little long lake new brighton


Recommended Posts

SO anyone got some info on how the fishing was there sat. I saw about five or six boats fishing by the bridge there, a spot i have been eyeing up for a while now, i guess i wasnt the only one. just wondering how people did, any info would be great.

That bridge spot can be good.

I stopped for a peek a few years ago and saw 7 Walleyes landed in the 15 minutes I was watching.

I've heard of people catching walleyes, but have never seen it myself. I have seen northerns caught right off the pier by the boat launch.

If you go there, get out early. Any nice day there seems to be a few ski boats there, plus limited parking.

A buddy told me someone was netting fish on the lake the other day, so keep the TIP number handy!

The bridge area does hold some fish but nothing like it was a few years ago. I think that the amount of pressure that little area got for a while has kinda screwed it up. There are some better spots on the lake to catch fish.

Concreteman - pop me an e-mail, I fish the lake quite often. [email protected]

Tuesday night after the wind calmed it was a nice night. I tried the outlet (long lake road bridge) and managed one small walleye. Later I went up the inlet (hiking bridge) with no luck aside from catching a couple neighbor boys smoking cigarettes.

Managed a couple crappies in one of the bays towards the end of the night.

Anybody have consistant luck on this lake with a couple tactics? I've caught the occasional eyeball in the weeds throwing shad raps, and a handful of them in moving water with floating raps and swim/jerk baits. Does lindy rigging pay off in the spring? I marked some fish close to the bottom in the south end of the lake in about 20 fow but I'm not sure what they were.

Late last summer I was marking fish on the south end in 20 fow as well. It was getting dark and the bites started coming - bullheads!

They do catch eyes off the fishing dock, so they must be down there as well.

      As crazy as that might sound, May 18th isn’t a bad guess.  We were on the lake yesterday and had somewhere around 30” of solid ice with some snow on top.  This is hard January-type ice.  No honeycombing, no chipping or slush.  In fact, my Dewalt hammer drill couldn’t take it.  It’s dead.   Another foot of snow on the way this week?  That won’t help.

      Try the area where Minnehaha Falls runs into the river up to the ford dam. I've just used jig and fathead. Been several years since I've fished down there, but saw a lot of people shore fishing there. Pretty snaggy down there.

      Never tried it down there, sounds like fun. Let us know how you did.  👍

      Entries sure rolled in when I offered the case of beer.  We could meet at my Stuntz Bay boathouse if that would work.  Close to the landing, could anchor in front of the boathouse, or could park your vehicle at by the boathouse.  Maybe we could require the winner to be present, LOL.

      Thinking about trying pool 2 (from shore) for the first time tomorrow morning, ideally looking for walleye. Anyone know any decent spots or what kind of baits I should use?   Thanks in advance

      I know the owner.  In fact we rode snowmobiles together a couple days after the fire.  He lost most of his belongings.  Sounds like it was electrical.

      I drove by the spot I thought it was on the snowmobile and couldn't find it.
