Hardly believe in two weeks I'll be heading up to the pond for the opener. I can't wait! Where are people dropping their boats? I think I'll be headed up to the sand and work the Malmo area. Anybody else?

I'll be up Friday morning. I'll be staying in Macs Twin Bay, depending on the conditions and wind I plan to fish the east and south side of the lake. I imagine i'll be drinking a few beers at "Smokin Hills".

Does anyone have marine radios? And if so what channel will you all be on???

I'll be fishing a smaller lake at midnight Friday, but we'll be heading to Mille Lacs for a little Saturday fishing. Not looking forward to the zoo at the boat landing. Will try either the Garrison area or Malmo. Hope fishing is good!

Tour Pro,
I'll be in the SW corner also, a buddy of mine has a trailer at Edgewter, if the wind blows too hard in the south I may trailer up and head to the sand near Malmo. Otherwise, give me a holler on 69 and let me know how you're doing, I'll do the same.

I don't know about you guys but it will be tough to sleep tonight with visions of walleyes dancing in our heads. Can't wait to hit the big pond early Saturday. Sounds like plenty of warm clothes and the coffee jug are in play for the weekend. Good luck to all and remember every good fisherman's three favorite words.............GET THE NET!!!

P.S Any body else going to stay up a bit longer because Mothers Day is over.

Ole,

Sorry no radio, but if you see a blonde guy in guidewear running from the front of a Tour. Pro 175 with a 150 Merc and a 9.9 Merc kicker swing over and say hi.

Good luck,
Paul

FNG here. I am having a hard time concentrating at all this week. Tomorrow can't come soon enough. Be up in WigWam, Sherman's Point and JarJar Banks most likely.

How far is it by boat from the casino landing to the malmo area? I like the landing by the casino, but it would probably make more sense to land at malmo.

I just don't like trying new landings on opener morning.

Any advice would be great.

Tour,
Sounds good I have a ProV 1890 175EFI Merc. it's a brown/gold signature series, I'll be bundled up in lots of clothes by the look's of the weather. 3 guy's in my boat, I'll be running with 2 guy's in a 2090 Warrior tiller, 125 Merc. we'll be working the break in front of Eddy's all the way around to the casino. I hope to keep a little space between us and everyone else, but you know Mille Lacs on opener!!! Don't get the landing net too high where anyone can see it, you'll get tons of visitors!!!

Have fun, be safe!

Ole#1,

That's a pretty long cruise from the landing by the casino to Malmo, basically from one end of the lake to the other. the landing at malmo is good but shallow, from what everyones been saying the lake is down, that might make it fun at Malmo access since it's kinda shallow there when the lake is at normal levels.

I just bought a 2004 Crestliner Superhawk, Johnson 115. (Gray and White) Picking it up tomorrow morning at 10:00am. Nothing like making a virgin voyage on Mille Lacs.

Beef,
Just make sure the plug is in before you "drop it" in the water.

Hey Beef eater!
You do know that fishing out of a new boat on the opener is bad luck!! You may not catch anything or even get a bite. That is two bad with a nice boat like that. Are you going to be by yourself? How are you going to fish....it may not matter.

That is a nice boat!!

Get the Net!!

Ole #1. Nah, it's a 2 stroke. With everything else I got on it I couldn't afford to pay the extra $2500 for the 4-stroke. It'll do though. Just be a little louder and worse on gas.

My buddy said the same thing. I'll make him remind me.

      My name is HANNA HENRY .I want to give thanks to HAKEEM AHMED for bringing back my ex husband.No one could have ever made me believe that the letter I’m about to write would actually one day be written. I was the world’s biggest skeptic. I never believed in magic spells or anything like this, but I was told by a reliable source (a very close co-worker) that Trust is a very dedicated, gifted, and talented person,It was one of the best things I have ever done. My love life was in shambles; I had been through two divorces and was on the brink of a third. I just couldn’t face another divorce, and I wanted to try harder to make our relationship work, but my husband didn’t seem to care. and he broke up with me again . I was confused and did not know what to do again, rather they got in contact with HAKEEM AHMED. He did a love spell that made my husband come back to me. We are now very much happy with ourselves. HAKEEM AHMED makes him realize how much we love and need each other .This man is for REAL and for good . He can also help you to fix your broken relationship. I had my husband back! It was like a miracle! He suddenly wanted to go to marriage counseling, and we’re doing very, very well , in our love life . contact email [email protected] or text or add him up on whatsApp at: +27788392740 his web page http://astrologerastrology.com

      You'll appreciate having less guys in the boat if you need to drag raps.

      I love pulling lead core but usually don't pull it out until later in the season.  Can you share depth and speed numbers that were working with lead?  Thanks.

      Heading up early Saturday morning. Going to be a short, discombobulated trip this year. Starting with 4 of us but one has to leave to watch his son play in state (WI) baseball tournament on Tuesday. Rest of us are only there until Wednesday. Kind of disappointing but I'm thinking we'll have to make a trip in September as well.    Forecast calls for wind!

      Those are cormorants and they are aggressive fish eaters.  I saw more last weekend than typical on vermilion.  Pretty common  on the east end but I don’t usually see much of any on the west which is where we were.  They eat a lot of fish and surprisingly large fish for their size so they aren’t great for the fish populations.     I can’t believe how fast the water warmed up.  We were seeing up to the high 70’s last weekend.  Typically mid June is mid to upper 60’s.  The Muskies didn’t seem to be too fired up with the quick warm up.  The ones we moved were lazy and would not go in to the turn.  Hopefully some more normal temps this week help.
