A look at the fishing and hunting report from all across Minnesota for the week of March 8, 2023.

Some very good fishing reports this week, best we have heard in weeks.

There’s still plenty of snow on the area lakes, plenty of strong ice, accesses are in excellent shape (as of today), and the fish are biting. Not seeing much for “late ice” patterns yet –

We are starting to see more and more walleye and sauger being caught suspended 3-4 feet off the bottom. If you are marking anything higher in the water column, it’s worth getting your bait in

Ice-fishing season winds down.

Walleyes and sauger are spread out, and electronics really help to see fish because they are coming through at various depths throughout the water column.

Having trouble keeping up with the perch bite – for a while. But that’s the way it’s been all winter – hot and cold.

Try a small spoon tipped with a small minnow head or piece of minnow tail.

Anglers are still out, but the bite has slowed in many areas of Minnesota.
