Mile Lacs Friday Night

Who’s gonna hit the Big Pond on Friday night??
Hopefully the weather isn’t nasty!!
Hope to chat with a few of you if you make it!
Good Luck!

I’ll be there and listening in on Channel IDA – 82.

I’ll be there! Fri-the following Sun. That’s right 9 full days on the pond! I may take a day off and build a few stands…maybe.

BIRDDOG

I plan to be.
tho my partner canceled on me this AM.I have someone else who was enquirring so….
Looks like the winds should be fairly light.
Probably be on the east side.

I will be up with a friend, where you guys fishing?

Leaving later for the cabin until early next week. Home foe a day or two to do chores around here, and then back until????..the next day of chores.

Drove by last Sunday evening and the Isle landing was empty at 7:30pm. Talked to a couple guys in a big Ranger rig & said they had one fish in five hours. So,…does a guy need to wait for the next full moon to catch some eyes or did these guys just have a bad day? I’d like to get up there and try it but I’ve not done any night fall fishing up there.

Thanks,
Pete

You don’t need the full moon to catch fish in the fall.

I’ve had better nights without a full moon than with.

Look for shoreline with lights on it and you’ll find fish on dark nights.

OH oh!!!!
Mille Lacs is in trouble now!!!!
All three chapman brothers on the lake at one time!!!!
Be up around 5:30.
Probably East side.

Did better on the nights without the full moon than I did on the full moon last year. I think when they are there, they are there no matter what!
I’m gonna be on the W/SW side since everybody else is going to be on the east side!
Talk to you boys Friday night!

But your going to miss the party

I will be up guiding Friday and Saturday this weekend. I should be up for some of the IDA Filming on the 1st through the 3rd. And then the 6th through the 15th. I am booked for the week with my only opening Sunday the 8th. See y’all up there! Sounds like a warm front coming!

Question for you experienced fall night trollers…

Let say you come up out of deep(er) water and top out at 6-8 feet aways off shore (anywhere between 1/4 mile and 1/2 mile) and that the depth stays pretty consitent/gently levels off between that point and shore. In general, have you found that the fish tend stay somewhat close top of the break (to have quick access to deeper water) or are they not afraid to roam this vast “flat” on a search and destroy mission looking for food.

Thanks,

Jim
