# Lake Superior Duluth Fishing Report
Good morning, folks. This is Artificial Lure with your Monday fishing update for Lake Superior out of Duluth.
We're looking at excellent conditions heading into this week. The marine forecast is calling for south winds 5 to 10 knots becoming east with gusts around 20 in the afternoon—nothing too gnarly. Waves staying at one foot or less, so it's a solid day to get out there if you're thinking about it.
Recent reports from the Superior Outdoors crew show some insane shallow water walleye action has been going on. We're talking aggressive bites in depths you wouldn't normally expect in January. That activity kicked off late last week and anglers are still connecting on some solid fish.
If you're targeting walleyes, stick with small jigging presentations—think 3-ounce jigs tipped with smelt or shiners. The dropper rig setup has been crushing it lately: run a small jig under a flashy spoon and let the spoons do the work attracting fish while your dropper gets the hookups.
Now, if you're thinking bigger game, Lake Superior's Chinook salmon have been drawing attention thanks to a surge in natural reproduction. These fish are now largely self-sustaining, with solid average sizes hitting 30 to 40 pounds in some cases. The key is targeting mid-depth zones between 25 and 80 feet using spoons or flasher and fly combos. Spring and fall are prime season, but we're in winter, so focus on tributary mouths if you want shore access or go with trolling if you've got a boat.
For shore access, check out the river mouths around Superior—Superior Outdoors has been documenting some good walleye activity in shallower zones recently. If you want deeper water access, you'll want boat coverage out on the main lake structure.
Thanks for tuning in, folks. Make sure you subscribe to stay locked in on these reports as conditions change.
