Fishing Report

Find out where fish are biting and bait to use in the area fishing report each week.
Get Hooked in Detroit Lakes will give you an inside look from fishing guides on which area lakes are best bets for the fish you’re out to catch and the bonus experiences of being out on the water.

This is the area fishing report for Tuesday, September 26, 2023, sponsored by the Detroit Lakes Regional Chamber of Commerce. 

Let’s talk Muskie fishing! I reached out to Randin Olson from Lockjaw Guide Service recently, because I know how much he loves chasing these trophy fish this time of year!  He told me he is still finding Muskies in their late summer patterns. He is slow rolling bucktails and casting large jerkbaits over deep weed edges to produce fish. Once we get some cooler nights and the fish start moving shallow, you’ll find big top water baits rigged on his clients’ Muskie rods. These fish are hungry right now, and the Muskie fishing will continue to improve, all the way up to the freeze.  I’d like to thank Randin for providing great info for this week’s report.  You can go to his website, www.lockjawguideservice.com to learn more about what he does and book a muskie trip with him this fall. You won’t be disappointed!  Good luck to all you Muskie anglers.  I’ll have some more Walleye and bass info for you next week.
