Spent a day and a half with some friends working the outside edges of some mud flats. We were greatly rewarded for our efforts with about 50 tulibee. Sizes ranged from 12-16″ with only a couple smaller than that. It is really neat to see your graph light up like a xmas tree every 5-10 minutes as they are just roaming schools.
Down to the details.
Just off the break in the deep was where we found our fish. Like I said they were roaming schools coming about 5-10 minutes apart with in the bottom 8′. Deadsticks with waxies did put some on the ice but most times they would barely wiggle the bobber.
Using a small spoon with euros was the most productive. Sometimes the tulibee wanted to play cat n mouse and other times they would only hit it if it were held totally still. Bites are very lite and I would deffinatley reccomend using a spring bobber. The bite seemed to shut down around 3:30 or so.
4×4 travel over the entire lake is still an option however be cautious for cracks and heaves. Shouldn’t need an extension in a portable but probly do in a wheel house.
Remember the limit for tulibee on Mille Lacs is 10 which is different from the state wide limit.
Looking forward to eating pickled tulibee. 
Good luck, Mark
, it made it tough to stay mobile and keep the holes open.
