First Mille Lacs Trip Ever...Awesome Experience


Mongro02

Recommended Posts

Did not realize there was a Muskie Tournament at Mille Lacs this weekend, and a lot of other activities going on at the Lake. My wife and I decided to run away from the kids for a couple of days...got a babysitter and went up to Mille Lacs Friday night about 8:00 pm. Spur of the Moment thing...nothing planned.

Arrived about 10:45 pm, went to the Casino for about an hour and a half. Decided to go to the hotel to see if they had any rooms. Nothing there, drove to Econo Lodge, no rooms. Drove back to Eddy's Resort, the nice young lady at the counter said they didn't have any rooms, but she took the time to call McQuiod's Inn...2 Whirlpool Rooms avaliable. Gave us directions and we arrived at McQuiod's Inn, checked in. The young lady at the counter said since it was now 12:45 am, regular rates are 129.00 per night for the whirlpool rooms, but she will give it to us for 89.00. Went to our room, I played with the whirlpool for about an hour, since I knew I was not gonna have time the next day...Always wanted to go to a hotel with a whirlpool suite but always too expensive. Next day woke up at 6:00 am called around for some boats to rent...none avaliable...Called Eddy's(no longer rents boats...gave us refferals), McQuiods Inn told us to check with Dickies...2 boats avaliable...she reserved one for us.

Went out on the water...very windy and very high waves. 12:00 pm we went to lunch at Izaty's, Awesome staff and food was good too...very nice people. Went back to Dickie's got in our boat caught 1 walleye (10 inches, 10 2-3 inch perch)--Finally caught a fish. Since I knew nothing about the lake, about 2:30 pm I decided to get a launch...called around not many avaliable. Izaty's and Eddy's were all booked...so we went out on the Dickies launch at 6:00 pm.

No fish but overall an awesome experience.

The purpose of this post is to say "Thank You" to all the nice people who we ran into.

Instead of just saying 'sorry can't help you', they took the time and effort to give us refferals, some even took the time to call for us. I really appreciate it so much...for making what could have been a disatrous weekend, and awesome weekened. Too bad the fish weren't as nice.

After this experience I plan on many many more trips to Mille Lacs, this time with pre-made reservations in the coming fall and winter.

Don't know if any of the above establishments have representatives that post here...but I just have to say Thanks...to the fine folks above.

Once again it shows how well the "Golden Rule" works in business. Many times in these situations, even if I don't use their particular service, I "bookmark" businesses for the future, and to spread the word (as you have). If only all businesses knew how valuble good customer service (golden rule) is to there well-being. Congrat's to all these businesses, and more important, the people behind them. You Get It.

      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.

      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.
