Fishing Report 2/14/07

[The Cranker]

Hello everyone,

Still some really big fish are being caught throughout the lake. Although a few people are getting some limits, there seems to be not a lot of numbers, but some really nice size trophy's being caught, which has been exciting!. Walleyes are being caught in all depths. In the shallow rocks, deep mud and on top of the mud or gravel on shiners, fatheads, rainbows and even waxies or larva on a jiggin spoon has worked best! Set lines, and Jingle(rattle) reels along with jiggin has been the method that has been working.

Perch have still been on one day, and off the next. Not much consistancy with the Jumbos! I did get one report of a couple of fisherman who did well on perch in 32ft of water. A nice pail of Jumbo's! Fisherman and Fisherwomen are seeing a lot of Jumbo perch on the camara, but they seem pretty content on the lakes surplus of forage for food. Most of the perch caught are on minnow heads, larva and worms. Staying mobile will increase your chances finding active perch. Some perch caught have been up to 14 inches!!! Can you say; JUMBO!!!

There is a Mille Lacs Lake open tourney the weekend of the Feb 17th. Nitti's Hunters Point is having a Eel Pout and Perch Contest. Cash prizes along with door prizes. Again, this is a tourney open to the whole lake starting at 7am till 2pm sharp! All fish must be weighed at Hunters Point and must be alive! Call Hunters Point Resort and ask for George Nitti and tell'em "The Cranker" sent you! Buttons are only $10.00 to enter.

The Perch Extravaganza sponsored by Johnson's Portside Bait, is on the 24th of February at Nitti's Hunters Point this year! If your coming up for this fishing event or just coming up to try your last chance this year to catch a wall hanger walleye and need a place to stay on Mille Lacs,contact your favorite resort and make your reservations today before they are all taken!

I cannot believe that the year is coming to a close. Only two weekends left!

Happy Valentines Day!

Fish On!!!
