I would like to try perch fishing on Mille Lacs tomorrow. Any hotspots? How deep should I fish? Is the ice decent?

Thanks,

Dan Johnson

I don't know how the perch fishing has been recently, but it wasn't much good all season. I have told many others, skip it, and drive to Winnie. Winnie is really hot, nice size and nice numbers. Check out the Winnie forum if you are interested in heading up.

Good luck!

I know Winnie is good, but I'm from Mankato and it's a little long to drive for a day trip. Any other suggestions for Mille Lacs other than drive to Winnie?

Thanks

Danj/ i was up for 5 days and we caught Perch in 27 feet on the gravel. They still are not schooled up. You may want to call ahead for road info. I was on the SW side and the resorts are not plowing the roads. There is alot of snow on the lake. Snowmobile travel is best.

      Question for this knowledgeable group   I've noticed over the past two weeks at the lake that in certain areas there seems to be a ton of black "duck-like" floaters that seem to congregate by tons and stir up the water and then move to another area close by, stir up the water again and move again. I've seen them recently in Greenwood Bay and around Fectos.   Are these cormorants? Are they stirring up the water by fishing?   Thanks

      Followed the advice I posted, slip bobbers w rainbows and crawlers in big bay on a dozen humps topping out at 6 to 12'. Caught a few smalles and a couple 12" walleyes. So not very successful but maybe didn't hit the right humps or lake was too calm or wrong time of day - 7:30 11 am. That's why they call it fishin'

      I may have to take you up on that. I've been moving for a month and don't even have my boat in the lake yet!

      Walleye Report:  Just spent a week on the lake (East end).  The fishing was as hot as the weather with many, many 14-25" walleyes.   Surface Temps: Consistently 70-72 with the recent hot weather.  Swimming was comfortable the past three days.  Depths:  All caught in less than 10 FOW Techniques: Lures - Plastics and jerkbaits.  We bought two dozen leeches but never opened them.  I do regret not watching a bobber dip below the surface.   Tactics: Cast and retrieve lures in sandy bays, over main lake/secondary rocky points, across rocky flats, between sandy flats, and throughout silt/mud bays with shallow weeds.  A little wind and clouds helped but was not always necessary.  And we had lots of random fish.    Advice:  Get out there and fish.  These patterns should hold for the next week-two.  The fish are aggressively feeding in the shallows where they are finding crawfish, shiners, etc.  A fast moving bait is getting hammered.  I literally can't tell you how many times I saw fish INHALE our presentations at the boat.   The population is healthy.  Catch and keep a few and let a bunch of them go.     Good luck.

      Excellent report with Q&A video of Vermilion fishing over Memorial day weekend on the Everett Bay Lodge Facebook page. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0P6R367DVCXxuZN9LQmZo3ptHADXTbR7NewV2P4W8BouagdzmZ56RpSC6SP2KTjNhl&id=100031660668169&sfnsn=mo&mibextid=RUbZ1f Good timely advice on walleyes
    • leech~~
      Lol, if they had enough enforcement in the first place. They may catch them the rest of the season without the tag!
