This is great….

Thanks Guys.

I think your guide service just got a new customer.

Well the reason I bring this up is becasue many of the rocks I fish I have spots that produce 10-1.

Example: I have one spot that I fish a lot, marked on my gps. I anchor in for the most part the same spot and the same way. If I cast to the N, S, or E, I catch fish. If I cast to the W I slay them. Not everytime but more than enough to keep me focusing on that area. My electronics aren’t good enough to pick up transitions or I don’t know how to read it. So not exactly sure what is going on down there.

My goal is to figure out why the fish are focused in on this one area and then try to identicate it in other areas.

I kid you not. Three times last summer our bobbers where going down as fast as they hit the water in one spot. In these other directions off the boat fish were being caught at a much slower pace. one night there were three of us and it got to the point that we were all casting to the same spot. Wow was that a fun night.

As for Mille Lacs, the transition is pretty much 27-28′ most everywhere you go on the lake. Thats transition from hard bottom (sand, gravel, rock) to mud. There are some exceptions where you will find hard bottom below that depth, but rule of thumb is 27-28′.

Great replies..I love this site already. Seems like there is a lot of Mille Lacs guys on here so i’ll stay on that subject.

As you stated above about the 27 – 28 fow areas. You say that is a common depth that there would be a transition area. What about rocks? I fish a couple areas that top off at 8 – 10 feet and drop all around it. What about the transition from rock to sand/gravel. Would you rather focus on that transition or is it better to stay on top of these rocks. I personally prefer the edge but what do you all think?

I need a new locator. mine is garbage!

First post indeed…I frequent a few other forums (www.fishingminnesota.com & http://www.lakestatefishing.com) but i just found this one.

Seems nice…I’ll have to add this to the list of site I check EVERYDAY

Thanks for the replies so far…look forward to more!!

I can’t wait until May!
