Fall on Minnetonka

Minnetonka is turning over right now and the bite is tough. Water temp is around 53 degrees. Weeds are starting to die and make for some surface clutter and the water is still a little murky from turning over.

Bass I have been catching some bass the main pattern has been trowing spinnerbaits over tops of weed flats, around docks, and any laydown trees you can find. White or something with Chartuse in it seem to work best.
If you have a calm day try some topwater baits.

Walleyes The Eye bite has been tough during the day all though they can be caught you really work for them. I got a 28 incher Friday about 11 a.m. working a weedline. The better Walleye bite has been at night. Look for rock or hard bottom in the eastern bays. Try using minnow type baits or a jig and minnow. I especially like Red Tails when choosing a minnow. Look deep during they day and then a little shallower at night. 

Pike work weed flats with spinnerbaits or small bucktails. The bite has been a little slow for Pike also. I'm catching them but not the numbers like in summer.

Musky I have not been fishing Musky. But the guys who are, are trowing jerkbaits over weed flats. I did see a 40 incher caught the other day. You can also try large spinners or bucktails. Another technique that may pay off is trolling a large sucker minnow under a large bobber real slow.

Good fishing to you.
