No problem, just a suggestion, as I have never fished the lake. If a guide would be an option, it would be a great way to learn a little about the fishing before you go out on your own. If that isn’t really an option for you, you may get someone to give out some info, but the guys in the know might be tight lipped if they are fishing tournements there still. Also, check out the reports for Mille Lacs, Lip Ripper usually has a weekly report here that is quite good and will give you some info???
Good Luck, hope to see pics of a big one soon!!
