8-7 Mille Lacs Deep Diving Crankbait Report

Deep Diving Crankbaits and planer boards continue to produce fish on the big pond. I had the opportunity to fish the entire day on Sunday with a long time friend of mine (Joe). Deep Diving Tail Dancers caught all of our fish and proved once again that this lure fools those elusive big females.

Pictured above is Joe with a very fat 27 incher. This fish put up a great fight and actually went toe to toe with Joe at the boat while we were still trolling.

We worked hard all day and continually checked our lines for debris due an algae bloom. We did not mark a lot of fish and we had to cover a lot of water. Patience was the key and we had a dry spell when we did not catch a fish for over two hours.

Persistence paid off and we ended the day catching 9 fish (16, 18, 20, 23, 24, 24, 25, 25 and 27 inches). It was a great day to be on the water especially when you have the chance to spend it with such a long time good friend.

Not sure when I’m going to be back up there again. Headed to Luddington, MI for 4 days hoping to catch some big kings!

Grifter, I think my basin is drying up , as long as you won’t be up I might have to chime in on your little honey hole . Don’t worry, I’ll put them all back for you, but they may be educated on the tail dancers when you get up there next . Good luck with the salmon. Great report

PS. I like your buddies shirt

When I first looked at the pic, I didn’t realize it wasn’t you. I thought to myself, how can I fish with a packer fan… Such an ugly shirt really deters from the beauty of the fish!! Great report man!!

Thanks everyone for the kind words and I apologize for the ugly shirt that Joe was wearing.

When he took off his jacket in my boat and exposed that Packer shirt, I almost made him swim back to the landing but I decided against it because I wanted to troll with another line!

To set the record straight, I’m a Viking fan. Always have been and always will be. However, I did go to Lambeau Field last year and watched the Packers. We were able to scalp some tickets for $40 over face value – 49 yard line – 7 rows back. It was a great game and there were a lot of packer fans. Come to think of it, it was a playofff game that some of you may remember and the other team they played wore purple and white kicked their axx.

That was a fun day in Green Bay and I can’t wait to back there again this year!!!
