Well I made a late game day decision to head to Mille Lacs yesterday afternoon, I figured with championship football on I would have some areas to myself to fish walleyes on shallower structure. I targeted a rock pile that had some deeper water close by which I hoped these fish were cruzing looking for a slender spoon meal.
I set up with holes drilled from 24 feet up to 18 feet at about 4 pm, at 430 my first of 4 walleyes came in and smoked the 1/8th gold/green slender spoon. After a quick photo this 23″ I am guessing was released. As I moved shallower into the 18 foot mark I agressively jigged the slender spoon up 4-5 foot just to call these fish in. Well it didn’t take long as this 27″ inhaled the spoon, I called it a night after this fish, made a great afternoon of fun on a short trip notice.
Sorry about the fuzzy picture, IDOer Charles Schmidtbauer came over to help me land this fish and photo.
