Really, nobody?

I have fished Mud (Quamba) a few times. It has some nice northerns, and a few walleyes and crappies. Never really did all that well out there, but I have heard of some good fishing there. Ann lake used to be good, but I haven't been there for a while either.

I fished Mud (Quamba) last year a handful of times and didn't do that good. Some of the fish we did catch were nice size but hard to locate.

It is a wierd lake. Not much for structure and shallow. There is a little "sharp" break on the east side (goes from 7' to 10') that I have found fish on. It ain't much, but then there ain't much out there to focus the fish.

I was a little late to reading the disappointing news. The GF and I fished mud both saturday and sunday without much luck. Fished in about 7 FOW between 1 and 2ft off the bottom using waxxies. Just a few sunnies and some very small perch. Not much excitement at all. I would have gone in search of more fish but the hand auger in 14 inches of ice kind of detered me from that.

DZ- do you have a place up this way that you go to often? It seems a bit of a drive from Rochester with a lot of great lakes to drive past to get there. If you get up here a lot, try Grindstone, Pokegama, Rush, Ann, Fish, Knife, or a whole slug of different lakes close to Quamba. Don't give up on Mud, either. It can produce at times, but with a hand auger finding the breaklines can be tough. Keep in touch

Yeah, the fishing is definetly better closer to home. The GF has got a cabin on Mud and it was the first time for me to be up there and she doesn't fish at all so I thought we would give it a shot. I prolly wont be able to make up back up there until the lake is thawed. But if I do, I doubt I will be tring mud again. It will most likely be one of the lakes you suggested. Would I have been better off with crappie minnow's or was waxxie's our best bet? Which bait shop do use use up around there. We went to Gerry's in Mora and the guy didn't seem the most informative to us but treated the locals great.

I drove across the lake on my way home from work last night and was disgusted. I drove by a fishing spot where someone had left broken beer bottles, pop cans, bag of chips, minnow bag, cigarette butts, jig packaging, and a crappie laying on the ice. All I can say is what a disrespectful and downright dumb thing to do. I picked up the trash in about two minutes, not hard to do. Why break all the beer bottles other then to cause someone an injury or flat tire? I think these kind of people should be banned from fishing/hunting. I wish I could have caught them in the act. I feel a bit better after this venting.

Thanks for pitching in and help keeping our resources free of debris and trash. It amazes me at how many call themselves fishermen and then can't take a second and gatehr the trash and put it in a bag!! Here is a thought throw it in your house and clean it out when you get home very easy to do .......THANK YOU for doing your part..the good guys sometimes have to do a little extra work to keep things natural and clean the way we enjoy our lakes!!!

How is the ice up there? I have one more chance to get up there before it is all gone so if it is still good enough I might give Mud another try.

Also, we will be up there all week so if anyone will be fishing up there during the week and wants some company I would like to hook up and trade some story's (not that I have many).

Can't say anything about Mud specifically, but we noticed people were still driving on Ann on our way back from Mille Lacs. The access' are starting to get pretty wet out there. Not going to be much vehicle travel left. Sounded like Lybacks is done driving as of today.
