Minnetonka

I went out to lake Minnetonka just a couple days ago. I had some good luck at seton lake. But I was wondering if anyone has any other areas on lake Minnetonka that are good. For some reason I can’t find pike or walleye. So any ideas would be helpful!.

Caught some fish in a metro lake, be thankful-No Walters, join the club!

Best advice usually given is: treat each “bay” as its own lake; each one fishes different, different types of structure, and different fish populations etc.

I’ve yet to catch a walleye out there, always seem to be chasing panfish, but the guys that do catch a few walleye put in a ton of hours out there.

Walleyes and pike- think weeds. That’s all I got. Good luck

55 yrs on tonka. 40 without a 30 walleye 6 over, Six since

I’ve spent many years fishing Lake Minnetonka for crappies, bass, and muskies during the open water season. Lately, mostly just crappies in the spring and muskies in the fall because I can’t stand the boating traffic and tournament bass angling pressure in the summer. Not once have a caught a single walleye in 22 seasons. Now, granted, I am not specifically targeting them, but at some point you’d think I’d catch one by accident. Tons of pike. Way too many to count. If you can’t catch a pike in that lake, you’re doing something way wrong.

55yrs total

30 years caught over 6
And 6 walleyes since the 30

Which is total 76 years so idk wtf is going on

I think it’s GPS coordinates in code.

I’ve caught walleye on Tonka since 5yrs old, grew up on it. Our dock at night, was an eye fest.

Yes, I’ve caught 6 30” from Tonka, largest is a 32.5 replica I had done. I’ve also had 3 people say I had an 18lb eye to the net on tonka, shook my fuzzy grub at the net.

It was easily 19# in my estimation.
