The days are ticking by to the opener. Where do you fish out of? I fish primarily the eastside, dipping the boat in at picard point. Fishing the rocks out front and runs to the north sand. Might catch me at the formica flats at Hunters resort when I get dehydrated and need some good pizza.
Malmo Mike will be fishing in the Fisher Rock pile area in our bay or also on the gravel structures in Agate Bay which is in my knowledge zone as a Malmo resident owner. If I cannot figure them out there, I will head up to Red Door water's and north bars and watch for Bobber!
I will certainly visit Hunter's Point several times for Formica Flat action and to say hello to friends. I keep my boat on the Opener at Castaway's Marina as Steve is my neighbor.
For after fishing, a great dinner is available up at the Pine Inn after I catch a bunch of Jumbo Perch! I will be taking Malmo Mom here for dinner.
That is my story and I am sticking to it. The Malmo folks and Eddie Lyback know that OI am coming into town.

We will be fishing the sand first thing Saturday morning, then on the rocks in front of Wilderness. However, with the early ice out, I might try a little deeper. Malmo Mike, remember our secret spot? That could well be hot!
Hello Dr. O, I will be out there and see you around or near the secret spot. Have fun...we have a huge snow storm in Colorado so I get to blow snow out today! Geezuz. I wish I was kidding!
We will be hitting the east side pretty much, maybe head north and check it out if its not rolling too much. Of course some formica flats action will be in play as well!! Good luck to all!! Enjoy the time you get with your friends and family on the water!!
Good luck to everyone fishing Mille Lacs on opener. I'll be out on a smalll lake around home breaking in my new boat. Thats if the weather cooperates to get the kids out with me.

We went out Saturday for 2 hours and caught 4 fish in the Lakeside reef area. We saw 2 other boats. pretty bumpy and cold. But we fished the 2016 opener on Mille Lacs.
Went out of the North Side by Red Door and fished for 4 hours. Caught 4 missed several (little rusty). 3 of the 4 were over 20" and one 15". Considering wind and cold wasn't too bad. Jig and minnow and rigging with minnow seemed to give us best results.
We had a pretty succesful weekend other than the brutal conditions. Had 65-75 fish with majority in the 18-24 range. "The ones that are not in there". Water temp ranged fron 48.5 - 50.5. I will be back.

Eastsider- i am pretty sure i seen you go out to lakeside reef. Almost had to be you since i didnt see another boat. Was it about 1 saturday? You came out of picard point harbor? 3 in the boat?
Hope you guys & girls got some lines wet and some good fishing time!
I never got my boat in the lake due to a very unexpected and terrible family event. My Mother (Malmo Mom) was in a one vehicle accident on Wed. 5-11-16 on northbound Hwy 47 south of Smokey Hill (Old VFW club) She had facial fractures and injured her back from going off the road sadly. She was medivac'd to North Memorial Trauma center -- so we spent 5 days getting her medical care top priority as well as getting her vehicle home and some initial repairs done.
She is doing much better now but there were no walleyes or jumbos swimming by the hospital! DARN.
Malmo Mike will be back to Mille Lacs ASAP to surround some fish this summer.
I did get up to Bay Lake Marine so there is positive in all of this somewhere!
I had fabulous walleye fingers at the Pine Inn in Glen before we went to the Hospital to see Malmo Mom.
Malmo MIke MM will return and Mom is doing much better. Those will fingers were darn good!
Hope you guys got some legal fish on an alternant or smaller lake. Bay
