  • Summary

  • Hey there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on the fishing scene around Lake Superior, particularly in and around Duluth, as of February 7, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the weather. It's been quite lively out there, with a small craft advisory in effect due to southeast winds blowing at 20 to 25 knots, gusting up to 30 knots. This is expected to continue through the morning, with waves ranging from 4 to 7 feet and occasionally hitting 9 feet[5].

    Now, let's look at the tidal report for Duluth. Today, you can expect a low tide at around 2:44 AM with a height of 0.59 feet, followed by a high tide at 7:38 AM with a height of 0.62 feet. The next low tide will be at 3:06 PM with a height of 0.56 feet, and the final high tide of the day will be at 10:06 PM with a height of 0.62 feet[2].

    Sunrise today is at 7:04 AM, and sunset will be at 5:14 PM, giving you a good window to get out on the ice or water.

    Fishing has been excellent in the Chequamegon Bay area, particularly on both the Ashland and Washburn sides. Anglers are reporting good catches of yellow perch (9-12 inches), splake (15-20 inches), coho salmon (14-16 inches), and herring (15-19 inches). You can also expect to catch a few walleye (15-25 inches), northern pike (26-34 inches), whitefish (17-20 inches), and the occasional brown trout (16-24 inches)[1].

    For ice fishing, the best spots include areas around Bono Creek, Thompson Park, the Washburn Coal Dock, and Memorial Park. Anglers are having success in water depths of 15 to 25 feet on the Ashland side and 25 feet or more on the Washburn side. Jigging spoons, jigging raps, lake shiners, and golden shiners are the go-to lures and baits right now. If you're fishing after dark, targeting walleye and burbot with these lures can be very productive[1].

    Outside of Chequamegon Bay, areas like Bodin’s Resort, Sioux River, Onion River, Bayfield, and Red Cliff are also seeing good action. Here, you'll want to fish in depths of 30 to 60 feet using jigging spoons, jigging raps, and lake shiners. Be cautious, though, as ice conditions can vary and change rapidly[1].

    If you're looking for some hot spots, I recommend checking out the St. Louis River Estuary, which has been a popular fishery lately. The Superior Harbor off Minnesota and Park Point are also worth a visit. For shorecasting, public access areas and state parks along Lake Superior are great spots to try your luck[3][4].

    Remember to use extreme caution when venturing out, especially with the current wind and wave conditions. Make sure to check the ice thickness and be prepared for changing weather.

    Good luck out there, and tight lines
