Lake Minnetonka

New to fishing Tonka want to know what’s the best bait to catch walleye in during ice season and what depth they sit in
Just curious no one has to tell me their spots I just would like to know what bays

???

I’d try a hj14 in 50 plus feet.

The classic “don’t need your spots but just gimme a bay” Minnetonka question…

I have literally never fished it but if I had some specific earned knowledge I def wouldn’t be giving it to randoms on the internet!

6-8ft during low light on a tip up with a shiner next to some weeds. Just saying……

Search google for best bays to fish on lake Minnetonka. It will pull up discussions in the lake forum from IDO and Walleye central talking about which bays have been productive. Good place to start as Minnetonka is a big lake. Good luck.

I think most Walleye fisherman target the NE corner of the lake. That’s why I like the SE corner.

This is kinda funny.

This sometimes even shallower. Low light and well into dark.

Just find someone already fishing and set up 10 feet away.

Had this happen to me this week.

I was out there on Tuesday. Two walleye and more 9 inch crappie than I could count.

For walleye – shiners on a plain hook, like others have said look for the weed edge. The weed edge where I was fishing was 15ft deep.

DM me and I can give you a spot to try.
