We only make it up once a year for the most part but we had a pretty good morning on the 19th. We pulled rigs all day Friday near Isle and only had 2 fish around 12 inches.

I'm going up to fish Mille Lacs in a couple weeks, really looking forward to it. I've fished plenty of different lakes in MN, but never here yet.

I'm staying at a cabin on the south end of the lake, Cove Bay. Looks like mostly rock piles and some sunken islands in the immediate area. Early July, is this still fishy water, or do I want to go North and find the mud flats? Leeches and crawlers?

I spent HOURS on the lake yesterday, watching walleyes on my graph and not getting one turn of the head. (you'ld have thought we should have at least snagged one or two, we were marking so many fish.) Then........... at 8:47 pm, it was like somebody threw the switch and we got an hour of CATCHING. Depend...

The bite has definitely improved since I was out last. We were able to boat these hogs and a half dozen others in a couple hours. We had mostly small fish again with one going in the box. There's no question that the fish we have caught are healthy.
