Fresh White Bear Lake Fishing Reports

The many low pressure weather systems recently, continue to get the fish active! Another nice one fell for a bucktail again. One spot in particular has been holding MANY fish this year. This spot has been ON FIRE this season, and it's only going to get better as we get into the late summer patterns of August and into September, so don't wait, book your trip now!

It was a big fish kind of morning. 10 minutes into the morning, this big Minneapolis musky ate a bucktail. Later in the morning an even bigger one tried to eat at boatside, but it only got nip hooked and came off on the first headshake.

This dude has never musky fished in his life, and catches one 20 minutes into the morning! So happy for this guy!

We've reached the summer heat here in the Twin Cities. Water is reaching peak temperature and the bite is getting tough for the time being, right now it's really important to pay attention the safety of these fish. After the next couple of trips I will be taking a break until the water cools. We do have cooler air temps coming for a couple of days so that should help. I would expect August to be phenomenal fishing. Get your late summer trips planned because they are already starting to fill up.

The bass bite is firing up here in the metro with lots of fish coming on frogs in the lily pads! lots of fish on texas rigs in the cover and around docks. 40 fish days are pretty common right now, July bass trips are almost full so get on the calendar!

Peak water temps are getting close and the bite is shifting a little bit. Not as many fish up shallow on a bucktail bite anymore. We're starting to find fish off the breaks and chasing deeper baits. When weather permits, we're still hitting the shallows for the first hour or so in the morning, then working the deeper breaks off the same structure.
