Well its seems like forever since I have been able to get back up to the “pond”.
I had an open seat, posted it and had no takers so I went alone.
I fished hard at first, working my usual spots. I had a dozen or so in the boat in a couple hours. I caught most of these on 3.5 inch tubes. Color did not seem to matter as much as letting the bait sit still for what seemed like an eternity. Line watching was a must for this type of fishing. The slightest twitch or movement and you need to set the hook fast and hard.
Then I started thinking what a great chance this was to find some other areas and not waste anybody else’s time on the water. I am always curious about finding other areas to fish as the wind on Mille Lacs can and will predict were one fishes. The last thing you want is to fish the windy side because you lose feel with plastics and when in 10 feet of water or less with large rocks things can get ugly in a hurry if something goes wrong.
I found a lot of new water that looked promising and even found some fish that James and Blue did not catch. My total for the day was 21 smallie, biggest was 20.25, and even one walleye, a 16 incher. The walleye was caught on a 5 inch plastic worm. I caught bass on other baits as well senkos, worms, spinnerbaits and zara spook jr.
I took one picture of a Loon and her babies and then my camera decided to stop working. So no pictures
