Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Superior fishing report for March 19, 2025.

Let's start with the weather - it's a chilly one out there today, folks. We're looking at temps around 34°F with partly cloudy skies and a brisk northwest wind at 15-20 mph. Bundle up if you're heading out! Sunrise was at 7:12 AM and we'll see the sun dip below the horizon at 7:18 PM.

Now, onto the fishing. Lake trout have been the stars of the show lately. Anglers are reporting good catches in the 30-50 foot range, especially near the Duluth entry and off Wisconsin Point. Some nice coho salmon are starting to show up too, mostly in the 16-18 inch range.

For lures, blade baits like the Zip or Big Dude in white or firetiger have been hot. Don't overlook the classic spoons either - Williams Wablers in hammered silver or brass are still producing. If you're up for some jigging, try a 3-inch tube jig on a 3/8-ounce head in white pearl or silver-grey.

Live bait fans, big suckers or shiners in the 6-10 inch range are your best bet for trophy lake trout. For a more active approach, try jigging a large soft plastic swimbait like a 9-inch Bull Dawg.

Hot spots to check out: The area around the Lester River mouth has been productive, and don't sleep on the deep water off Park Point. If you're willing to make the trip, the Apostle Islands area is starting to heat up too.

As for tides, we're looking at a high tide of 0.3 feet at 3:17 PM and a low tide of 0.2 feet at 9:21 PM. Remember, these are minor fluctuations compared to ocean tides, but they can still affect fish behavior.

That's all for now, folks. Tight lines and stay safe out there!
