Metro Area Fishing Report – April 24th, 2015

NORTHEAST METRO

Crappies continue to be caught in less than 6 feet on most area lakes with small jigs and minnows or plastics turning fish at White Bear, Bald Eagle, Silver, Jane, Demontreville, and the marinas along the St. Croix River. Sunfish reports have been limited and turkey activity is fair.

WEST METRO

Crappies seem to be moving in and out of the shallows with the changing weather. On Lake Parley, Lake Bavaria, and Rietz Lake crappies are hitting in less than 5 feet when the water warms, but as deep as 10 feet under cool, cloudy conditions. Turkey hunters are saying that birds haven’t been super-responsive to calling, but hunters are shooting some toms.

LAKE WACONIA

You’ll find bigger crappies in 8 to 12 feet and smaller fish around the docks in Waconia Bay. As the water warms, look for the majority of these fish to move shallow, along the docks. A jig and minnow or small plastics are working best.
