Bass Panfish lakes near Mille Lacs


Cove

Recommended Posts

I will be up at Mille Lacs this week end but depending on the bite and the seather might want to hit one of the bass / panfish lakes generally west (& SW and NW) of Mille Lacs e.g. Shokapee, Smith, Whitefish, Dog.... Is this the forum that would cover that area? Is there a map anywhere that defines the areas of the forums?

Little Whitefish is great for Largemouth.
can get a few nice gators too.
Crappies are average at best.

Little Whitefish is a great bass lake!
It has some very nice structure!
There are also Walleye in there!
Though finding them may be a bit tricky.

For bass I would work the bay on the northwest end. With tons of natural shorline they can be found all over.

This lake is great for when you get blown off the big lake. They also have live bait at the Resort.

I just went to Smith lake today. did very well. 3 guyes in the boat landed about 30 sunnies and none were any smaller than my hand. got many smaller bass. all in all it was a slow day but lots of action.

Yeah, thanks you guys.
As of tonight the National Weather Service suggests 15 mph norwest to north wind during day Saturday which might be just right for good walleye bite on Mille Lacs or could slip into the "take a pounding" catagory. I just have an itch to fish one of those little lakes anyhow. I fished Whitefish and Smith with Grandparents 40-45 years ago!

BigDar and Mudman,
Is the "little Whitefish" you refer to the Whitefish right by Wigwam Bay? There are a pile of Whitefish lakes in MInnesota, eh?

      My go to lures with lead core have been #5 Shad Raps and #7 Jointed Rapalas.  With Shad Raps I usually start about 2 mph with 85 ft of lead out in 20 ft of water. I usually use a 20 ft mono leader.  With Jointed Rapalas I let out 100ft of lead traveling 2 mph.  I am moving between 20 and 25 ft of water.

      short weekend but going to try to fish this weekend instead of working the whole time. sounds like its going to cool off a bit wonder how that will affect things.

      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.
