Is there any shore fishing opportunities in red wing this time of the year?

There's gotta be. Call a bait shop in that area and ask them.

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.

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

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!

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.

      Pike and Sturgeon are Popping

      On the South Shore...  For the vast majority of anglers, ice fishing is over for the year, and what a great year it was.  You may hear of a few hardcore ice guides still gaining access in places targeting pike, but overall, we will now start watching for open holes appearing in the ice, the Rainy River making its presence known outside the Lighthouse Gap and satellite images from clear days showing progress up until the MN Fishing Opener.     The spring walleye season is complete as of April 14th.  As far as the lake goes, the focus now is pike up until the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 10th.     Ditches are running and soon bays will pop open enabling anglers to target huge pike while they head to spawning areas.  Pike fishing is year round on Lake of the Woods and can be excellent during the spring in back bays.   Some anglers will use dead bait much like they do on a tip up.  Others will cast spoons or troll crankbaits.  Pike fishing in the back secluded bays along the south shore of Lake of the Woods offers a unique fishing opportunity you don't need a big boat for and it can produce trophy sized pike.   The limit of pike on the Minnesota side of Lake of the Woods is a daily limit of 3, with all pike 30 - 40 inches having to be released.  An angler is allowed one trophy pike over 40 inches per day.  Some anglers choose to get measurements, take some pictures, release the fish and get a graphite mount.  All good options. On the Rainy River...  The spring walleye season is in the books!  Overall, big numbers of walleyes caught and released on the Rainy River (along with some absolute giants).  Thank you to all who traveled up, had patience with some long lines, helped out others and shared in this spring tradition of catching walleyes (and sturgeon).    A sincere thank you to all who help this spring tradition happen behind the scenes.  Koochiching County did a great job clearing ice from the boat ramps on the river as soon as possible.  Many agencies work together to make this tradition safe, respectful and enjoyable.  Again, thank you.   The Wheeler's Point boat ramp at the mouth of the Rainy River located 12 miles north of Baudette is open.  Thank you to a number of resort owners combined with some visitors in boats working together to drill holes, make waves, and coax the last remaining stubborn ice away from the ramp.  It is teamwork like this that makes the resort / fishing community in these parts special.   Initial reports for sturgeon are excellent.  Good numbers being caught and released.  Anchored up in a hole or on the slope of a hole with a no roll sinker and sturgeon rig is the ticket.  A sturgeon rig is about an 18 inch leader with a 3/0 or 4/0 circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers and emerald shiners.  Local resorts and bait shops have all the equipment you need.     Sturgeon fishing is open through May 15th.  Here are the specific seasons for sturgeon fishing...   -Catch and Release Season: May 8th – May 15th and October 1 – April 23rd. -Harvest Season: April 24th – May 7th and July 1 – September 30. -Closed Season: May 16th – June 30th. Up at the Northwest Angle...  With many areas of open water showing up along with some heaves and cracks, travel on the ice up at the Angle is pretty much finished up.  You may see a local in an airboat which can traverse over both ice and open water delivering mail to the Oak Island post office or bringing supplies to a resort, but the watch for open water is on.   For now, folks will be fishing pike and sturgeon and paying attention to aerial images of open water and ice out on the lake until the MN Fishing Opener on May 10th.  Time to make plans!  For more information on spring and summer fishing, visit fishingminnesota.com.

      If you do ever get ahold of him. Also suggest he make sure his battery is fully charged. If it's been sitting unused all winter, it might have enough to light it up but not run it so it shuts off.   Also, let us know what he does find out if he gets it fixed it might help someone else. 👍

      Thank you very much for your feedback Leech and Kettle. Very tough for me to help the neighbor when he doesn't respond to my messages.    Oh well, but thanks again for your help.
