Fish Report 8/13/26

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

I hope you all had a nice weekend! We celebrated the 250th anniversary of our country in Bozeman, MT, by welcoming our 2nd grandchild into this world. Back on the water tomorrow, and it's going to be a scorcher. We are well into our season, and the guides have been doing a lot of trips! Some walleyes are cooperating, but many of the folks we fish with this time of year are looking for action....

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...

“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!!”
