I have never fished this lake before looking for help. I really don't ice fish much either so any info would be greatly app. I think we are going to stay at hunter windfields any info would be greatly app.

Hunter Winfield's are great people and will steer you in the right direction. Also, concider Appledoorn's, either one will get you on fish.

by then we should have good ice and roads. I would look to the mid lake structures (gravel and mud).

i stick withg the basics, 1/16 oz glow jig with a minnow hooked in the tail, that time of year i would think deeper like 27-28 ft, did real well last year during the day for walleye..

We look forward to seeing you on the 7th - we'll have you setup and ready to go and will do our best to have you on fish. We move the wheel houses frequently...I was just in one last night - caught a few perch and a fat 26" walleye....call us in advance of your reservation if you have specific concerns or questions - we'll take care of you!

Regards,

Margie

margie,

your houses have a stove in it for making pizzas and cookies right. how many rattle reels are usually in there also. we will be coming up with a few rookies so i hope everything works out. so any info on what colors and spoons would be great. they don't have much so we can buy what we need.

thanks so much

Staple colors to use on Mille Lacs are Green, Orange, Gold, and glow. I prefer glow over all colors. JIggin raps, buckshot rattlespoons, cleos, swedish pimples, and glow jigs will all get you fish. If you want to use tip-ups, use large suckers and shiners for the pigs and if you want to catch more fish, but not as big of fish, use medium shiners, chubs, or suckers. Light line for leaders and fish the midlake reefs and adjacent deep water and you will be ok. Good luck.

      Water Temps 48-52. I tried for crappies and caught two walleye. I can't even crappie fish. 1/32 ounce jig and a tiny minnow

      Looks like you could use a FM hat. 😉    The future son in law prefers the lump coal.  He’ll start it in coal starter over a propane burner, then dump in it his smoker grill as needed.   Congrats on the clean break “over there”.

      Should really start a What yeah Smoking thread!    Another fun place we tried when up in Duluth. OMC stands for "Oink, Moo, Cluck" They serve pork cracklins for starter to test their sauces on.

      On the east side of St. Boni. It's not too far from me. A friend lives in St Boni and loves the place. I haven't tried it yet.

      First time ever going there with the wife. Little spendy but they make some darn good piles of meat! We had the brisket! 😋

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!
