Eelpout Update

by | Mar 4, 2025 | Ice Fishing

There is still a couple feet of ice on most area lakes, but this most recent melt down has made for some pretty slopping shorelines and landings. I was out last night in search of eelpout, and I was able to connect with a couple. One of them was a monster! They are moving up shallow right now to spawn and it’s a great time to target them. A jigging spoon with some minnow heads will normally do the trick. The late-ice panfish bite is going to just keep getting better too. If you are looking to get out for some late ice fishing, give us a call at 218-839-5598. It’s also time to book your open water trips!

We hope you choose us for your

next fishing trip!

Whether it’s a family vacation, boy’s outing or girl’s getaway, we will craft the perfect fishing experience for your group.

Fishing remains good. And it should just get better. The walleyes are fairly plentiful in the lakes area, and it seems that there is a good range of year classes. We have been fishing Gull, Whitefish and Pelican and the chub bite is picking up. Live bait rigging is not easy for some, but it’s very effective and a good way to catch them this time of year. I like to fish with a 3/8 or ½ ounce...

It’s August! Lots of food in the lakes and a lot of the fish are well fed. Under the right conditions, things can be good but the best fishing is coming up later this fall. We continue to fish many of the lakes in and around the Brainerd area. Some of the walleyes are showing themselves on the humps and deep water points. We’ve been catching them on a variety of baits, but my favorite is rigging...

“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!!”
