# Mississippi River Minneapolis Fishing Report – Thursday, November 27th
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with today's fishing report for the Twin Cities.
We're looking at a cold one this Thanksgiving morning along the Mississippi. Sunrise hit at 7:24 AM and we're wrapping up daylight by 4:40 PM, so get out there early if you're planning to wet a line. Water temps are hovering in that low-to-mid 50s range, which means the fish have settled into their deeper winter patterns.
**The Action**
Walleye fishing has been solid on the Mississippi and our deeper metro lakes. Target the 18 to 30-foot breaks—you'll want to focus on 10 to 18-foot structure on Pool 1 and the main channel. Those jigs tipped with fatheads are working like a charm, and don't sleep on a Jigging Rap on inside turns. This time of year, smallmouth bass are pushing hard into current seams and midriver rubble, so swing Ned rigs and 3 to 4-inch swimbaits just off bottom.
The muskie reports have been improving too—watch for those bait clouds hanging over 12 to 20 feet. Northern pike are still prowling the remaining green weeds, and burning spinnerbaits over the tops will get their attention.
**Where to Go**
Head to **Saint Anthony Falls and Boom Island** near downtown—you're looking at some quality structure and current breaks. If you want to push a little further, **Lake Harriet and Lake Nokomis** have been consistent for walleye action, especially around windward edges and inside weedlines.
**Best Bet**
With the late-fall turnover wrapping up, prioritize areas with even slightly clearer water. Fresh fatheads or live bait will trigger more commitment in that short strike window. Dawn and dusk remain your money times, and overcast days have been delivering steady bites.
