In Towne Marina Lake Waconia Report - Fishing Opener 2022!

Happy Fishing Opener Eve! We will be open tonight (5/13) until 1 am for all your bait and tackle needs. We open back up Saturday morning at 5 am! Our gas pump service will begin Saturday after 10 am.

We have a good mix of nice size fatheads as well as shiners if you’re looking to live minnow fish. With the cold spring, leech size has been stunted so far, so we have limited quantities of large leeches, with most being regular/medium size. We sell night crawlers by the dozen packed in paper. For those going for the pike we have a good mix of sucker minnows available. If you’re panfishing, we have plenty of crappies, wax worms and angle worms in stock.

If you’re going out overnight for walleyes, try fishing areas like Harm’s Point, the Rock Dock and Peterson’s Creek (we call it the Carp Trap). With the rain the past several days, it should be flowing good and hopefully the bite will be on! Water temps are in the mid-to-upper 50’s, so it should still be a good early season bite with plenty of opportunity to catch them in less than 10 feet of water.

We look forward to seeing you!
