So far today we have about 8-10 vehicles out there and so far no reports.  have been getting a lot of calls wondering if we still have a roads.  We have roads to the Tullibee hole, deep mud Perch areas and lots of late season shallower Perch spots.  With the snow cover ,(about a foot) and 32″ of ice we will be out there for quite awhile yet.  I think the snow cover is hindering the bite but not much we can do about that until it thaws.  We’ll keep plugging away………

Keep a Tight Line!

We had five vehicles out yesterday trying and there was not too much luck.  One group found some Perch on the north end of the Banana late in the afternoon.   I opened up a lot of roads in shallower spots for angler’s to try this weekend and will be opening up more areas today.   Might as well get as many areas accessible to see what is going on out there.  Roads are wide enough to park on the side and most places you can pull off.  4WD vehicles can move off the roads if they watch what they are doing.   Weather sounds nice this weekend so we’ll see what happens.

Last evening the wind died enough where the drifting stopped on the lake.  I opened up the main roads  going to the Perch spots and the Tullibee Hole. This afternoon I will be opening up more of the smaller side roads.   If you have 4wd it still isn’t too bad to move around or off the road a little.  Most of the main roads go right to the areas anyways.

The new  fishing regs came out for Mille Lacs yesterday.  I think the  MN DNR is doing the right things to try to get the lake back to the way it should be.  It’s just too bad they waited so long.  They might have discouraged a lot of the anglers from visiting Mille Lacs, only time will tell.  Now if the Bands and GLIFWC will do their part to protect the small Walleyes like Minnesota’s anglers are doing, the lake might have a chance to rebound.  This spring will show us how concerned they are about Mille Lacs  by their actions.

Keep a Tight Line!!
