Fish Report 8/13/26

by | Aug 13, 2026 | bass, Fishing Report, Open Water Fishing

The “dog days” of August are upon us, but we continue to catch fish up here in the Brainerd Lakes Area. It’s been a very busy open-water season thus far, and Shelley continues to “book em”! So, if you are looking to get out on the water, we are here for you. We have been fishing a lot of the area lakes, and that’s the beauty of living where we live. I was out with the Hugdahls this morning, and it was a fun trip. They wanted to target bass, and they boated some nice ones. We were casting Z-Man TRD’s on a Lucky Joels mushroom head jig head in 10-17 feet of water on Gull Lake. Walleye fishing on some of the other area lakes has been ok too, but I am already looking forward to the fall “bite” as the fish start pushing off the edges (which they are already starting to do). We are booking trips into the fall and winter months now, so call or text Shelley and book your trips now. 218-839-5598

Fall fishing is in full swing! The action on Gull has been great, but catching the big mommas isn't super easy right at this moment. Tomorrow, maybe. The photo is of Craig, from Naperville, IL who along with his buddies Dusty, Kevin, Dan and Ken caught 50 walleyes yesterday. All were caught on Fireball jigs with, the other Fireball in their pockets! Today, my buddy Stu and Roger caught a meal,...

We are there, Labor Day weekend already! Wow, did this summer go by fast! I guess, on the bright side, hunting season is upon us, and the best fishing of the year is coming, too. I was out this morning with Joanie, Neil, and Elliott. We were up on the Whitefish Chain (north of Brainerd, MN), and we had a really nice morning. I found a school of walleyes right out of the gate and handed Elliott...

“Dan is an incredible guide. He is personable and knows the Brainerd Lakes area like none other. I suggest anybody who wants to get into fishing and doesn’t want to spend all the time and money to try to figure out how to catch ‘em to just hired Dan and his team!”

“Four of us booked a four hour fishing trip with Walleyedan. Our guide was Dustin and he was so friendly and engaging with a wealth of knowledge and tips . We caught the amount of fish we wanted for a fish fry and man were they tasty. Besides Dustin’s skills, his friendly personality made the day. We HIGHLY recommend Walleyedan’s guide service.”

“Wonderful experience!! Our guide Chuck picked us up from our resort and was incredibly sweet. One person in our group had never touched a rod and landed a 42 inch plus musky. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning!!”
