need help

Plan on going to Mille lacs in 2 weeks. Plan on fishing the east side of the lake. Never fished the lake though so need help on were to fish on the east side of the lake.

Big Point, 3 mile, Lakeside, Fischers, Agate Bay, and then the mud. Alot is going to depend on how far you can drive , or if you have a sled of 4 wheeler.

bringing 4-wheeler, so if we do decide to venture to the west part of the lake and good islands or points to fish at and how thick is the ice, how deep to fish, what kind of jigs and colers to use. that kind of help would be very nice for a new person on that lake

The 4 wheeler will help. I would get out in the deep water, or reef edges. Use Northland Eye dropper jig- orange. Glow jigs probably 1/8 oz. down to 1/16. (chart/glow, orange/glow, black/glow) Jigging raps, sweedish pimples with minnow heads when jigging these types of lures.

You could always use a plain red or glow hook with a minnow under a bobber also if fishing inside a house.

Weather permitting I would put a tip up out with larger minnows- maybe suckers 5-9 " (for a shot at a Pig) or larger shiners (4-7").

You could otherwise get by with rainbows or smaller shiners 3-5"

Good luck and Post your results.
