The fall bite has been great. Gull has been the most consistent leading back into the summer, but some of the other lakes are starting to hit full stride. Other lakes that are worth trying are North Long, Edwards, and Pelican. Walleyes are biting on a variety of set ups. Lindy rigs and minnows, jigs and minnows, or trolling crankbaits are all producing decent action.

As the lake temps are dropping we are seeing some bigger fish showing up in our daily catches. The fish are starting to stack up on their normal fall locations and are anywhere from the weed edges out to 30-40 feet.

The best baits this fall have been Redtail chubs, Creek chubs, or Rainbows. The fall bite should stay pretty good for the next two to three weeks. Most folks are starting to pull their boats and close up the cabins so the lakes are pretty quiet now. If you are looking for a place to store your boat for the winter give us a call. We have some of the best indoor storage facilities in the Brainerd Lakes area.
