to many good spots on my GPS where to start.

[raiserlures]

hi guys. I'm looking for some helpful advice on lake miltona. I'm taking a newbie out on a five day trip and he picked lake miltona to fish due to it being close south Dakota where he works. I have looked over my GPS and maps and what I see is 50 percent of the lake looks like a good spot. I'm getting out there a day early and marking spots before we start to fish. Where do I start. Do I mark everything or do I focus all my time on certain spots or structure. And is it a jerk bait lake or a bucktail bite. Trip dates August 3-7th. I would love some help. Thanks guys and good luck in August.

The way I would approach the situation is to hit the broadest variety of structure you can find early day 1. If you move any fish, then key in on aspects of that particular structure.

The flats...

Bars, points, humps with good weeds and rocks or just weeds, inside turns, good breakline with decent weedy shallow flats.

I fished the lake 3 times last year and we actually boated fish all 3 times. One trolling, one on a steep wind blown edge and one over a hump. Seen plenty of others too, I would say fish spots that look "fishy" for the conditions and you should be one fish. That lake does have some great looking structure when you look at your map/gps.....

Wow, I must be challenged. I think I've fished Miltona a dozen times at least since I started muskie fishing about a year ago and have yet to SEE a fish up there. Im starting to think its all a lie.. lol See fish everywhere else I go so I dont know...

It can be tough out there at times. Other days you'll see 10+ and catch one. Fish around the deeper cabbage this time of year and you should move/catch some fish. On the flats or shoreline breaks.

As for this year I didn't hardly see anything early in the year and heard tough reports like most lakes. So I haven't been out there since early season for this reason. I'll hopefully be back out there once the temps drop back to normal.

Wow, me and a buddy fished from about 6 until 12:30 on Friday for the full moon. Fished 3 spots with good deep cabbage and then went to the flats for the last 2-3 hours and never moved a fish.

This lake is much bigger then Fox ;)and clearer I would just find a good spot and work your way around from there......the more time spent flying around the lake equals more time with lines out of the water and Miltona is a ton of water. Find the Thermocline in the deeper water and get your baits down to it. PS I have gotten a couple follows on my Raiser set but no takers yet.....have fun up there
