Minnesota Walleye Fishing Doesn't Get Any Better Than This!

When it comes to walleye fishing in Minnesota, few lakes enjoy the great reputation Lake Winnibigoshish has as one of Minnesota's premier world-class walleye fishing lakes.  Lake Winnie offers great structure and has large numbers of Walleye, Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, Muskie, Crappie, Perch and panfish.  It is also the home of the state record Muskie.

At The Pines Resort & Campground we provide all the things you need to bring home fish for dinner during your stay here.  We offer boat and motor rental, a concrete boat launching ramp, live bait, tackle, gas, oil and individual boat slips. We can also arrange for guide service by some of the area's top professional guides.

(Check out the Weekly Fishing Report and Helpful Fishing Links below)

The fishing pros will tell you that Winnibigoshish is truly an anglers paradise famous for walleyes, perch, northerns and muskie. Work the rocks with bottom bouncers or live bait rigs on the shallow sand bars and reefs. Follow the weedlines or fish the deep water structures where the big walleye feed. No matter where you go on "Winnie" you will find a walleye dinner just waiting to be caught.

Lake Winnibigoshish also has some of the best winter perch fishing in the world, along with great winter walleye & northern pike too! For more information click on the Ice Fishing menu on the left.

Lake Winnibigoshish Fishing Report

The Lake Winnibigoshish Weekly Fishing Report is proudly brought to you by The Pines Resort & RV Campground...your full-service Minnesota Fishing and Family Vacation Resort located on Lake Winnie at Winnie Dam Bay. 

This is the last open-water update for 2011.  Watch for our Ice Fishing Report coming in mid-December 2011.

Report For the Week of:  September 12, 2011

The best walleye bite is now on the north shore anywhere from the Dugouts all the way to Stony Point. Jigs and minnows are taking fish in 7 to 13 feet of water, with shallower depths the best on windy or cloudy days. Northern pike are being caught by trolling spoons or crankbaits along the weedlines of Tamarack Bay in 10 to 14 feet of water. A good perch bite has been taking place in the 3 Sisters Area off Tamarack Point in 8 to 12 feet on a jig and minnow with an occasional walleye also being caught.

Grouse hunters are reporting hearing lots of birds, but the heavy cover is still limiting visibility. The fall color change is now in full swing, so the leaves will be falling soon. Have a great week on the water, or in the woods!
