Though I have not done it myself, I would think if you can get to the lock you could walk down stream and fish the area where the Cannon river comes in. That is a popular spot for boats along that rocky shoreline. We usually catch our share within casting distance to shore so it should work the other way around as well. Good luck!

Reedo- Check out Bay point Park in Red Wing. Lots of fishing spots to fish from shore.

Thanks. Were going to redwing next weeks,and fishing is unfortunately not the primary reason And I don't have the boat ready, so we might just do some shore fishing.

There's plenty of open water, it's just not that productive yet. I fish it often, usually not this early though, but I did try last week since Pepin has been slow through the ice. If you fish it with jigs, bring a lot. Best of luck!

I'm not sure if it's open water there or not. Could be some ice still....

In the marina it won't be open, but the main river channel runs right along the park. Have caught a few nice sauger right there before.

I'm also interested in doing some fishing from shore down on pool 4 but will have to do it from shore.

I'd like to get closer to the L&D. Anyone know if a guy can park at the L&D and walk the shoreline down? Or are there places to park on the Wisconsin side and walk down?

There isn't much opportunity for parking at the L&D and then wandering. Too much security keep it safe from the radicals!

Yeah, I figured they didn't allow public parking in that lot, thanks for the confirmation. Looking at GoogleEarth and it looks like there are a couple makeshift roads leading up to the river on the WI side, but I don't know if those are passable. Kind of looks like they might have been used for the L&D construction project.

Last week when the bite slowed down by the main redwing dam channel (WI side)), we took a spin to the lock (MN) side and was surprised to see a father and child fishing right where the cement wall ended. Not sure how they got there.

Only way I can figure is if they live near by and walked up the L&D road to get down shore or parked somewhere down that road and did the same. Looks like there's a couple spots where someone could park, but those spots are pretty close to the RR. Might just have to make a day trip from the Twin Cities to figure this out. If all else fails I could probably zip over to Evert's and do some fishing from their shore line.

oops, I should have said MAYBE fish from Everts shore. I don't know if they allow that. If a MOD sees this, please edit.

      Friends around Grand Rapids have done pretty well, nothing big regarding bucks though. Further north all I've head are bad reports. Seeing a lot of does when I drive around during the day but have only seen one buck during the day the past few weeks. Have a friend that's a trooper so when I need venison I just get a car hit one.

      Good luck this weekend for those going out.  Smurfy must be dragging a biggun outta da Chippewa this week.   Some are saying the movement kept increasing for them this week but my cams have gone cold the past couple days.  We’ll see how she goes!

      What's the water temp today? Please update

      By JerkinLips · Posted

      Had 30 feet of ice out from my Stuntz Bay boathouse on Tuesday afternoon.  None inside the boathouse so I was easily able to remove my boat from the lake (just pushed the ice away in reverse and drove forward through it with my 16 foot aluminum boat).  Didn't hook up my battery so I didn't get the lake temp.  Were lots of boat trailers parked at the landing.  Hope they get off the lake easily.  Will be ice fishing in 4 weeks.

      Vertical Jigging for Most Anglers

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the South Shore...  It's deer hunting season in MN and not many are out fishing.  Those that are fishing are taking advantage of the unseasonably warm weather and excellent walleye and sauger bite that is happening across the lake.   The best depths on the south end of LOW are 22-28 feet of water.     No surprise, vertical jigging with frozen emerald shiners is the program for most anglers.  Anglers are going through a lot of frozen emerald shiners as the walleyes and saugers are all mixed sizes.  You will catch small ones and your eaters.  Depending upon where on the lake you are fishing, some slots and big trophies are in the mix as well.    Anglers are also reporting very good numbers of jumbo perch this fall.  Watch out for an occasional pike or even lake sturgeon mixed in with the walleyes.      Good numbers of fish are staged in great spots for the upcoming ice fishing season. On the Rainy River...  Good numbers of shiners again in the river this past week. Typically, if there are shiners, there will be walleyes, and there definitely are.     Walleyes are coming from various spots from Four Mile Bay to Wheeler's Point, to Baudette all the way to Birchdale.  With so many anglers taking advantage of the deer hunting season, there are not a lot of boats on the river.      Walleyes are being caught in 10-25 feet of water in various stretches of the river.  The bait and consequently, walleyes, are moving around.  Once you find some fish, you will be rewarded. Jigging with live or frozen emerald shiners is the way to go. Some anglers are also still trolling crankbaits upstream to cover more ground and find fish. Both methods are producing solid results. Sturgeon fishing remains strong.  The catch-and-release sturgeon fishing is open into the spring when it changes to the "keep season" on April 24th. Up at the NW Angle...  For those not in the woods hunting, fall fishing continues to be excellent.  It is areas with structure holding walleyes in this part of the lake.  Points, neck-down areas with current, shoreline breaks, and transition zones from rock to mud are all productive locations for walleye right now.     A nice mixed bag with perch, pike and crappies being caught as well. Good muskie fishing with the colder water temps and shorter days.  Some big fish and some good numbers are being caught amongst the islands.  Both casting and trolling is getting it done.

      Yes.  No lightning strikes in the area on Saturday and a tree was burning.  The squirrel hunters have been a nuisance this year with more activity in our area then we have ever seen.  This was the 3rd fire in the section of woods in the past 2 weeks.  Most definitely not caused by natural events.
