Fishing DOWNTOWN MINNEAPOLIS for Hazardous Fish!

  • Sometimes fishing in Minneapolis/St.Paul can be tough. This video is a good example of that. Didn’t have much time to fish but I dangled some lures in the sippi river for bass and buffalo. Fished some weird structures and a mud flat that had lots of buffalo and carp feeding. Ended up finishing with 2 different species, but that just gives me more motivation to get back out there!
    Feel free to drop a like if you enjoyed, it really helps out the channel!

    the bigmouth buffalo is one of the longest living freshwater fish species and a real gem of a catch.
    native, handle with care and well done youngster.

    To answer a few things 1. He is at Father Hennepin Bluff Park in Minneapolis. 2. The plant and creek are a spillway part of a small Hydroelectric station there. 3. You can easily get where he is using the lower trail, maps are posted around the park.

    We used to fish down there almost everyday during summer vacation (lake 60s/early 70s). Take the 6 bus to get downtown and walk across the island to the other side. Can of corn to get started. Carp. Channel cats, sheepshead, smallmouth, crappies and saugers. Few northerns too.

    there’s not a lot of industry that happens on the Mississippi in downtown, so the fish are likely fine for eating. Just because it’s a city doesn’t mean everything is “toxic”.

    • @TransDrummer1312
      @TransDrummer1312 2 місяці тому +1

      The main reason stuff is toxic in that part of the river is cuz of the wreckage of the old 135 bridge. Lot of stuff leaked into the water that wasn't properly cleaned up. There's also the roof depot in East Phillips (across 94) which leaked arsenic into the soil and groundwater for the last century, and the damage it's done has been horrifically downplayed by the industries that controlled the city council and mayor's office since the early 1900s.

    hey man! so one tip for ya is to give your jerkbait a good pause. like, just a 2-3 second pause is all you need this time of year. 95% of the fish eat it on the pause, especially in current because it is just drifting along.

    • @North_Star_Fishing
      @North_Star_Fishing  Рік тому +1

      I tried that for a while and even went to longer 5+ seconds pauses just didn’t put it in the video. Must’ve just been throwing the wrong bait that day. Thanks for the recommendation I appreciate it!

    Throw some in line spinners bruh. They kill walleye at the cr dam like that. If you haven't tried one before, they're excellent with a swim bait or pork lure. That and some braided line n leader and your as invincible as can be. Just remember the razor😉 see u out there dude.

    If you go on the walking bridge you can see the giant snapping turtles in that area. They are probably leaving those heads everywhere. If you go to the other side of the river just before the water barge the fishing is much better for game fish. I used to walk that area on my lunch break for years. Watch out for the lunatic duck that will try to kill you😂
