Fish Report 3/20/25

by | Mar 30, 2025 | Ice Fishing, SnoBear

Hello from the BLA! The ice is receding from the shorelines and getting soft. I was out yesterday afternoon in the SnoBear on Gull pout fishing. We had 16” of ice with the top half a bit on the soft side. The burbot spawn is winding down, but we did still see a number of them and landed 1. With the cool nights, I’m thinking the ice will hang on for a bit yet. Crappies, sunnies and perch are still fair game (with a current fishing license) and this time of year they are chowing down! Walk quietly and hop from hole to hole in the shallows and you should score!! We guide 365 days a year, so if you have the itch, call Shelley at 218-839-5598.

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.

Good evening! The water temperature is up into the mid-sixties, and fishing action is picking up. People always ask when the best time to fish is, and I say June and October. So, you know what that means? You should probably get out on the water and fish. I had the Bjellands out this morning on Gull, and we had decent action. We started by pulling Shadow Raps and finished by pulling Raps. But...

Good morning! The countdown is on, 5 days until the 2026 MN Fishing Opener. Are you ready? I'm not either, in fact I pick up my new Premier pontoon tomorrow afternoon in Big Lake, MN. This is an exciting time, but it will be a bit of a hurry and scurry to get things rigged and loaded and ready for Saturday morning. But we will get it done! The Minnesota spring weather is right on par, all over...

“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!!”
