Lake Kabetogama Fishing Report

Leeches on a jig are still working well for walleye and smallies and we’re starting to bring in plenty of fish on crawlers as well. Yesterday, our guests brought in several full limits of walleyes and a few nice smallmouth. Smallies have been congregating on rock piles and are in large numbers when you get into them. Water temperatures are hanging on to the mid-to low-60s but will start dropping soon as night temperatures get colder.

Pike have been more elusive lately with no specific pattern to report for those that have been caught. They’ve been anywhere from weedbeds to out in the deep flats of the main lake. Big sucker minnows seem to be performing the best and we have a good supply on hand at the Kab Outdoors store. Come in and stock up to get out to find them yourself.

Our leech supply is coming to end soon but is the bait of choice for walleye right now, so stop in and get some while you still can. We’ve had some guests starting to lead line the deep water, but this strategy often results in a high kill rate, so keep that in mind.

Bear Update

WOW! What a great bear season it is turning out to be with our hunters out notching tags left and right. We’ve already had some huge black bears taken this season over the 300lb mark. One hunter, Marc, was determined not to give up and it paid off. With 30+ hours in the stand, he harvested one of the biggest bears of the week after watching hunters come and go with filled tags. We’ve even had wolves trying to get in on all the action (check out the timestamps on the images below at a bear harvest scene).

Winter is Coming

There’s still time to reserve one of our few openings to enjoy fall at the resort, but it’s time to start thinking about winter and the ice fishing to be had on Lake Kabetogama. We have SnoBear rentals available to get you on the ice in comfort! Call and book today! It’s one of the best ways to experience the lake and an easy way to take friends and family out with you that aren’t fond of the freezing cold temps of northern MN.
