I only took a pic of 1 fish. It was a 27.5″. There were no real big ones that I felt deserved a picture. Plus I was by myself most nights, so it isn’t as easy to snap a good pic. Only the fish on the ruler shot which I find boring. But I will get the one uploaded soon.
I was the black and red Tuffy. That got unpleasent for a while out there, but the fishing made it worth it!
Both rocks and weeds produced equally all week (11/6 through 11/10.) Overall over 200 fish. Noticed that there were more small fish in Nov. full moon then Oct. Only three over 27, one at 28 and bunch of smaller fish with many keeper sized fish. Speeds .8-1.2 mph with huskys and rogues. Water temp 46 deg. at first and down to 42 deg. The two flat calm nights were the slowest. On those nights casting VERY shallow with stickbaits produced the best bite.
Gonna go back up 10/17 for a night. Then I will be up there from 10/30 thru 11/3. I can’t wait!!
Thanks for the welcome Deertracker and lip ripper!!

Got ahold of my friend that Fishes Smallies on Mille Lacs told me this evening that last Saturday
Sept 26, surface was 64F
Yesterday
Oct 5, surface was 53f-11 degrees in 8-days, now can we say turnover?
Actually Mille Lacs doesn’t set up a solid thermocline due to the wind and lack of depth compared to area. So in turn there is no turn-over period. Not to be nit picky just an FYI. What is true is the Fall Bite has begun read my trolling report from 10-2 thru 10-6.
