Hey gang, work has me spending all of next week (Mon-Fri) in the city of Red Wing. What’s a fella to do in the evenings? If I were inclined to do a little fishing in the evening, what sort of gear should I bring?
Forgive my ignorance, but am I looking at casting from shore or sitting on a bucket on the ice?
go talk to Dean at Everts he will tell you everything you need to know
After you talk to Dean stop by the Bluffs for a Bluffs Burger as well

FYI Dragger, you might want to bring a bankers roll of $1 bills if this is the venue… wink, wink -Mark
Hit the Bluffs on the way to seeing Dean- if you eat in Red Wing make sure you eat/relax at Liberty’s a night. You never know what bite will be poppin- bring it all, Dean will send you toward your best shot. Enjoy Red Wing, good luck!
The Smokin’ Oak is a good food joint, there’s also Applebee’s if you want the same ol, same ol- Liberty’s would be a good choice as well.
You’ll find some shore casting down by the train station along the levee wall. Expect to find a few sauger and walleyes there. If there is no ice along the mooring poles, that little cove upstream from the levee has a nice reverse eddy in it and its hard telling what will hit there.
Medium action rod/reel, 6 pound line, 1/4 to 3/8 jigs,3″ twister tails in several colors…or go to Deans and get some plastic there. Dean has some some interesting thumper-tailed plastics that should stir up even the most laid back fish.
I would suggest you bring both open & hardwater gear. No telling what the weather will be so hedge & bring both!
Gotta have breakfast at Bev’s Kitchen in town. Very reasonable prices, lots of food, and the only place I know of that makes homeade corned beef hash. I don’t make it there for breakfast often when we’re up there fishing, cuz usually on the water an hour or more before dawn….unless we had torrential rains or hurricane winds, which I’ve been seeming to bring with me the last couple trips. Enjoy!
