Fish Report 10/30/25

Well, it sure has been a beautiful fall thus far and the extended forecast looks pretty good too. The walleyes have been eating quite well most days, and the “other whitetails” are on the move! So, when traveling these roads in the BLA be aware of deer. Shelley and I drilled one with the CRV about a month or so ago and I drilled a 9 pointer with my compound bow the other night. He came into a buck decoy, and I let fly when he was at about 25 yards. I did make a nice shot, and he only traveled about 40 yards before expiring. I am feeling pretty good to have tagged a nice buck, so I can get back on the water and finish out my “list” of fishers. I might have to try and bag a gobbler before Nov. 2 too. The walleyes have been eating big chubs and also jigs and rainbow chubs. I have been fishing 20-45′ and catching a variety of sizes. Our biggest of the fall was caught by Jimmy, and that one was a 29 incher. I’m the last one fishing, and I have sold my Premier, so another week and I’ll be done. Unless you want to hire me and we will take your boat! 😉 We have been booking ice fishing trips, so if you want to get out on the ice call now to book. I’ll be doing guided SnoBear and Ice Pro trips and Dustin and Alex will be guiding out of the new Ice Pro’s as well! To book, call or text Shelley 218-839-5598 or email us at walleyedan@walleyedan.com. We are looking forward to a beautiful winter on the ice!,

Fish Report 10/5/25

Yesterday was our 13th annual Walleyedan Fishing To End Hunger fishing tournament, and boy was it a great success! Beautiful weather, although it didn't feel too fall-like. We had 115 boats registered and 84 of those registered fish this year compared to 39 last year. This field of anglers are the best of the best on this Gull Lake Chain and it sure did show that.

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...

“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!!”
