  • Lake Superior's Abundant Bites: Duluth Fishing Report for February 2025

    Lake Superior's Abundant Bites: Duluth Fishing Report for February 2025
    Feb 12 2025
    Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, and I'm excited to share today's fishing report for the magnificent waters around Lake Superior, particularly in and around Duluth.

    First off, let's talk about the weather. As of today, February 12, 2025, the forecast looks promising. According to the National Weather Service, we're expecting partly cloudy skies with a slight chance of snow in the morning. Winds will be moderate, ranging from 5 to 10 knots, shifting from northwest to west by the afternoon. Wave heights are predicted to be around 1 foot or less, making it a relatively calm day on the lake[2].

    Sunrise today was at around 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:14 PM, giving us a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing.

    Now, let's dive into the fish activity. Lake Superior is renowned for its diverse fish population, and this time of year is excellent for catching a variety of species. Recently, anglers have been reeling in lake trout, salmon, walleye, smallmouth bass, northern pike, and perch. In the tributaries and streams, trout and salmon have been active, especially during the spring and fall months when they migrate to spawn[1][3].

    For those looking to fish from shore, public access areas and state parks along Lake Superior are excellent spots. If you prefer to be out on the water, consider hiring a charter boat from Duluth, Two Harbors, Silver Bay, or Grand Marais. Inland fishing guides are also available, particularly along the Gunflint Trail and near Grand Marais[1].

    When it comes to lures and bait, it's a good idea to mix it up. For lake trout and salmon, trolling with spoons or using live bait like minnows and smelt can be very effective. In the streams, fly fishing with streamers or nymphs can yield great results. For walleye and smallmouth bass in the inland lakes, jigs tipped with minnows or leeches, along with soft plastic lures, are highly recommended[1][3].

    Here are a couple of hot spots to consider:

    1. **Canal Park**: This area overlooking Lake Superior is a local favorite. You can catch trout and salmon right from the shore, and it's a great spot to see what the fish are biting on any given day[3].

    2. **St. Louis River**: If you're after a relaxing day of fishing, the St. Louis River is perfect for salmon fishing, especially during their spring spawn. Fly fishing is particularly popular here among local anglers[3].

    Before you head out, make sure to pick up your licenses, bait, tackle, and gear from the local outfitters or gas stations along the shore and up the Gunflint Trail. Don't forget a trout stamp if you're targeting trout[1].

    Remember to always clean your boats and gear to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species, which can harm the local ecosystem.

    Good luck out there, and enjoy the beautiful day on Lake Superior

  • Ice Fishing Lake Superior's Chequamegon Bay: Expert Tips for February 10, 2025

    Ice Fishing Lake Superior's Chequamegon Bay: Expert Tips for February 10, 2025
    Feb 10 2025
    Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, your go-to expert for all things fishing around Lake Superior, particularly in and around Duluth. As of today, February 10, 2025, here’s what you need to know to make the most of your fishing trip.

    ### Weather and Ice Conditions
    First off, let's talk about the weather. According to the latest marine forecast, we're looking at northwest winds of 10 to 20 knots, with waves subsiding to 1 to 3 feet[5]. This is relatively calm, making it a good day to get out on the ice. However, always remember to check the ice conditions carefully, as they can change rapidly. The recent reports indicate that ice thickness varies, but many areas have enough ice to support vehicles and ATVs, especially around Chequamegon Bay[1].

    ### Tidal Report
    For those fishing near the shore or in areas where tides might affect your fishing, here's a quick look at the tidal report for Duluth. Today, you can expect low tide at around 2:44 AM with a height of 0.59 ft, high tide at 7:38 AM with a height of 0.62 ft, low tide again at 3:56 PM with a height of 0.56 ft, and high tide at 10:56 PM with a height of 0.62 ft[2].

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today is at 7:04 AM, and sunset will be at 5:14 PM. These times are crucial for planning your fishing trip, especially if you're targeting species that are more active during these periods.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fishing in and around Lake Superior has been excellent lately. In Chequamegon Bay, anglers are reporting good catches of yellow perch (9-12 inches), coho salmon (14-16 inches), herring (15-19 inches), and a mix of walleye (15-25 inches), splake (17-20 inches), northern pike (26-34 inches), brown trout (16-24 inches), lake whitefish (17-22 inches), and white perch (8-12 inches)[1].

    On the Ashland side of Chequamegon Bay, anglers are doing well using spoons, jigging raps, and lake shiners, sucker minnows, or golden shiners in 20-30 feet of water. For those fishing after dark, walleye and burbot have been active. On the Washburn side, similar catches are being reported, with anglers targeting depths of 25+ feet using jigging spoons and lake shiners or golden shiners[1].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For the species mentioned, here are some of the best lures and baits to use:
    - **Spoons and Jigging Raps**: These are excellent for catching coho salmon, herring, and walleye.
    - **Lake Shiners, Sucker Minnows, or Golden Shiners**: These live baits are working well for a variety of species including perch, walleye, and northern pike.
    - **Jigging Spoons**: Effective for splake, brown trout, and lake whitefish in deeper waters.

    ### Hot Spots
    If you're looking for some hot spots to try your luck, here are a few recommendations:
    - **Chequamegon Bay**: Access the bay from Kreher Park and Second Landing on the Ashland side, or from Bono Creek, Thompson Park, the Washburn Coal Dock, and Memorial Park on the Washburn side. Be cautious of ice heaves and cracks.
    - **Bodin’s Resort, Sioux River, Onion River, Bayfield, and Red Cliff**: These areas outside of Chequamegon Bay are also producing good catches, but make sure to check the ice conditions carefully before venturing out[1].

    In summary, today looks like a great day to get out on Lake Superior, with calm winds and good ice conditions in many areas. Use the right lures and baits, and you'll be hauling in a mixed bag of fish in no time. Always remember to check the ice carefully and fish safely. Good luck out there, and tight lines

  • Lake Superior Fishing Report: Chequamegon Bay and Duluth Hotspots in February 2025

    Lake Superior Fishing Report: Chequamegon Bay and Duluth Hotspots in February 2025
    Feb 9 2025
    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 9, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the weather. According to the latest forecast, we're looking at a mix of conditions that could affect your fishing trip. There's a chance of snow showers and freezing spray, especially in the morning and evening. Winds are expected to be strong, with southeast winds at 20 to 30 knots, gusting up to 35 knots in some areas. This could make the waters a bit choppy, so be prepared for that[5].

    Now, let's check the tidal report for Duluth. Since Lake Superior is a large freshwater lake, it doesn't have significant tides like ocean waters, but it's always good to know the water levels. The tidal variations are minimal, with heights around 0.6 feet, so you don't need to worry too much about this aspect[2].

    Sunrise today is at around 7:00 AM, and sunset will be at about 5:30 PM, giving you a good window to get out on the ice or water.

    Fishing has been excellent in the Chequamegon Bay area, which is just a bit east of Duluth but definitely worth the trip. Anglers on the Ashland side are reporting great catches of yellow perch (9-12 inches), coho salmon (14-16 inches), herring (15-19 inches), and a mix of walleye (15-25 inches), splake (17-20 inches), northern pike (26-34 inches), brown trout (16-24 inches), lake whitefish (17-22 inches), and white perch (8-12 inches). The best spots here are around 20-30 feet deep, using spoons, jigging raps, and bait like lake shiners, sucker minnows, or golden shiners. If you're fishing after dark, you might find some walleye and burbot action[1].

    On the Washburn side of Chequamegon Bay, anglers are also doing well, catching splake, coho salmon, herring, lake whitefish, brown trout, yellow perch, and the occasional northern pike. Here, the most successful anglers are fishing in depths of 25+ feet using similar lures and bait[1].

    If you're staying closer to Duluth, there are several access points where you can find good fishing. Areas like Bodin’s Resort, Sioux River, Onion River, Bayfield, and Red Cliff are popular spots. Be cautious with the ice conditions, as they can vary and change quickly. Anglers in these areas are reporting mixed bags of lake whitefish, splake, coho salmon, herring, brown trout, and yellow perch, often fishing in depths of 30-60 feet using jigging spoons and lake shiners[1].

    For those venturing out onto the ice, make sure to check the ice conditions carefully, especially around cracks and heaves. Traveling with snowmobiles or ATVs can be tricky due to large ice heaves, so be cautious.

    In summary, if you're heading out to fish around Lake Superior today, be prepared for some challenging weather conditions but excellent fishing opportunities. Chequamegon Bay and the areas around Duluth are hot spots right now, with a variety of fish species available. Use the right lures and bait, and always check the ice conditions before you head out.

    Good luck, and tight lines
