I keep hearing about the large walleyes being caught on mille lacs right now. I am going up this weekend and wonder what bait to use that gives me the best chance at a lunker?

Most all reports involve the use of two different techniques. A jigging spoon tipped with the head of a fathead minnow and / or larger minnows stuck on a red hook or a glow red jig under tip-ups.
Go Devils are mentioned frequently >>> http://bfishntackle.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=46
Have fun!

January 5, 2007 at 5:57 pm #519057When I was up last week I caught big fish on the flats. During the day I had best luck right up tight to the deep edge of the flat. The steeper the break the better. I punched a lot of holes and stayed on the move away from the crowds. It will be inevitable that the crowd will come to you. I caught fish on Go Devils w/minnow head and shiners under a tip up.
I can’t stress enough to make lots of holes and stay on the move. If you try and wait out the fish and stay in 1 hole you will limit your success immensely.

The last one is the smallest, 25.5.
He just had his arms extended further.
The young man is a Marine who was home visiting his family for the holidays.
These are his two biggest walleyes he’s caught.
