3rd Annual Mille Lacs Fall Frenzy - Oct 9th, 10th, and 11th.

[Fishin Dan]

Any spots still open? Me and my cousin were thinking about coming up if anyone has a couple open seats?

[harvey lee]

Yep, you can have the big eye seat Steve. I'll catch the smaller ones and a ski or two.

[S.D. Ice Angular]

Paul,

Do I need to RSVP with a Credit Card or something??

[harvey lee]

For anyone who could make this, it will be a great time. Paul is always on his game and the fishing should be good.

Heck, Northlander is coming so he can tell us all how and where to catch the big pigs.

[Paul Waldowski]

S.D.,

Call me here at the resort and we can get you all set up.

[Paul Waldowski]

Fishin Dan,

Not sure yet about open seats. I will see what we can get figured out.

Thats funny! I have no clue on Mille Lacs and wont even pretend to know what Im doing there. I do however have a lot of toys to play with.

Harvey Lee Im not a big Muskie guy. I cant toss a bait with a baitcaster to save my life. Ill bring a big spinning rod if you want to chase them devils a bit though.

[Northlander]

So Paul whats the word on the bite down there? Im getting the itch BAD!

[PerchJerker]

I'm not Paul, but I have a bit of an answer on the bite ......

From what I've heard the shallow trolling bite has not really kicked in yet ....... which is not surprising given what the water temps have been. However, the cold front and strong winds and rains the last few days have dropped the lake temperature a lot and it's to the point now where the bite should start kicking in. I'm really optimistic that the fall trolling bite will be going strong by the time of the Fall Frenzy.

I haven't tried the night bite on Mille Lacs yet this fall but am hoping to get out there one day this weekend. If I do I'll report back.

[Northlander]

Thanks Perchkerker.

[harvey lee]

With all the rain and cooler temps, the bite should be very good Steve. We just need to wait another few weeks.

[MuleShack]

according to the water temp chart the lake is at 55 deg right now. It has been going down 2 degr per day over the last 4 or 5 days. Should be near that magical 50 deg mark early next week which could flip the switch.

[harvey lee]

[Eric Wettschreck]

Rain and cold temps......it's the best combo for getting the awesome fall bite going.

I'm jealous of yous guys. Have a good time and lets see the pictures!!!!

[Paul Waldowski]

Current Temp is hovering right around the 52 degree mark. With the Current Forecast for the next week, it will be at the 50 degree mark for the Frenzy.

We are starting to see perch moving in and onto the rocks. I will know more after tonight's launch trip.

[S.D. Ice Angular]

harvey lee,

You going to bring any of them "Outdoor Pro Series LED Ice Fishing Lights" with you so we can see and/or purchase??

[harvey lee]

I sure can.

Looks like the weather will be ok. Winds at 2-4 mph at night with snow maybe friday evening.

The temps look very cold with a low of 27 so bring along some warm clothes.

See you all Friday.

[Northlander]

Looks like them wide wobble sticks may be the ticket. Who knows. Harvey Lee what time are you getting there Friday? Do we wnat to fish at all during the day? I have the whole day off so I can be there whenever.

[harvey lee]

I don't know yet. I would like to be there by 10am but I have some stuff to get done. I will know more Thursday evening.

[Northlander]

10/4 just let me know so I can plan accordingly. Hats, gloves, boots, wool socks, AA, hand heaters and plenty of Hot Coffee looks to be in order.

[harvey lee]

You got it. Maybe a little apple pie also if I remember to bring it along.

[Matt C]

Leave some walleyes for me! And don't wear Paul out too much! I'll be up at Appledorns next weekend trolling for 3 days!

[cluelessfisherman]

I'll be there next weekend as well with 5 other guys. Looking forward to it. Whats the scoop on perch this time of year?

[harvey lee]

Winds are brutal and a little snow. Temps rather low also.

Alex Waldowski the son of Paul, caught a very nive 29.25 inch eye last night.

Fishing questionable today.

[Northlander]

Well the weather gods wouldnt let us do what we wanted to do. Spent a lot of time watching football. Oh well tahts the way it is some times.

Thanks a lot to Harvey Lee for letting me in the boat and Paul Waldowski for the great cabins and meals. Man Im still full from that HUGE steak dinner Sat night.

Also thanks to Alex and his buddy for putiing our boats in and taking them out with the tractor. Man that made life a lot easier.

See ya next year guys.

Oh and Harvey Lee those Ice House Lights are the Shiznit man! They are just what the doctor ordered. That extra long lead will make it much easier to get the clips on the battery. Im anxious to run the battery pack one when Im just walking out. I cant believe how bright they are. Anyone looking for ice house lights I highly recomend these ones. Look to be much better quality than some other brands I have tried.
