Summary
Fishing Pier, located on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, MN, offers excellent shore fishing access. Best fishing is along the pier and nearby riverbanks, especially near current breaks and eddies. Popular species include smallmouth bass, walleye, catfish, and freshwater drum. Spring and fall are ideal for walleye and bass, while catfish bite well in summer. Effective baits include live minnows, nightcrawlers, and soft plastics. No boat access from the pier—this is strictly a shore fishing spot. The area is easily accessible and popular among urban anglers. Fish early morning or evening for best results.

Angling Safety Guidelines
Check local fishing rules, seasons, size limits, and license requirements to ensure legal and sustainable angling.
Handle Fish Responsibly
Use wet hands, minimize air exposure, and release fish gently to improve survival rates when practicing catch-and-release.
Choose the Right Gear
Match your rod, line, and tackle to the species and conditions to increase success and reduce unnecessary harm to fish.
Respect the Waterway
Avoid disturbing habitat, prevent bank erosion, and keep a safe distance from spawning areas to protect ecosystems.
Keep It Clean
Pack out all line, hooks, bait containers, and trash—discarded gear can injure wildlife and degrade waterways.
