St. Louis River walleye

St. Louis River walleye bite continues to be good. Success is being found trolling, casting and jigging. Bigger fish seem to come on bigger profile soft plastics pitched near drop-offs or other structure. Pike and smallmouth bass continue to be found near walleye areas as well. Most boats are sticking to areas south of Clough Island, but fish are scattered throughout the whole system.
We have found decent walleye fishing as far as Superior Bay. Trolling hard-sided shiner color baits in 5-12 feet of has been good.
Inland lakes are having a good panfish bite going on. Small hair jigs wiggled under floats have been on fire. Seek out shallower areas with vegetation. Having a good pair of polarized sunglasses can help located scattered fish. Walleyes are being found in similar areas.
The jig and minnow bite continues to be awesome. Pike and bass are also sticking near vegetation and sunken lumber. Working rattle baits will turn good numbers of predator fish.
