You can also just use planner boards with spending too much!! Thats how I started fishing the big pond, I just used those clip on planner boards with stick baits and caught fish around Two Harbors when water temps get into 40’s it can be good around there!! And I agree with above statements too, depends on how much you want to spend and do with boat??

This guy is good too!! by Stillwater area http://www.getboatrepair.com

i just brough boat back for the year running out of weekends!! cant wait till next year.

well no one else fishing the big lake i guess?? no need to give more reports or check this part of web site!! lol

I know I think I did troll to fast!! I did mark fish deep, I should have tired something else. Not much of a great walleye fisherman, unless on the St. Croix!! Not sure if try again this year. I did ask for some tips last week b4 I went, but no replies. I know if I would have gone out later slipp bobbing I would have cught some, but at that time wife wanted to go. Thanks anyways

Hey thanks!! I might go up this weekend 15th & 16th if weather permits, let you know if i do

Hey, I thinking about going up this weekend with wife and kids. staying at southwest side of the lake. I have never fished Mille Lacs b4 so anyone got any spots to try and what to try for a new comer?? something easy I hope will work, such and trolling or slip bobbering?? Thanks for any info

I think its a water snake!!

when i first started fishing the big lake I started out in a 1650 explorer. My brother made me stainless steel moutning bar, worked great, and also had rod holer on it too. I used the cannon maunal downriggers, and mounted them on the edge of bar and got the telescope type so i could adjust the arm to fit the boat and with swivel mounts too!! I mounted it to the raised deck in the back of boat and that way i could remove easliy also. They might make something out ther to to fit boat. Not usre if this helps you out or not?

Thats what me and the wife want to do too, when kids get older!! I think be great to live on boat year round, and no yard work either!!!!

just go to add that you want it in and click on “post” on the top on page and go from there

I got 4 of these reels, and use for lake trout trolling on lake Superior, they are ok, had one had problems with, but sent it back and they sent me out a new one, since then no problems, but I will be upgrading to Daiwia reels in future. But all in all they are not bad!

Its hard to lose anyone in family or freinds, even harder when comes to parents. Just remember, as I do all the things you have done together and your childhood, and you will see him again!! My thoughts go out to you and your family.

Are you renting a house? I would like to rent house for the weekend with wife and kids.

Any body!! No idea’s??

I hear ya!! I fell in love with the big lake after first time out there!! It’s like your in a different state. Water is clear enough to see down 20 feet, it’s also kind a eairy feeling out there too when out 10-20 miles from shore and all you see if water!! Any yes fish are great smoked!!

Well went up this weekend again. Saturday was way too rough for us!! Went out and turned around and came back in. Sunday went out of Superior entry, went out 10 miles and started, caught one laker and missed another, well had to the baot about 10 feet behind and got off!! Caught in about 80 feet of water both one was right on bottom line linning and other about 50 feet down.

Well, went out of 2 habors Monday and we caught 9 lakers and one coho, there was 5 of us but it was a fun day. Went out about 10 til 5pm, water temp about 40 degrees.

Me and the kid went out at Prescott Sautrday, from 10 to 2 caught 9 sauger/walleyes, jig and minnow, along the docks, missed more than we caught. Cold windy but fun!!

caught a limilt of saugers today, not huge ones, but eaters, jig and minnow!!

You have to go to the city hall, its up by the police deptment now!! Only open during the week though

This will be my 3rd year fishing the big lake. By no means makes me a expert on the lake, but I really enjoy it alot. I fish it every weekend druing the summer that I can. I have only fished lake Michigan one time, but sure same fishing lures, speeds, etc are the same. Temp. is probably only thing really different between the two lakes, being the lake Superior doesnt get as warm as Michigan. I have fished Superior from the harbor to Two Harbors and done good both places. Depending on which way wind is from tells me where to fish that day. By the port of Superior you can catch cocho, walleye, lake trout, right by the breaker way in the spring, later in year go out from there about 10 miles look for the mud line and we catch nice lakers there too. Two Harbors we have caught laker and coho from just surface fishing to downriggering, again depending on temps. So I would tell him its very much the same as fishing lake Michigan, might not be as big of fish just becasue water temps cooler, but sure is closer!! Good luck
