Fall fishing is officially here, and water temperatures are dropping right on schedule! The minnow bite is picking up, and our guides are finding the most success using mooch minnows, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and chatterbaits.

Stop by the shop to stock up on live bait and gear. Our fall hours are 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily, and we are located right down the road at 23640 MN HWY 7, Excelsior MN

Nothing beats a fishing trip up north in the fall! 🍂🎣

Keenan Reed and Cason Hiers were up on Lake Vermillion for the 7th annual Tony Lee Bass Clash!

The boys were just outside the top 10 cut out of 50 boats, weighing in a sack of smallies worth 17.58 pounds! It appears they were the only deep v boat in the field. Look at the bellies on those fish!

Job well done boys! 😈
