Mississippi River Minneapolis Fishing Report November 28, 2025

# Mississippi River Minneapolis Fishing Report - November 28, 2025

Well folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you live with your Friday morning fishing report for the Mississippi River right here in Minneapolis.

**The Conditions**

We're looking at a cold one out there today. Sunrise was at 6:52 AM and we'll see sunset at 7:41 PM. It's going to be still cold with highs only reaching the low 20s, but here's the thing – we've got light winds early shifting to southeast at 5-10 mph by afternoon, and that's actually pretty decent for getting out on the water.

Now here's where it gets interesting. There's a system moving in tonight and Saturday that's going to bring some snow to the area, so if you're thinking about heading out this weekend, I'd suggest doing it sooner rather than later.

**Moon and Tide Activity**

The moon is in a waxing crescent phase at about 15% illumination. For tide times, we're looking at a high at 3:03 AM and another high at 3:53 PM with lows at 10:09 AM and 10:13 PM. This gives us some decent windows to work with throughout the day.

**What's Been Biting**

The word from local anglers is that walleyes have been absolutely outstanding lately – November's been a hot month for them out here. Light tackle and live bait have been producing solid numbers. We're also seeing good reports on speckled trout and snook, with anglers using artificial lures like topwater and jigs getting the job done.

**Recommended Hotspots**

Head down toward the lock and dam structures – always a solid bet. The backwaters near the main channel breaks are holding fish right now too. Both spots give you good current breaks to work.

**Gear Up Right**

Bring your light tackle setup. Live bait rigs are your friend today, but don't sleep on artificial lures – bottom fishing presentations and jigs are producing. Mix it up out there.

Get out there early, stay warm, and make it a great day on the water, folks. Thanks for tuning in and don't forget to subscribe.
