Looking for 3 guys that want troll the basin for Skis on Sunday.
I have a mast and boards, just need some guys in the boat to run 4 rods.
Bring a few baits you would like to try. I have enough rods.
Planning on leaving north metro at 5:00AM, fishing until at least 6:00PM.
Chip in on gas if you want, I am going regardless.
PM me if you are interested.
Not nice Larson! 
I’ve been wanting to do that!!!
Let’s plan another day! 
Good luck Dan, I hope you get a monster!!
Dan:
If I didn’t have to work on Sunday night and then have family in town from now until then, I’d be in!!! Really Sorry I can’t help…

FYI- I have been marking TONS of tulibee on the flats. Some that come to mind right now are Center bar, 8 mi, horse shoe and ericksons srcret spot.
Many of the flats are so covered with tulies it will make you think your graph is broken. Consequently we have been seeing HUGE single arcs here and there down about 15-20′. Our consensus is that these are most likely skis out eating on tuli.
The tuli action on the top water really picks up in the last few hours of light with lots of surfacing.
Good luck boys, they are out there. Also be aware that is it is dead flat calm the little tiny bugs are annoying as all get out so do bring light pants, long sleve shirt and hat. Also it might look stupid but a mosquito head net will save your sanity. Haha

Your retired right? 
So we did it, we went out and trolled for nothing but Skis for 12 hours on Sunday. Results? 2 walleyes, a 27″ that ate a Firetiger Triple D, and a 24″ that at a Black and Chrome Ernie. I could only wrangle the support of one hearty soul, “tomr” from here on the site.
It’s always fun fishing with new folks, and Tom was no exception. Despite the minimal activity on the lines, and the “surface of the sun” heat, Tom kept us in good spirits with some great tales of hunting and fishing trips past; exploits both on and off the field\water. If you ever get a chance to share some time in the boat with Tom be sure to ask about his adventures around Thief Lake… My stomach hurts today from laughing.
We fished primarily on and around the flats; 7 Mile, 8 Mile, 9 Mile, Center Bar, Needle, Greg’s, Fisher, Boot, Sliver, and Midget\Saddle. Baits stayed in the water as we went from flat to flat, hoping we would stumble across roaming schools of silver sandwiches. Unfortunately we never marked anything that could be considered noteworthy as far as baitfish, and not one arc more than 2 feet off the bottom.
Perhaps it was the high skies and flat water, or the water temp shift of 71 in the morning to 83 by 6:00 in the evening, but the fish just didn’t cooperate.
This won’t be the last time I try to do this for the year, however I do plan on picking a day with more angler friendly weather next time.
Stay tuned, I will post the open seats invite again in this forum soon.
As a side note, something burned up on the West side of the lake, north of the Casino. Black smoke for a solid hour in the morning.
Dan:
Great effort, too bad one toothy didn’t want to cooperate for ya. Sunday is the best day for me once the weekend traffic slows here in Minocqua, would love to try to get there!!!
