoming more active as water temperatures climb. White bass action is picking up nicely too[5].

    For you pike anglers, the lower water levels have concentrated these predators, making for some productive fishing. You'll find quality pike in the backwaters and connected lakes[5].

    Don't sleep on the panfish either! Bluegill, crappie, and bass populations are showing good numbers with quality-sized fish. With the reduced ice fishing pressure this past winter, the open water angling has been exceptional[5].

    For hot spots, I'd recommend trying below the Ford Dam early morning, where walleyes have been hitting jigs tipped with minnows. Another productive area has been near the confluence with the Minnesota River, where the mixing waters create a prime feeding zone.

    Lure-wise, jigs in the 1/8 to 1/4 oz range tipped with fathead minnows or plastics have been producing well. For those targeting catfish, cut bait and stinkbaits are your best bet in the deeper holes.

    The panfish have been responding well to small jigs tipped with waxworms or tiny crappie minnows.

    Get out there while the bite is hot! This is Artificial Lure signing off, and remember – the worst day fishing still beats the best day working!

  • Midwest Fishing: Walleye, Sauger, and Catfish Sizzle on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis

    Midwest Fishing: Walleye, Sauger, and Catfish Sizzle on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis
    May 23 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your Mississippi River fishing report for Minneapolis, Friday, May 23, 2025.

    We kicked off the morning with sunrise at 5:54 AM and we’ll see sunset around 8:24 PM, so there’s a solid stretch of daylight for you to get after it. The weather’s cooperating nicely, with mild spring temps and stable conditions. River levels remain a touch lower than average thanks to another dry spring, so boaters and waders should keep an eye out for exposed rocks and snags, especially around shallow runs. No tides to worry about on the river, but you’ll find steady flows and classic late May patterns holding up.

    Pool 2—from the Ford Dam down to Hastings—is still the spot for active fish. Word is the walleye and sauger bite is really rolling. Most anglers are running jigs tipped with fathead minnows or plastics, and those working crankbaits in the early mornings and evenings have reported solid hits. Crankbaits in shad or firetiger patterns are productive. Pool 2 is catch-and-release only for walleye, sauger, and bass, but the numbers of quality fish make it a fun zone for anyone looking to do some CPR fishing. Just below the dams and near current breaks have been especially hot for these species lately[2][5][1].

    Catfish crews are seeing good numbers of both channel and flathead cats. Cut bait, nightcrawlers, and stinkbaits have all been getting bit, especially as water temps nudge upward. Try anchoring just upstream of deeper holes or along riprap for your best shot at a whiskered heavyweight[5].

    Pike are concentrated in the backwaters and connecting lakes due to low river levels, so don’t skip the sloughs. Spinnerbaits and large swimbaits are turning up nice fish. Meanwhile, the white bass bite is picking up with small spoons and twister tails—you’ll find them chasing baitfish near sandbars and mouths of feeder creeks[5].

    For panfish, stick to shoreline cover and backwater bays; waxworms and small jigs have worked well.

    Hot spots worth checking include the tailwaters below the Ford Dam, the confluence around Minnehaha Creek, and the deeper bends near Hidden Falls Park. All have been producing this week, especially for multi-species action.

    That’s the river report for today. Be safe out there, keep an eye on the water levels, and tight lines from Artificial Lure.
