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

100% agree. Went out to scout the lake for the first time the very afternoon that ice heave finally broke off & everyone had to be rescued – wow.

Went out for a scout again yesterday 2/16 & found that there was around 6” of good ice with the heave frozen all the way up to Lester park.

What are your thoughts on the current ice conditions? I’m a complete superior noob

2/16/2021 – ice heave is frozen as far as Lester park. Went out & tested the thickness & we are looking at close to 7” in some of the spots accessible from shore near 21st Ave.

Going out again today 2/17 to check again.

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

Hello everyone! I am a Duluth resident & have an up to date ice report! Went out yesterday 2/16 & there is around 20-50 yards of sketchy ice/ice heave – this heave has been there longest so I assume it’s at least 7”+ in thickness.

There is a defined line where the new ice begins forming, yesterday I was measuring anywhere from 6”-7” of ice out on the new stuff. Ice is frozen all the way up to Lester Park, which I’ve heard rarely happens – these next few days will be a prestige opportunity to get out there!

Appreciate the insight! Will put this to use next time out.

UMD Student who typically fishes on smaller north metro lakes. Spoke to someone who said there was 10+ inches south of the point area. Also am looking to get out there in the coming weeks, maybe get on a walleye bite
