This report is for the DULUTH HARBOR of Lake Superior. The harbor offers great walleye fishing, particularly early in the ice season. This piece of water typically does not freeze over entirely so be careful and be sure to check ice conditions prior to walking out. Mud is prevalent here - there is little to no rock and minimal depth changes. Walleyes seem to roam so there is no need to go chase fish by drilling many holes. Jigging a small spoon tipped with a chub minnow's head will yield results. The bite is primarily happening early morning. Minimal action happening after 9 AM. Walleyes range from 12-25 inches.

Late spring this year—the ice is just coming off near the Apostle Islands and the brown trout are up shallow in the big lake! Trolling in-line planer boards with stickbaits caught all the fish, nothing hit the leadcore with spoons. Water temp was 34-35 F, had to break some skim ice on the way out, and most fish were in about 10 ft of water.

Temps on the lake are at their warmest and you’ll find your lake trout suspended on the thermocline at about 60-80feet of water. Spoons have worked the best…vary the color until you find the right one (This was near Duluth)
