Detroit Lakes Fishing Report: "Boat For Sale" Edition (10/14/25)

With the seasonable weather finally rolling in, reality will be hitting us soon.  It was a good stretch though!  I will be putting my boat into storage next week, unless someone buys it off me first (see details below). While you shouldn’t count out mid-lake structure completely, fish can be found back where they started the open water season–near shore.  Fish “first” breaklines, closest to shore, and you should be able to find what you’re looking for.  Jigs and rigs (including slip bobbers) tipped with medium to large minnows are the go to presentations for walleye, pike, and bass the remainder of the season.  If you’re chasing muskies, now is the time to troll those monster sucker minnows behind the boat.  You can find them at County 6 and Witt’s, currently.  Good luck to all of you still fishing.  Docks are coming out, so pack your waders!
