What to bring
Every spot above is bank fishing, which is what this site is about. The Shore Setup Selector asks four questions about the water in front of you and returns one rig, and the one setup to start with covers what to buy first. If the spot is a pier over deeper water, when to add a bullet weight is the one to read before you go.
Before you drive
DNR lists these public fishing sites; the managing organization is shown in each row. A map pin identifies a recorded site, not a guarantee of current access or a report that bass are there. Check with the manager before traveling.
A spot marked "Not recorded as accessible" has a false ADA-accessibility flag in DNR's data. A spot with no note has an unspecified flag; that does not tell us whether anyone assessed accessibility. Confirm current facilities with the manager.
Lake and access data on this page comes from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Public Fishing Sites in Minnesota. MN DNR contributed the data and does not endorse this site. We publish it under DNR's general data licence, which requires this credit and forbids reselling the data, so there is no download here. Check the DNR record before you drive: access, fees, and regulations change, and DNR's copy is the current one.
