Lake Minnetonka Fishing
October Fishing Report
October is when the temps get down in the 50s and the lake will start to turnover. Cold water will sink and warmer water will rise. During this period, the lake becomes very murky making fishing difficult. This typically lasts about two weeks. After that occurs, the fishing gets good again.
Fish are going to move to the deeper edges of the weeds in suspended rock piles, as the water temps drop. You'll find walleye and bass on suspended rock piles. Jig fish the walleye with fat heads, crawlers.
Bass you can throw crank baits and spinner baits.
Musky fishing is picking up now on the outside edges of the weed flats.
Northern are on the weed edges in about 12 to 15 feet of water and will chase spinner baits and a sucker minnow.
Panfish are on the outside edges of the weeds.
