Good luck guys heading up tomorrow night but here is a little report from Saurday and Wednesday this week.
My uncle and I went up Saturday (24TH) night fished 7:30PM to 1:30AM and boated 23 eyes and 8 for the box. Was an exceptional night for eaters however we did get a few in the 22″ to 25″ range. Firetiger was the hot bait for the night at 1.5 to 1.8 mph in 6 to 8 fow. With the fishing this good and Wednesday (28th) warm weather and calm winds I had to get back up there and was not disapointed for doing so. My uncle and I boated 24 eyes this night with 6 in the box. This was an exceptional night for the ladies. We had troubles getting box fish but we had several fish in the 21″ to 26″ range to keep us busy for the night. Since we did well with the firetiger Saturday night we started with them and stayed with it the entire night. They were just hammering them. Again we were trolling at 1.5 to 1.8 in 6 to 8 fow.
Going to head up tomorrow for the night and get warmed up for next weekend when it could even get better.
October full moon going to be good thei year.
Good luck and be safe out there

What lake were you fishing Walleye1992? Chomping at the bit to hit Mille Lacs now for some pigs. But I have to get ready for a week in the woods deer hunting nest week. Was up Mille Lacs last weekend and did well. I know there going to hammer them up there this weekend. Well maybe I’ll press my luck and head up tomorrow night. This is awesome weather for October and very hard to pass up. Well I’m cooking and eating my catch from last weekend. Good luck on the water. Be safe waters cold this time of year.

Fish509 I’ll try to get up there in the afternoon. I’m new to the site and can’t believe all the chatter for trolling on Mille lacs Lake. I can’t wait to get up there tomorrow afternoon and prepare for the night. Sounds like tomorrow night will be the better of the two. Full moon 50 degree water man it’s going to be good. Feel sorry for those that have already put the boat away their going to miss something special.
Good luck on the water. Be safe out there PFD boys.

Yes I’ll be heading up Friday afternoon to get set up for 2 nights of hunting for the big gals. I’m going to try the south end as well Friday night. Fished there the 25th Sept and 2nd of Oct and did well with eaters and few hogs to get the blood pumping. Also fished the hawkbill area the 9th and did very well. I think fishing will be hot all over the lake. Water temps may dip to the upper 40’s with any luck. Firetiger was truely the hot rap for me. Well 1 more day of work and it’s Mille Lacs bound.
Good luck be safe. See ya on the water with any luck.
Full moon on Mille Lacs it doesn’t get any better than that.

Can’ wait myself. Trying to decide where to stay. What does the RED DOOR get for a room. With everybody going up there is the marina big enough???? I’ll be up there if I have to sleep in the truck . Good luck to all be safe see ya on the water I hope.
Wondering if anybody been down south around 1/2 moon on the rocks?

Yes it is an awesome tool, always look at it before I head up.Try mnlakecams.com also has live footage from a few spots on the Mille Lacs Lake. Like from Hawkbill Reef,Chapmans and Hunters. Looks like this weekend going to shape up pretty nice if all holds. Going to head up Friday for a couple nights of night trolling. Can’t wait.
Good luck and be safe.

Nice report Mike. What kind of speed were they looking for and what was the hot bait? Going to be up there next week Friday and Saturday night. I can’t wait looks like it shaping up and at just the right time with the full moon next weekend. Thanks for the post.
I’m chomping at the bit, going to be a long week.

WISHIN I WAS FISHIN

Really it’s about time should get the hook out now why prolong it . Tuff job but the money they pay him should have better results by now. Great BSer but that don’t put WINS on the board.

You should be OK on the NW side around Garrison. Weeds should start to lay down a little so you can troll over and the out side edge. I would hope with the full moon comming next weekend fishing will be GOOD. I’ll be out there myself. Have to see what the winds are going to do and from what diection to start a plan.

Good Luck Fish-4-eyes
