I am planning on heading up to Duluth this weekend and looking for good places to start. I have n no experience up there at all.
Open to fish for pretty much anything, I have gear for perch, walleye, burb and sturgeon.
Putting in a call to Marine General just wondering if anyone had any other info, thanks!
Hello, I am a Duluth resident who began fishing the area this winter.
As for lakes, there is a bit of a limited selection. There are various reservoirs just north of the city that I’m sure you could find panfish on.
As for walleye & perch – I highly suggest trying the Duluth harbor area near Park Point / The airport. There are extensive flats running from 8”- 12” all up & down the harbor. I’ve only been out there a couple times but I see houses scattered out there all the time – big fish in there too. To my knowledge the shipping season has concluded until late March, so you won’t have to worry about ships going through the SW end

Thanks! I will give that a shot! Any ideas on burbot or sturgeon in the harbor area? I will be staying very close to there.
Ended up trying just south of Boyscout landing and the point near the airport a few nights. Got skunked completely. Also went out on the big lake middle afternoon on Saturday but the ice was really moving and shaking that day so I didnt stay long.
Tough, I haven’t ever had much luck in the harbor but I know there fish there. Ended up getting my first ever lake trout this past weekend on Superior – absolutely electric. Ice is too sketchy now, a massive shift Sunday morning sent myself & others off at 9:00am. I think that was my last time out there sadly

Congrats! sounds awesome! I was out for a bit Saturday afternoon and there was a massive ice shift that sent people running. That was enough for me.
I might try and get further north yet this year to get on some smaller lake trout. Never caught one through the ice so hoping to accomplish that
Anyone have an update on current ice conditions around apostle islands?
