MY FRIEND AND I ARE HEADING UP TO MILACS IN THE MIDDLE OF JUNE. THIS WILL BE OR 2ND YEAR GOING UP. WE FISHED LAST YEAR IN THE SOUTH END AND FOR THREE DAYS WE SPENT OUR TIME IN THE BEUTIFUL MILACS CASINO DUE TO WEATHER ISSUES. OUR ISSUE WAS NOT WANTING TO DIE IN WHAT TO SEEMED TO BE 6FT WAVES 20FT OFF SHORE,BUT WE DID SPEND ABOUT 5 HOURS OF PURE FISHING HORRER. WE ARE GOING UP TO THE SAME AREA THIS YEAR AND WHOULD APPRECIATE SOME SUGGESTION ON WERE TO FISH IN THAT AREA. LATELY I HAVE BEEN READING THAT MILACS HAS TURNED INTO A BOBBER LAKE FOR EYES. ANY SYMPATHETIC ADVISE WHOULD BE VERY APRECIATED.

Go to sloppy Joes on the south west side. There will be quite a few boats there so it will be easy to find without a gps and it's easy to fish. If you drift with live bait rigs or pull spinners you can make long runs due to the size of the reef or find a little hump and bobber. There will not be a whole lot of depth change so 1-2 feet is a hump. Mid June is when the spinner and crawler bite usually gets good. Good luck. grin.gif

If you are staying on the west side near the casino, the first spot I would try would be that gravel bar off of Indian point about a quarter mile. That's a great spot for a bouncer/blade bite. From there, Sloppy's is good and easy to fish. Also if it is nice and you can run and gun a little bit, the Highway and 4 and 5 mile might be worth a try. Also, don't forget about the mud. It may be a bit too early for it, but it all depends upon the weather that we have. 7 and 8 mile (seguchie)- are fairly close to where you are staying and I would give them a try as well. I think the bigger fish are out at the mud earlier than most the other ones anyway.

Good Luck and let us know how you do. grin.gif

Mid June on Mille lacs is a great time of year to fish the lake. This time of year I would either stick to the mud flats or the gravel. Fish near the edges and you should catch fish. If you are fishing from a smaller boat and wind is a factor try fishing some of the shallow rocks in that area. Indian pt, Rocky reef, and Anderson's reef are all good spots that hold fish. Good luck to ya!

      Very low, probably 2 feet lower than last year at ice out.

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
