Best place to get to the flats


Professional Edge

Recommended Posts

I am headed up later this week and would like to get to the flats. I am taking my son along so I do not want to take any risks.

Guess I am wondering where is the best place to put in to get there? I will be on sled.

Any help would be appreciated.

Keith,

The ice seems to be a bit thicker the further east you go. We were up last weekend and watched a small group heading out to the mud out of myr-mar, but I would suggest going out of the red door. The ice is inconsistent, but you should be fine on a sled.

Yes, ice out on Mille Lacs is definitely inconsistent... If you are thinking about driving, then just forget about it... If you have a snowmobile, then go for it...

Mille Lacs ice has cracked before in the past...

Im not saying this to scare you or be an a---- but when you leave the shore there is always "risk" involved.Remember the old saying,"Ice is never safe"Hope you have a good day catching and not just fishing!c63 grin.gif

      Don't take me wrong, I'm not anti-technology.  Battery powdered items will always have their place.  I'm mean you don't want your girl friend or wife in the bedroom playing for their gas powered adult toys!!  That would be a bit loud and smokey!

      That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty.  Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.   As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows,  you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.

      I think electric items have their places, I just don't think large commercial jobs are going to be able to work well with them. Can't see a logging crew out in the woods all day changing batteries!
