I was on Miltona over the weekend and did ok. We fished off the holes by the Landing by Woodlands resort (down the road from the resort). We used jigs and minnows and we caught about 10 eyes that went about 16-20 inches. All of our fish were caught in 12-14 feet of water and not until after 6:00 pm. At about 7:00pm is when all the bobber fisherman come out and there were alot of them and they were also catching fish. Lots of small perch, sunfish also. Good Luck,

I have a cabin on Miltona and fish it alot. The key is to find the deep weed lines and fish right along that edge. The weed lines are all pretty much 17.5-18 feet of water. Early in the summer you will want to move slow and let your bait do the work. Once they move out to the main lake there are some great sunken islands with excellent weed lines that they will be on. If you find the right spot the walleyes will stack up in there especially towards evening. I was up all week last week and just pounded the walleyes. One night I caught 2- 20", a 25", a 28" , and 8 15"-17" eyes. The next night a caught 15 15"-17" eyes. Shiners are my bait of choice and in the summer crawlers. I have really done very good over the last 3 years. The walleye population seems to be doing great! I really enjoy fishing Miltona. Good luck, I'll probably see you there.

WOW! That must have been a blast! If you would have had someone running a video camera you could have made one heck of a fishing show! Congratulations! I've always considered coming to Miltona for a vacation, always seems like you hear of alot of nice fish being caught there! Maybe one of theses years. Continued good luck! L2f

Does anybody have a tip or two on how the muskies are doing or which quadrant of the lake might be best to try? I have yet to catch a musky on any lake and really want to change that.

I'd say get a guide, it is well worth it. My roomate/his parents have a cabin on Miltona. He had always had some luck on the lake with Muskies but nothing compared to how much luck he has since he got a guide to show him some of the hot spots. The guide showed him spots on the lake that he would have never considered and some patterns and lures to go along with those spots. His sucess rate has dramatically improved on the lake. Now I couldn't tell you where to go on the lake because I have only been out a few times with the roomate but I'd say get a guide.
