June Trip

Recommended Posts

Can anyone look into their crystal ball and make a projection on the bite for June 15 -22nd? Planning a trip to Fisher's resort then.

Thank You,

Joe

With the amount of bait fish right now I think JAYSUPNORTH is right. Now that the bigger eyes are well fed, I have a feeling it will be the smaller more aggressive fish this year. Regardless, the eyes in Mille Lacs usually have a pretty good appetite from opener through June. Haven't missed an opener in over 15 years on the pond and don't plan to miss it this year either!

You neglected to mention that the bite slows during the mayfly hatch. Almost to nothing. Or maybe I just don't have the technique. The guys at Fisher's Resort say the same thing about the mayflys though.
The hatch happens usually late May early June, I'm certain that by the time you are there it will be long over.

Heres a tip: If its dead calm, and the flies are thick as a blizzard, head off the edges of the mud in the deepest water you can find. "No mans land" areas with clam beds can be hot. These will be areas that can be as much as 100 yards to 1/4 of a mile off any structure. Use your finder to mark schools of feeding fish. Don't assume any suspended fish are not Walleyes. Sometimes the bite wont peak until after 11pm. Most of my 200+ fish nights on my launches came during the worse bug hatches with some of the biggest pigs of the season biting as well. Its all timing and finding the active fish.

DJ,
So is it possible to troll suspended eyes most of the year? I have not done this much the few times I have fished Mille Lacs but do alot elswhere. I guess all the rumor I have heard has been the suspended trolling bite doestn happen until late summer. What advice can you give me on this? thanks,

I have experienced slower fishing during the hatch but can usually manage to make it worthwile. Early mornings and evening to night is the way to go during the hatch.

Yes, you can catch suspended fish anytime of the year including the winter months. I talked to Ross Grothe at the Walleye Expo and he agreed they can be caught night or day suspended. Best advise I can give is pulling planner boards with cranks until you contact fish.

      I came up when it was hot (mid 80's) and unfortunately it has stayed that way the whole trip.  I knew I was doomed when Pike Bay was over 82 degrees, and Big Bay was well in the mid 70's.  Skies have been blue, and with little wind to break up the water.  I got up around 5 am, and stayed on the lake until 10 or so.  I didn't want to get sick, this is supposed to be fun afterall, and I came back on after 4 pm.  I trolled trying to find them.  I was successful, but only got enough to get some fish fry's for the family.  The bigger ones came from lead core, with an occasional one coming in from trolling shallow.  DNR stopped by while on the lake, and he said the mayfly hatch might be starting.  Good luck everybody!

      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!
