That would be absolutely outstanding!! As was stated earluier though, the rain gear will be packed with the warm weather gear!! Cant wait, hope the next 11 days go fast!!

Adam L · Member

Whoa, that looks pretty good. Even the days leading up to, and after opener look OK so hopefully it doesn't change much.

Doug Ertl · Website Admin

10 mph winds would be fantastic with temps like that and some sun to boot.

what website do you get the extended weather outlook from?

EYECONZ · Member

Weather.com, accuweather.com, noaa.com, weatherbug.com..........they all have it.

I hope this forecast remains, however I can't believe anything more than 24-48 out. It is hard for them to get the next day right let alone over 10 days away, especially with wind "guessing".

The good news is that regardless of weather, I am coming up to fish. That will be a great weekend no matter what!!

No Boats out there bobbering up yet. Wont be long now.

Bobber · Admin / Moderator

I'm hoping for 60-70 deg's with some light winds! With the lake as clean as it is...your going to need some wind to catch any fish shallow. The water is super clear from the Zebra musels so the shallow fish may spook. During a sunset ride last evening....I noticed alot of "green slime" in the shallow water ......need some wave action and clean that stuff up!!! Too early in the summer to see anything like that

Get the rain gear aired out! it always rains on the opener!

mbenson · Member

Speaking of weather, looks like you just rode a good one out, Bobber???

MCallies · Malmo Bay Bomber

Good report Bobber,

We defintiely need some light winds to get 'em in the sand and gravel get a good presentation.

The water is amazingly clear right now. It must be all that good living in Malmo Bay. ~HA ~

still looking pretty good. but who's watching.

Just for the record Bobber. They will be where I think they are.

Finlander · Member

Regardless of weather, the walleyes aren't biting my hook until I get there!

Rickster · Member

It will get changed to a high of 50, cloudy, and a northwest wind at 15-25 with gusts to 35....

You know it will!

huntinfishinmn · Member

So it appears that everyday it changes, so I guess we are due 7 more changes! Either way I am pretty sure all commentors are going to be prepared for whatever Ma Nature has in store. I know I have seen just about everything from snow to 80. I just hope that they are where I think they are!!

Bobber · Admin / Moderator

I'm bad....I'm starting to look at the forecast aleast twice a day now...

Really looking forward to the opener! how about you!

Oh, and I need to make note of the fact! I need to purchase a new fishing license!

Perrrrrch · Member

I admit I will look twice a day till I leave Friday at 10:00am. Be at Hunters Formica Flats by 1:30pm

Doug Ertl · Website Admin

Problem is by Thursday. Friday will have 100% rain with no sun. And Saturdays high will change to 45 with 15-30mph winds and spotty ran showers that turn out to be a complete washout. hmm

Been there, done that. yawn

Oh boy! looks to be pretty nice conditons! I bet Kooty and Grow will have Sharon in a skippy bikkini!!! or very little on??

Hope they keep the "air in her" this year.....

Sutty · Member

I can't make it so I assume it will be beautiful and the walleye will be jumping in the boat.... furious

MCallies · Malmo Bay Bomber

Howdy Bobber and Big D Doug,

Please turn the Opener weather button to nice walleye chop and a fair sky. No rain until the follwoing week. Perfect.

I gotta catch a dang walleye and do NOT wnat to get blown off the big water. It takes 2-3 days for the lake to settle down again. That is my story. I ams ticking to it.

UGH.

Thanks guys, MM

Doug Ertl · Website Admin

5/6 8am Still looking pretty good.

Adam L · Member

Going to be an absolute ZOO out there if the weather is as predicted.....You'll be able to walk, in a straight line, from Fishers to Myr Mar and not get your feet wet.

Fife · Formica Flat Vet

Conditions look ideal!

MCallies · Malmo Bay Bomber

Great looking forecast. MM and Fife will clean up. I got my money on Fife. smile

jwalker · Member

Is this is a dream! man o man - I love it!

MCallies · Malmo Bay Bomber

Great Stuff Doug,

It was beautiful here Thursday night. We are looking fabulous for the Opener.

MM likes it a bunch!!!

PINCH ME!

MCallies · Malmo Bay Bomber

Friday 1:00PM lake report from MM:

I have just come off the lake at 1:00PM and the Malmo Bay to Carlsona area consists of some respectable white caps and a stiff NNWest breeze. The temperature is mild though and we have more and more sunshine as the early afternoon progresses. YEAH. Pretty darn good.

Right now we do not see anothger line of showers although that was forecast earlier.

Water temperature was 52-56 degrees in the areas I cruised with the Malmo Bay Bomber Boat.

It is another day in paradise for the Mille Lacs Lake Opener. The wind today would require a drift sock for fishing ~~ but tomorrow is supposed to be a nice walleye chop.

Come walleyes....some see MM
