# Lake Superior Duluth Fishing Report
Hey folks, it's your local fishing correspondent with your Wednesday morning update from Superior's chilly waters around Duluth.
**The Bite Right Now**
Walleye, pike, and trout are biting strong out here. The Lake Superior Duluth Fishing Report tells us walleye action is particularly hot in the shallower waters during twilight hours, and we're seeing walleyes consistently pulled in the 20-to-28-inch range from recent catches. Lake trout are active too, with anglers landing fish in the 10-to-15-pound range, plus some genuine monsters pushing 60 years old pulling up from deeper structure. Whitefish are stacking up nicely, and if you're feeling adventurous, burbot and coho are mixing in, especially after dark.
**What's Working**
For lures, mini swimbaits are seriously effective right now—realistic action triggers strikes when these fish are in winter feeding mode. Small jigs and spoons mimicking minnows work beautifully—think 1/4-ounce swim jigs with Rage Bug trailers. Rapala Jigging Raps and Northland Puppet Minnows are deadly for vertical presentations in deeper water. If you're casting from shore, downsize your spoons to 3/8 to 2/3 ounces in silver or gold.
On the bait side, live minnows and shiners are your bread and butter. Emerald shiners and fathead minnows are moving steady at local shops. Work them on light hooks, and don't overlook waxies and spikes for panfish when the bite gets tough.
**Where to Fish**
Hit Park Point marina for sheltered water and solid brown trout action. The St. Louis River mouth near Duluth harbor is absolutely stacked with walleyes—this is a proven hot spot. The shipping canal and Minnesota Point area produce consistent lake trout and coho.
**Conditions**
Stable, cold weather is your friend out here. We're in that sweet spot where fish are active against the cold in 20-to-40 feet of water near drop-offs. Activity peaks at dawn and dusk as fish school tight.
