Fish Report 8/26/25

It’s August! Lots of food in the lakes and a lot of the fish are well fed. Under the right conditions, things can be good but the best fishing is coming up later this fall. We continue to fish many of the lakes in and around the Brainerd area. Some of the walleyes are showing themselves on the humps and deep water points. We’ve been catching them on a variety of baits, but my...

“Four of us went out on Pelican Lake with Dustin last week and had an absolute blast. This was my second or third time fishing with Dustin and he always puts us on the fish. Everyone on the boat caught at least one walleye and we also got some northern and bass. We had some weather roll through for a half hour or so and Dustin has us Californians covered with rain suits at the ready. Cannot recommend Dustin enough for a great day on the lake. We’ll be back!!”

Dan took us out on Gull Lake. It was cold! He had extra gear on board including wind pants for me. In all, we caught 2 pike and 5 bass. He showed us the places to fish on our own. It was great for me-he handed me a baited rod and reel and took my fish off the rod as I caught them. All I had to do is hook them! Great guy. I highly recommend.

“Walleyedan and his wife went above and beyond to accommodate our family trip to gull lake. We only rented for one day but he set up the other family members the day prior and assisted in departure of the lake the day after our rental. He continually checked on us. His service was phenomenal. You don’t see that kind of service these days. Highly recommend him. The ice castle was clean, fully equipped with gear to use. Thanks for helping in all areas!”
