The walleye bite in the
Detroit Lakes area continues to be solid.
Summer patterns prevail and a switch to
spinners over this next week will be a good
idea. Water temps have reached 73 degrees on
most area lakes Some area lakes have another
mayfly hatch going on so a deep mud bite(
26-32 ft ) and a cabbage weed (11-16ft) will
be key on those lakes. The am bite seems to
slow significantly by about 10 am and the
evening bite is best from about 8 pm to dark
thirty. Northern pike are active on jigs and
minnows on the weed lines or pitching or
trolling crank baits in 12-16ft of water. I
have not beenchasing Bass over the past two
weeks, but have caught many jigging or
rigging for walleyes so if you target those
fish on the deep weed edge on sharp breaks
to deep water you should have good success.
I have heard of excellent Bass catches off
Long, Cotton, and Prairie lakes. Muskie
action is active on Pelican and Big Detroit.
Most are having success with a chunking bite
of spinner baits or minnow imitators.
Sunfish are active in jigs and small leeches
fished in 7-12 ft of water. Get out and
enjoy the good bite and great weather.
