 Howdy folks, Artificial Lure here with your Lake of the Woods fishing update for this fine Saturday morning, May 24th, 2025.

The walleye bite has been stellar these past couple weeks despite some unpredictable weather systems moving through. Most anglers are having great success targeting walleyes in 15-31 feet of water all across the south shore. The fish have been spread out a bit, but that's typical as different walleyes are chasing different forage right now.

The most productive method continues to be the tried-and-true jig and minnow combo while anchored up or using your spot lock. With our stained waters, brighter colors are producing best - gold, orange, chartreuse, pink and glow white are all solid choices. If you're fishing with buddies, start with different color jigs and minnow types to figure out what the fish want. Some folks are sticking with frozen emerald shiners, while others are having luck with lively fatheads or rainbows.

For those looking to change things up, drifting spinners with two-hook crawler harnesses and 1.5-2 ounce weights has been effective, especially in deeper water. Some anglers are also running lead core or downriggers with crankbaits at 2-3 mph in the deeper sections.

Hot spots this weekend include the stretch from Pine Island to Long Point in 12-18 feet, and for bigger walleyes, try the triangle of deep water from Long Point east to the US/Canadian border and up to Garden Island in 34-36 feet.

Pike action has been heating up too, with some real lunkers being caught both by pike enthusiasts and unsuspecting walleye anglers. The shallow bays are prime territory for trophy northerns right now.

Weather-wise, we're looking at typical late May conditions - expect some fluctuations but nothing that should keep you off the water. Water temps are warming nicely, putting these fish in an active feeding mood.

Don't forget, with Memorial Day weekend upon us, the lakes will be busier than usual, so courtesy on the water goes a long way.

For you early birds, sunrise is just before 5:30 AM, giving you plenty of daylight to work with, and we've got sunset around 9 PM these days.

This is Artificial Lure signing off - tight lines, folks, and I'll see ya on the water!
