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.

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!!”
