  • Walleye Blitz on the Mississippi River - A Fishing Report for May 24, 2025

    Walleye Blitz on the Mississippi River - A Fishing Report for May 24, 2025
    May 24 2025
    Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Mississippi River fishing report for this beautiful Saturday morning, May 24th, 2025.

    The Mississippi River is absolutely on fire right now for walleye anglers in the Minneapolis area! These fish are in a transitional period, and they're really biting despite some challenging weather we've had lately with wind and cold conditions[1][2].

    Water levels are running a bit lower than normal due to our relatively dry winter and spring. This creates some great fishing opportunities, but keep your eyes peeled for navigational hazards when you're out boating.

    For today, we're looking at a decent day to be on the water. The walleye and sauger action has been particularly strong in Pool 2 from Ford Dam to Hastings Dam. Remember, it's catch-and-release only for walleye, sauger, and bass in Pool 2, but the action is well worth it[5].

    The post-spawn walleye are still hanging around in the Rainy River, and fishing reports have been very good this past week[4]. If you're heading out today, focus on the tailwater habitats below the locks and dams where the bite has been most consistent[5].

    Channel and flathead catfish numbers are excellent throughout the pools, and they're becoming more active as water temperatures climb. White bass action is picking up nicely too[5].

    For you pike anglers, the lower water levels have concentrated these predators, making for some productive fishing. You'll find quality pike in the backwaters and connected lakes[5].

    Don't sleep on the panfish either! Bluegill, crappie, and bass populations are showing good numbers with quality-sized fish. With the reduced ice fishing pressure this past winter, the open water angling has been exceptional[5].

    For hot spots, I'd recommend trying below the Ford Dam early morning, where walleyes have been hitting jigs tipped with minnows. Another productive area has been near the confluence with the Minnesota River, where the mixing waters create a prime feeding zone.

    Lure-wise, jigs in the 1/8 to 1/4 oz range tipped with fathead minnows or plastics have been producing well. For those targeting catfish, cut bait and stinkbaits are your best bet in the deeper holes.

    The panfish have been responding well to small jigs tipped with waxworms or tiny crappie minnows.

    Get out there while the bite is hot! This is Artificial Lure signing off, and remember – the worst day fishing still beats the best day working!

  • Midwest Fishing: Walleye, Sauger, and Catfish Sizzle on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis

    Midwest Fishing: Walleye, Sauger, and Catfish Sizzle on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis
    May 23 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your Mississippi River fishing report for Minneapolis, Friday, May 23, 2025.

    We kicked off the morning with sunrise at 5:54 AM and we’ll see sunset around 8:24 PM, so there’s a solid stretch of daylight for you to get after it. The weather’s cooperating nicely, with mild spring temps and stable conditions. River levels remain a touch lower than average thanks to another dry spring, so boaters and waders should keep an eye out for exposed rocks and snags, especially around shallow runs. No tides to worry about on the river, but you’ll find steady flows and classic late May patterns holding up.

    Pool 2—from the Ford Dam down to Hastings—is still the spot for active fish. Word is the walleye and sauger bite is really rolling. Most anglers are running jigs tipped with fathead minnows or plastics, and those working crankbaits in the early mornings and evenings have reported solid hits. Crankbaits in shad or firetiger patterns are productive. Pool 2 is catch-and-release only for walleye, sauger, and bass, but the numbers of quality fish make it a fun zone for anyone looking to do some CPR fishing. Just below the dams and near current breaks have been especially hot for these species lately[2][5][1].

    Catfish crews are seeing good numbers of both channel and flathead cats. Cut bait, nightcrawlers, and stinkbaits have all been getting bit, especially as water temps nudge upward. Try anchoring just upstream of deeper holes or along riprap for your best shot at a whiskered heavyweight[5].

    Pike are concentrated in the backwaters and connecting lakes due to low river levels, so don’t skip the sloughs. Spinnerbaits and large swimbaits are turning up nice fish. Meanwhile, the white bass bite is picking up with small spoons and twister tails—you’ll find them chasing baitfish near sandbars and mouths of feeder creeks[5].

    For panfish, stick to shoreline cover and backwater bays; waxworms and small jigs have worked well.

    Hot spots worth checking include the tailwaters below the Ford Dam, the confluence around Minnehaha Creek, and the deeper bends near Hidden Falls Park. All have been producing this week, especially for multi-species action.

    That’s the river report for today. Be safe out there, keep an eye on the water levels, and tight lines from Artificial Lure.

  • Late Spring Fishing Report from the Mississippi River in Minneapolis

    Late Spring Fishing Report from the Mississippi River in Minneapolis
    May 21 2025
    Good morning anglers, Artificial Lure reporting from the banks of the Mississippi River in Minneapolis for May 21, 2025.

    We are enjoying a stretch of classic late spring weather today, with sunrise coming right around 5:54 AM and sunset expected at 8:24 PM. It is a mild morning out here, with steady conditions and no rain in the forecast. Winds are light, so you can expect easy casting and manageable drifts all day long. River flows are typical for this time of year, running a bit lower than average due to a dry winter and spring, so keep an eye out for submerged rocks and new snags if you’re navigating by boat or wading. There’s no tidal action to worry about here in Minneapolis, but the steady current should keep fish on the move and looking to feed[3][4].

    The main story right now is Pool 2, from the Ford Dam downstream to Hastings. This stretch is producing strong numbers of walleye and sauger, especially below the dams and along current breaks. Remember, it’s catch-and-release only for walleye, sauger, and bass in Pool 2, but the sheer numbers and size make it worth the trip. Most folks are finding good success with jigs tipped with minnows or soft plastics, but don’t overlook crankbaits, especially in the low-light hours of early morning and late evening[3][4].

    The catfish bite is heating up too, with both channel and flathead catfish turning active as water temps rise. Nightcrawlers and cut bait fished on the bottom around deeper holes and current seams are getting quick results. If you’re after white bass, their action is picking up around the mouths of creeks and at the base of dams, especially when using small crankbaits or curly tail grubs cast into the current[4].

    Pike fishing has been productive in the backwaters and connected lakes, thanks to the lower water levels concentrating these fish. Try spinnerbaits and spoons near weed edges for your best shot at a trophy. Panfish anglers are finding above average numbers of bluegill and crappie in the slack water and near submerged wood—small jigs and live waxworms are local favorites right now[4].

    Hot spots to target today include the tailwaters below the Ford Dam for walleye and sauger action, and the backwater channels near Hidden Falls and Minneapolis Rowing Club for pike, panfish, and the occasional big catfish.

    All signs point to an outstanding day on the river, so grab your jig box and a bucket of minnows and enjoy the bite. As always, keep an eye out for shifting sandbars and respect the catch-and-release regs in Pool 2. Tight lines, and see you on the water[3][4].
