Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Superior fishing report for March 30, 2025. It's a chilly morning in Duluth, with temps hovering around 33°F and a northeast wind blowing at 6 to 18 mph. Bundle up if you're heading out!

Sunrise is at 6:46 AM, and sunset will be at 7:37 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet our lines. As for tides, we're looking at a high tide of 0.2 feet at 4:05 PM and a low tide of 0.07 feet at 9:55 AM. Keep in mind, these tidal changes are minimal on Lake Superior.

Now, let's talk fish! Lake trout have been biting well, with anglers reporting catches in the 20 to 30-inch range. Coho salmon are starting to show up too, mostly in the 14-16 inch range. A few steelhead have been spotted near river mouths, so keep an eye out for those silver bullets.

For lures, white has been the color of choice lately. Smelt patterns are working well, so stock up on those blade baits like Zip or Big Dude in white or firetiger. Don't forget your 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.

Remember, ice conditions are changing fast with the warmer weather, so be extra cautious if you're venturing out on the hard water. Shore anglers, keep an eye on the Lester and St. Louis Rivers as we get closer to steelhead season.

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