For November 24, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Superior near Duluth is looking promising despite the cooler fall weather. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

### Weather and Tidal Conditions
The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 45°F and a low of 35°F. Winds will be moderate, coming from the northwest at about 10-15 mph. Since Lake Superior is a freshwater lake, tidal changes are minimal, but water levels are currently extremely low due to dry conditions.

### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at 4:34 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and evening fishing.

### Fish Activity
With the colder weather setting in, fish are transitioning into their fall patterns. Yesterday saw a good amount of activity, particularly for walleyes and lake trout. Walleyes have moved into their fall patterns, congregating around mid-lake humps and rock piles. On the St. Louis River, anglers were successful pulling spinners in ten feet of water or less, working them slow and close to the bottom.

Lake trout were also active, with anglers catching decent numbers in the 20-28 inch range, primarily near the bottom in 80-120 feet of water using spoons and flashers. Salmon, especially king salmon, have been running the rivers, but their numbers are winding down.

### Best Lures and Bait
For walleyes, stick baits and crankbaits have been effective, especially in the stained water coming out of the St. Louis River. For lake trout, flasher fly combos are the way to go. On the St. Louis River, slow trolling with crankbaits and spinners at 0.8 to 1 mph has triggered the most bites.

### Hot Spots
- **Mid-lake humps and rock piles**: These areas are attracting walleyes as they move into their fall patterns.
- **St. Louis River**: This river is a hot spot for walleyes, particularly in five to eight feet of water where slow trolling with crankbaits and spinners is effective.
- **Nearshore areas**: These areas are seeing a decent amount of fish activity, especially for lake trout and coho salmon.

Overall, the fall bite on Lake Superior near Duluth is heating up, and with the right lures and knowledge of the hot spots, you should have a successful day on the water.
