Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for all things fishin' around Lake Superior in Duluth. It's a crisp Saturday mornin' here on March 28, 2026, and we're lookin' at partly sunny skies with highs near 46 degrees, southwest winds at 10-15 mph gustin' to 30. WDIO weather says it'll feel breezy out there, so bundle up—lows dipped to single digits yesterday, but we're warmin' up. Sunrise was at 7:22 AM, sunset around 7:45 PM, givin' us a solid 12+ hours of light. No real tides on Superior, but lake levels are steady, no big surges reported.
Fish are bitin' steady despite the chill—coho salmon are hot right now, back to excellent action after that storm, per Outdoor News Michigan DNR reports from March 25. Locals pulled in cohos and even some burbot near the big lake, with YouTube anglers showin' limits on kokanee-style tactics. Catches are up: strings of 5-10 cohos per boat, plus perch and smelt in the shallows. Walleye are fair in tributaries, and trout stockings nearby mean rainbows might cruise the bays.
Best lures? Go with Yakima Bait spoons or flashy divers for cohos—they're crushin' 'em in 20-40 feet. For bait, minnows or alewives on rigs, or worms for perch. Trilene XL mono line holds strong at 43-pound test if you're trollin' deep.
Hit these hot spots: Knife River mouth for cohos trollin' 1.5-2.5 mph, or Park Point shallows for perch jiggin'. Stay safe out there—ice is off but winds kick waves quick.
