    Nasty wind today. Caught some more 14 to 16s trolling until the wind kicked us off by noon. Bobber fished off the dock with a glass of whiskey all afternoon and cuaght a mixed group of smallies, walleye, and rock bass. Been a fun trip so far. Looking to get after it tomorrow with the nice weather.

    First timer up on Mille Lacs as we speak. Wind is nasty today, but pulled cranks in 10 to 16 ft on west end and boated 30 to 40 eyes all between 15in and 21in with one at 24in. Pull cranks from 10am to 4pm.

    All perfect eaters. We are from Nebraska and disappointed we can not keep a few for some meals this week but are having a blast so far. Got into a few 17 in smallies earlier pitching jigs.

    How deep can we slip bobber successfully when the wind dies and we can head out? 20ft?

    Ill keep an updated all week.

    Walleyestudent,

    Thanks for the reply and info.

    My whole family (12 of us) will be staying by Terry’s Boat Harbor on the west side. We rented a house for the week. Ages range from 65 to 2 years old. This week I usually head to LOTW in Ontario and are always fishing rocks, gravel, humps, or sand, but from all the research I have done, the mud flats sound like the trickiest to fish and something new for me when targeting walleyes. I have fished big flats on the Missori River in South Dakota, but it seems the walleyes on the flats in Mille Lacs can spook easy.

    I am really looking forward to slip bobber fishing with my sons and nephews as well. Any known or good areas on the west side of the lake that could be good for that?

    Thanks!

    Newbie to the lake and heading up next week. What is the best way to fish the mud flats? Are you staying on top? Edges? Just keeping moving until you locate fish? Some of the flats are pretty big that I have looked at on the maps and just trying to get an idea of how I want to attack the lake next week!

    Any info would be awesome. I am really looking forward trying this lake for mainly walleyes, but will go after smallies, pike,and even musky.

    Thanks!
