In Towne Marina Lake Waconia - 7/1/23 - 4th of July hours and fireworks info

We will be open Sunday the 2nd, Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th at 7 am each day. We close at our normal 8:30 pm time except on the 4th of July stay open until the end of the Lake Waconia Fireworks show put on by the Waconia Lion’s Club. Fireworks usually start at 10 pm and last for 20 minutes or so.

Speaking of the fireworks show, we are happy to help sponsor the event for another year and thankful for the work the volunteers do to put on such a great show! It will be held at the Lake Waconia Regional Park on the southeast side of the lake. Those of you who would like to watch from the marina, you are welcome to join us by our shoreline access or deck (not on the docks). Please park on the street and walk down. Our parking lot will be only available to slip and buoy members. We hope you enjoy the show and have a safe and happy holiday!

To help raise more money for future fireworks shows, we are selling raffle tickets for $25 each to possibly win an Ice Castle fish house. Thanks to the Waconia Fire Relief Association and Waconia Lion’s Club for donating the fish house!

We’ll see you at the lake!

In Towne Marina Lake Waconia Opener Fishing Report and Temporary Hours - 5/14/23

We will have temporarily shortened hours this week as we begin to bring boats back to the marina slips and buoys. Hours will be 2 pm to 7 pm Monday through Friday. Saturday 5/20 we open 8 am to 7 pm and Sunday 5/21 we open 9 am to 7 pm. We are NOT selling gas at this time. We will announce when that becomes available in the near future

.
We hope those of you who ventured out in the rain had some success this weekend. A good friend of the marina caught and released a 27-1/2 inch walleye! One of the marina employees caught a 16 incher and a 24-1/2 incher too! Staying shallower in less than 8 feet of water after dark has worked so far. Fathead minnows on jigs and shallow crankbaits (like a Rapala) brought in some of those fish. Classic opener locations like the Rock Dock, Peterson's Creek (aka the "Carp Trap"), the Clay Banks and Harm's point are all good areas for early season walleyes. We continue to see crappies being caught about 100 yards west of the marina. Nothing too shallow yet, but in the 6 to 10 foot range. Keepers typically are 9-1/2 to 10 inchers with some occasionally 12 to 14 inches mixed in.

Good Luck!

Closed for the Season after Sunday March 5th

 It has been an interesting Winter! Sunday, March 5th will be the last day we will be open for this season. Lake Roads and Access- We will NOT be plowing the snow coming this Sunday March 5th into Monday March 6th as we will not be here. Our access is fine now but is getting pretty potholed. The plan is to leave the access open for use after March 5th while conditions allow. We will post here when the access is blocked, but we might not be able to give notice ahead of time because of conditions. 

Reminder- Fish house removal! All shelters must be off the ice no later than midnight March 6th. Shelters can remain on the ice between midnight and one hour before sunrise only when occupied or attended. Remember the Game fish season is closed.  

We appreciate everyone who supported us during this wild winter! 

Thank You,

The Mase Family
