  • Late-Summer Walleye & Sauger Action on Lake of the Woods

    Late-Summer Walleye & Sauger Action on Lake of the Woods
    Aug 24 2025
    This is Artificial Lure coming at you with your Sunday, August 24th Lake of the Woods fishing report. First light broke at 6:17 AM this morning, and anglers rolling out onto the lake were greeted with a cool, classic late-summer dawn—temps right around 52°F at sunrise, rising toward 73°F as the day moves on. Winds are light, and we’ve got partly cloudy skies lined up through the afternoon. Sunset tonight hits at 8:18 PM, so you’ve got plenty of daylight to chase your limit.

    No tides to worry about here, but for you folks who follow the solunar tables, peak bite windows line up well with brunch and the dinner bell: from 12:43 to 2:43 PM and another solid push from 6:06 to 7:06 AM for the early risers, then a minor window again from 8:32 to 9:32 PM. The fish should be active, with the day rated “best” for fishing by the solunarforecast.com crew.

    Fishing has been firing on all cylinders lately. According to Lake of the Woods Tourism’s August reports, we’re right in the heart of classic midsummer patterns—walleyes and saugers are scattered from 12 out to 36 feet, but that deep mud basin is still king. Anglers are reporting limits of eater-sized walleye with a healthy dose of slot fish mixed in. If you see folks hauling in a 20+ incher, don’t be shy with the high-fives—there’s plenty of action to go around.

    Best presentations are simple and proven. Spinners tipped with crawlers are hot—get those pink/gold or blue/white blades spinning and hang on. Trolling crankbaits in gold/red or chartreuse are also producing, especially along the south shore, off Pine Island, and ahead of the Lighthouse Gap. For jigging, frozen shiners are putting a few big ones in the net. If you’re after numbers and not just trophies, work through those color changes as the sun moves—if gold slows, try firetiger or perch patterns.

    For the multi-species angler, recent reports from around the area mention some bonus pike and jumbo perch, especially near the mouth of the Rainy River and up near Fourmile Bay. If you want to tangle with toothy critters, pitch big spoons or troll a flashy crank along the weedlines—don’t be afraid to upsize. Sauger are running a little deeper but hanging with the walleye crowds; keep those bait rigs close to the bottom.

    Hot spots? The mud flats off Zippel Bay are putting up steady numbers, as is the deep water off Long Point. The reefs outside of Knight and Bridges Islands always hold fish this time of year—especially as those bait schools start their late summer shuffle. Drift those edges or anchor and jig if you’re after quality over quantity.

    With fall in the air and the bite still going strong, boat traffic is low these days. Anglers who stick it out in the afternoon have a real shot at some bigger, active fish as that sun starts to dip low. The Minnesota DNR’s conservation reports mention check-ins with happy folks who’ve sorted enough eaters for a weekend fish fry and even a few catches they had to put back for another day. Reminder: possession limits are still at 6 walleye, so plan accordingly and keep it legal.

    That’s the bite for today, straight from the Lake of the Woods dock community. Thanks for tuning in—be sure to subscribe wherever you get your fishing fix! This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • "Late Summer Walleye Bonanza on Lake of the Woods"

    "Late Summer Walleye Bonanza on Lake of the Woods"
    Aug 23 2025
    Good morning, anglers—Artificial Lure here with your Lake of the Woods fishing report for Saturday, August 23rd, 2025. The sun cracked the horizon at 6:19 AM and will tuck away at 8:13 PM tonight, giving us a generous window to chase some of the best bites of late summer. Weather-wise, we’re sitting under a stable high-pressure system, with temps topping out in the mid-70s, a light southwest breeze, and barely a cloud to be seen—perfect conditions for a run up the lake.

    No tides to report, of course, but water clarity’s solid and surface temps have eased up to the lower 70s, which has the main basin walleyes pushing deeper. Fresh off last night’s bite and in from the reefs, a number of boats reported two-man limits by midday yesterday, mostly pulling ‘eyes in the 16 to 19-inch range, with a handful of true hawgs over 25 inches in the mix. Outdoor News reports big numbers of walleyes holding over the deep mud in 31 to 34 feet of water, especially off Pine Island and in the neighborhood of Garden Island.

    The go-to tactics continue to be pulling spinners and crawlers or anchoring up and jigging with frozen shiners. Gold and glow pink have been consistent on the bluffs, with hammered gold blades and 1/4 to 3/8 oz jigs doing the trick. If you’re out midday, don’t be afraid to slow down; bottom bouncers with a two-hook harness and leech have been deadly on a drift. In the evening, toss out a jig and minnow combo or switch up to crankbaits if you want to cover more water—especially as the sun starts to dip.

    On the muskie front, folks running the north shore and the rocks around Flag Island and up to Four Blocks are reporting aggressive fish, even a pair of mid-40" beauties boated just yesterday according to the Lake of the Woods Daily Fishing Report. Topwater lures like buzzbaits and large walk-the-dog style baits have been getting explosive strikes during the last hour of daylight. If you want numbers, keep your presentation moving and don’t sleep on black and chartreuse color schemes. Meanwhile, sturgeon anglers are hooking up near the Rainy River gap—heavy rigs with gobbed-up crawlers or cut bait are bringing steady action on the bottom.

    Largemouth and smallmouth activity is also picking up with these stable nights. Bass are crushing top-water lures right along the weed edges and near submerged timber, especially if you get out there before breakfast or stick around for the golden hour tonight. Outdoor News’ MN Daily Update for yesterday says stable weather plus top-water lures can be magic for bass after dusk, and I couldn’t agree more. Try a black/blue frog or a popper right along the cabbage.

    Hot spots:
    - The deep mud basin south of Garden Island (31-34’), especially for walleye by mid-morning.
    - The rocky reefs northwest of Flag Island and Four Blocks for those chasing muskies in low light.
    - The weed beds east of Long Point for early-morning bass and a grab bag of panfish.
    - The Rainy River gap, anchoring up for sturgeon and the occasional channel cat.

    To recap—solid mixed-bag action, with *walleyes still taking the spotlight*, and *musky chasers starting to see real results* as we move toward late summer. Bring both live crawlers and frozen shiners, keep an eye out for those topwater musky follows, and be ready to switch up as the lake lays down tonight.

  • Late Summer Walleye & Muskie Blitz on Lake of the Woods

    Late Summer Walleye & Muskie Blitz on Lake of the Woods
    Aug 22 2025
    Artificial Lure here, reporting straight from the beautiful Lake of the Woods on this fine Friday, August 22, 2025. We’re right in the thick of late summer, and let me tell you, the bite is living up to every bit of our local reputation.

    First off—weather. We’re looking at seasonable highs in the mid-70s, dipping down into the upper 50s at night. We had a spate of stable conditions and just a whiff of wind, so surface chop is gentle, perfect for long drifts or anchoring on structure. No tidal influences here with freshwater, but water levels are near seasonal averages after a mild week of rain. Sunrise slid in at 6:14 AM, with sunset wrapping up at 8:23 PM, so you’ve got a generous window for both morning and evening bites.

    Now to the action: The late-summer walleye bite on Big Traverse Bay and the South End is red hot—true world-class stuff this week. Lakeofthewoodsmn.com reports that anglers are consistently landing limits of eater-sized walleyes, with the occasional sauger and a surprising number of slot fish in the mix, especially on the deep mud flats between 28 and 36 feet. Joe Henry’s update in the Northern Light Region backs this up, noting, “the late-summer walleye bite continues to shine.” Folks are putting fish in the box trolling spinners with crawlers, vertical jigging with frozen emerald shiners, or running crankbaits near the mud/rock transitions. Pink/gold, blue/white, and gold/red are killing it in terms of color patterns.

    Limits are important: Reminders from both local guides and the DNR—remember, you can keep four walleyes in your possession, including any in your freezer, so abide by the new regs to keep the fishery strong for years to come.

    Saugers are coming in too, same techniques, just slightly deeper or off the sharper breaks. And if you’re jonesing for some mixed-bag action, work the transition lines near Pine Island or Morris Point, especially early and late in the day.

    Up in the Northwest Angle and Oak Island areas, the muskie chase is on. The Oak Island Resort’s social media is buzzing about several nice skis taken this week—try big blades or topwater baits around the reefs, with rising water temps spurring aggressive follows near cabbage beds.

    Not to be outdone, panfish are schooling up near structure: Perch and the occasional slab crappie are showing on weed edges and deeper brush, especially in the evenings. Northland Tackle’s Slurpies Small Fry has been dynamite for those species—try jigging around docks or shallow sunken timber.

    Hot spots? Don’t miss:
    - The deep mud stretches between Long Point and Zippel Bay for good numbers of walleye and sauger.
    - Oak Island reefs for muskie, especially on big rubber and topwaters at dusk.
    - Morris Point to Lighthouse Gap for reliable limits, especially trolling spinners or running Shad Raps just outside the breakline.

    Best baits right now? Night crawlers on a spinner rig or frozen shiners for classic jigging. For artificials, Moonshine Shiver Minnows with a wide-gap rear hook have been tipping the scales on big fish this week—local Instagram pages are full of proof.

    That’s your boots-on-the-ground (and lines-in-the-water) scoop for today. Thanks for tuning in! Make sure you subscribe, and stay safe, sharp, and respectful out there. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
