MarDon Resort Fresh News – September 3rd, 2025
Largemouth bass fishing has been excellent this week! Fish top water early and late
and make sure to have a wacky rigged senko or drop-shot rig ready to throw at missed
fish. Fish from the state park up the face of the sand dunes and into crab creek. Anglers
are using ó oz jigs, swim baits, chatter baits, spinnerbaits, and Texas rigged plastics.
Fish are being found in 1-20 feet of water. Lots of 1–3-pound fish are being caught with
a few in the 4+ pound range.
Walleye fishing has picked up this past week. Walleye can be caught by trolling the
deep humps on the face of the sand dunes and along the outlet. Troll either a #5 or #7
Flicker shad at 2.2 to 2.5 mph. Anglers can also troll a slow death rig with a crawler at
1.2 mph. Fish in 10-25 feet of water. Jigging should start to be effective, try casting or
vertically jig Jigging Raps or blade baits.
Trout fishing has been fair. Troll a #9 Flicker minnow or spoons at 2-3 mph. Fish
Medicare Beach or from MarDon Resort to Blythe Point. From shore, fish Medicare
Beach with PowerBait or Night Crawlers.
Reports of bluegill, crappie and some big perch are coming in from the face of the sand
dunes as well as on the humps in front of the dunes. Most fish are being caught by
anglers trolling for walleye. Anglers that are targeting Pan fish are using a slip bobber
set up tipped with a trout magnet or Strike King Lil Suck’r along the channels and
Habitat Boxes after marking the school on your electronics. Also trolling a #5 jointed
Flicker Shad across the face of the sand dunes is another way to locate schools of pan
fish.
