Fish species in Section 29

Section 29 is a lake in Lake County, Minnesota. Section 29 covers about 100 acres, reaches a recorded 20 feet and holds about 752 acre-feet.

What to Expect at Section 29

Section 29 is small enough to check weeds, wood, rock and the first deep drop without spending the whole day moving around.

Fish and Useful Baits at Section 29

Fish reported from Section 29 include blacknose shiner, burbot, common shiner, golden shiner, northern pike, pumpkinseed, rock bass, walleye, white sucker, and yellow perch.

Yellow Perch and Sunfish

For panfish at Section 29, fish a worm, cricket or tiny jig near weeds for pumpkinseed, and keep a small jig, minnow or worm close to bottom for yellow perch.

Walleye

For roaming fish at Section 29, jig a minnow or troll a crankbait along points and deeper edges for walleye.

Northern Pike

For large predators at Section 29, cast a spoon, spinnerbait or swimbait beside weeds for northern pike.

Rock Bass

At Section 29, use a small jig, worm or tiny crankbait around rock and firm shorelines for rock bass.

Burbot

For other cold-water fish at Section 29, fish a glow jig or natural bait close to bottom after dark for burbot.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Section 29

On a first trip to Section 29, check one quiet cove, one rocky or firm point and the nearby deep water with a moving lure, then use a jig or worm where you find fish.

When to Fish Section 29

Spring at Section 29 is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall at Section 29 can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
