Lake Superior Fishing Update: Winter Wonderland, Walleye, and Winged Wonders

# Lake Superior Fishing Report - Duluth, November 29, 2025

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure bringing you your Saturday morning Lake Superior fishing report for Duluth.

We're looking at a cold one out there today. A winter storm system moved through the region yesterday, dumping significant snow across the northern Great Lakes. Snowfall totals have already exceeded a foot in many areas downwind of Lake Superior, particularly across Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Winds are picking up, though meteorologists say we're not quite hitting blizzard criteria just yet—but bundle up if you're heading out.

For those keeping tabs on conditions, sunrise was around 7:15 this morning with sunset coming around 4:45 this afternoon. That gives you a tight window of decent light for fishing today.

Now, here's where it gets interesting for us anglers. According to the 365 Days of Birds birding community monitoring our region, Lake Superior is experiencing an active migration pattern right now. We're seeing Long-Tailed Ducks arriving in decent numbers, which tells us the food chain is active and freshwater species are responding to the seasonal shift.

Recent reports from Minnesota's fishing forums indicate crappies are the top target across the state right now, though Lake Superior fishing specifically has been steady with walleye activity picking up as water temperatures drop. The colder conditions we're experiencing actually trigger more aggressive feeding behavior in our local species.

For tackle, if you're working structure and cover, professional skip casting guides recommend using heavy braided line—50-pound test gives you better control and line management in these cold conditions. Pair that with a quality jigging setup. Swim jigs in darker colors work exceptionally well this time of year, and don't overlook vibrating jigs either.

Hit two solid spots: First, focus on the dock and marina areas around Harbor Cove Marina on Park Point—that freshwater sandbar creates excellent structure. Second, work the deeper shelves just off the Duluth shoreline where walleye tend to congregate as water temps drop.
