In Towne Marina Lake Waconia Fishing and Lake Report - 5/22/2020

With Memorial Weekend here, we are now extending our bait shop hours for the summer! Hours now are Sunday through Friday from 7:30 am to 8:30 pm and Saturdays from 6:30 am to 8:30 pm. Gas service will run from 9 am to 7:45 pm every day. Keep in mind, due to Covid-19 and the restrictions given to us by the DNR, we have limited our access on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays only to those with an Everyday Season Pass ($199 plus tax). Regular weekdays we allow daily-pay access use for $7.

Water temps have remained in the upper 50’s during most of May, which has held up the crappie spawn up to this point. Also, sunfish have yet to set up shallow beds. Having said that, action has been very good! Because the water temps haven’t varied much lately, you’ll find fish in a bunch of different depths. Vary your depths depending on the day, but expect shallow panfish activity when things warm up. Bass Opener is this Saturday too! Bass have been biting well during this catch-and-release time period. Expect to find them shallow in the reeds, by Peterson’s Creek (carp trap area) and by the Rock Dock in Wagener’s Bay. We’ve had numerous reports of a wide range of sizes of northern pike recently too! As for walleyes, there have been some successful reports continuing to come from Harm’s Point, parts of Center Reef, North Reef and the Clay Banks as well as early shallower areas near Peterson’s Creek and the Rock Dock.

Our Pontoon and Fishing Boat rental season is now in full swing! Call (952) 442-2096 to reserve! Due to Covid-19, we are only able to rent to members of the same household at this time. To see our rates and policies, click here...
