Open-water fishing is not over yet! The fall walleye bite kicked in for this angler in mid-November, and boy, are they on the chomp. My tactics in November are basically upsizing my minnows and giving walleyes a huge meal.

The 2023 bear hunting season closed on Oct. 15 and the Minnesota DNR saw a significant decrease in harvest totals, according DNR preliminary reports. Dan Stark, DNR large carnivore specialist, said the decline is mainly due to good natural food conditions that kept bears away from bait stations.
Stark compared the hunting season to 2018 where numbers dropped based on good food conditions. He added that after several years of high harvest, having a slower season can sometimes balance the population.

With the north wind bucking, it was time to get to the slough and greet the new arrivals of waterfowl that wing into the Minnesota prairies every time the old northern howls.
For 60-plus years, our crew has been celebrating the waterfowling season by gathering for a reunion hunt. This year, Donny Lien joined us after driving from his home in Plainview. Steve and Sue Aagesen came from Paynesville, and my son Will and I traveled only six miles from Appleton to “make the scene,” as we used to say.

With the unseasonably warm weather, it seems like walleyes really started their fall bite later this year. It’s unusual to be able to fish comfortably during deer season, but this year is the exception.
I love to fish for walleyes, but my favorite fishing this time of year is for late-season crappies.
