Good morning from Mille Lacs

Just wanted to say good morning from the lake. Sounds like a lot f people are out fishing all ready this morning. TBO, Rootksi and I are on the rocks in front of Fishers resort this morning. Not a lot of action going on yet. 1 pout and missed 4 other bites.
Looks like good weather today. It is about 5 out right now with mild winds. The wind blew pretty good last night and I am glad to see that gone.
We will most likely be heading for Hunters around noon today. Hope to see you guys there.

Good morning, Mike! See ya tomorrow. Can’t wait to hit the road.

Send Rootski for some beer, I’ll bet they start biting then!

Just talked to Dman, him, Bobber, BrianK & Shrumy are out on Schultz and doing alright.

Just talked to a buddy who said his old man is up there right now and has a 17″ walleye in the bucket already this morning. We are heading up after work today. It’s going to be a long day.

Even if the fish aren’t biting at least your outside not trapped in an office at work. Keep the reports coming from the lake! I hope everyone has a good time!

i know I will be watching hunters web cam tonight while I am stuck at work hopefully I can find a place to crash and then I will be up there tommorow morning

Me and Monica are heading up tonight!!! Hopefully I can track you guys down. Did you rent a shack at fishers???? I am staying at the warf up on shore at a buddys shack. Theres a nasty crack running west from big point that we might have to wait till am to check out but if we get some gps cords for the bridge I might run the wheeler over tonight when we get there!!!

TELL TBO HELLO…HOPE TO SEE HIM THIS WEEKEND

Goodmorning/afternoon back at you Mike,
We will be rolling in tomorrow morning between 4 and 6 a.m. hope to see alot of you guys up there.. Good time to finally meet and see each other face to face…

I’ll be heading up to Hunter’s Saturday morning, my shack is sitting
near Picard(sp) on about 23-25 feet of water. We didn’t do very good last weekend on this spot and was wondering if anyone would care to share what depth of water that has been working for them. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the update Mike.
Sure wish I could’ve joined you all. I’ve been on air for 7 hours a day all week, basically 10-11 hr days. the good news is I heard today two more staffers are supposed to joining the team, maybe as early as next week
Sat hi to Steve and Joe, and catch a bunch

Wasn’t on Picard, but thats the depth I was at. The fish were 4-5 feet off the bottom. Good Luck !!!

Over at Hunters now. Its about 5pm. Goerge has us set up in a real nice house. TBO just pulled the 1st eye threw the hole. Good to see some of you guys this afternoon.

Hopefully this is the 1st of a few photos from the weekend.

6:20pm and Rootski scores.

Come on…..grab them lip’s on that bass!! Rock Bass that is!!

It looks like Joe is having way to much fun up there. Tell him to control his enthusiasm when he’s getting his picture taken.

Ok.. thanks for the reply big g

Hey Rootski….atleast it’s not a sheephead!

Thanks for the report, was wondering how it was going up there? Anyone hear how “sausage fingers” is doing? Is he even fishing???

Have fun guys, looks like there’s some dandy fish being caught!

Dandy Rock bass Rootski! Looks like that house is going to have some stories with Mike, Rootski and Joe!

Joe and Steve picked up a couple more last night. A 25″ 23″ and a 19″. Didnt get any photos of these.

Guess they did get some photos of these. I think these where taken on set lines last night.

There was a good crowd for the prize drawings today. Brats and hotdogs where great and realy hit the spot. A big thumbs up for the companies that donated prizes.

Here is Steves fish from last night.

I was there today and we all had a great time and finally met some of you in person which was a real treat. Did not win any prizes but wow those were some nice prizes donated. The prizes were given by alot if not all the same sponsors behind IDO… AGAIN SPONSORS THANKS ALOT FOR ALL YOU ARE DOING FOR US ON IDA/IDO…
These guys are awesome….

Nice walleye there Rootski!

I was hoping to catch up with you guys sometime but we ended up out on the lake all day saturday. Monica and I stopped over at Hunters for breakfast and we found Brian and was able to meet Bobber. Good to meet you Bob ! We didnt get back till after 8pm and by the time we ate dinner she was bed time.

We did end up with a limit sat of nice 16-19 inchers and Monica wooped me on the big fish. I had two buddies who were out there with us and they were 1 fish short of there limit the last time I talked to them. 1/8 oz spoons took all the legals. Every fish that hit the bobbers were slot fish. It was the 1st time I had seen that. We had a few in the slot but over half the fish were legal eaters 3:30-6pm right on top of the flats (23-25 fow). The base of the flats were holding some perch and small eyes but the tops were alot more active!

Here is Monica with a nice fish in the slot(26″) Almost won her 5 bucks but one of the other guys ended up with a 27″ both the big ones hit a fathead under the bobber. Hope to see them again in a couple years

Great Fish!

Nice fish Joe and company. Sounds like you folks got into them. Must of been pitching the right colors.
