Lake Nokomis Fishing Reports


Recommended Posts

Anyone been out here lately? One of my buddys lives just a few blocks away and wants to go fishing. What are some good spots from shore looking for pretty much anything that will bite.

Went out this afternoon hoping to catch anything- luckily stayed after my hands went numb and pulled out a crappie to quit on. Stripped by the little guys all day- awfully cold to be taking the gloves off for a new waxie. I was sitting between 12-16 in the NW corner.

I've seen a lot of houses out recently- anyone having any luck?

Was going to try again today until I looked at the wind chill- I think I can wait until tomorrow to give it another shot. Should be fun watching a flag and the Pond Hockey at the same time.

Hey all -

I saw a thread on Lake Calhoun that hadn't been updated in a while. I figure there are some of us out there that fish these downtown lakes on a weeknight when there's no time to head elsewhere. I've yet to fish Calhoun this year but here what I've seen on Nokomis:

The crappie bite was great right after ice out - I caught fish just west of the boat launch and east of the bridge. The smaller crappies can still be had in the evening. The sunfish have started biting more aggressively in the same spot too - although I hear there are an abundance of sunnies everywhere...

Mid June: We caught one 30" tiger straight off the larger swimming beach while trolling. I think there's sand that stretches out that way and its about 13' deep throughout that stretch. Trolling the same 75 yards back and forth we've found a couple largemouth and a small walleye.

There's my input. Now can someone please give me a little direction on how you're finding the larger walleyes??? Thanks!

      I don't know, this save the plant thing looks like a money maker, for someone! 🫤 Where do you think electric prices are going to go when they have the monopoly for everything that moves! 🙄

      Nice!   It would be great if they had some kind of brake, so you don't end up on your neighbors YouTube video going down the driveway! 😆

      Last month I went searching online for a trailer jack with pneumatic tires. Instead I found the video below showing a relatively quick and easy upgrade to your existing jack:     It's worked pretty well. I definitely had to mess around with finding the right combination of spacers, washers, and locknut pressure that wouldn't bind up the wheels. However, it is a pretty sweet setup and allows me much better control. We live at the end of a half-alley. My garage faces the end so when I need to hook my boat up to the truck, I have to pull it out into my driveway and then swivel it 180 degrees to face towards the street. The handle is what really makes the difference and now the trailer jack wheels don't slide on the asphalt. Has anyone else done this conversion?

      I've got a pile of crawlers ready to go - a nice side benefit of all the rain in the metro lately.   At the very least, I hope that the remaining trappers are making some better money off of the higher prices. I would think that it would be a great way for local kids to make some cash. I can see why it wouldn't make for a great way to make a living as an adult.

      Went out yesterday with the sunshine. I did find crappies in the shallows on a darker stained lake with Temps at 58 degrees. They had no interest in my baits

      That's part of it.  Several recent years of drought have definitely played a role.   There's other factors too.  MN does not allow importation of live bait from other states either.  That really affects the amount of golden shiners available, most of which are not trapped here.  In other words, demand exceeds supply.   Lots of bait trappers and dealers have simply hung it up in recent years.  Its hard work for not much money.  The two nearest me are both done as of last October.  They both told me its just not worth it anymore.  One of them had been there for 45 years.   My advice would be to learn how to effectively fish with artificial lures more often.  I've slowly weened myself off the use of live bait nowadays.

      Think the Free crawlers in the back yard are going to take a hit this summer! 🤭

      Correction, rainbow minnows are at least 75 cents each, and leeches are $60 per pound. lol

      Their coming! Was poking around southern center mn last Friday and found about 20 on a hill side, all to small to pick yet.  Spots on the GPS! 🤗
