Mille Lacs Help

[thrownflies]

Hello fellas. I have a group of 8 dudes making the trip to fish mille lacs thrs thru sun this week. staying at eddy's. It's been 10 yrs since I fished mille lacs and that was my first time musky fishing and have been wild about it since.

I am looking for any advise on how and where to focus our attention? Any tips on baits that are more productive than others here?

Any reason I should not leave my boat in the water at eddy's?

Also looking for night time party spots and best places close by for food. any help is appreciated. i'll try share some pics when we return.

Thanks and tight lines to all.

esox, i am unexperienced at night and 4 of our group have never worked musky gear so we'll most likly fish the low light hours in the am, most of the day and through sunset. any other advise? thanks.

what's a pounder?

the weeds in vineland, cove and wahkon will all be accessible to you if you're staying at eddys, i'd check those weed spots out and concentrate your time there. vineland is full of weeds and the weedline in wahkon runs from the island with the house on it to the back of the bay.

it might also be worth throwing a few casts over the top of rocky reef on your way out or way back.

what's a pounder?

Super Mag Bulldawgs, AKA pounders due to they weigh almost a pound....

I'd go out evening to night if you can. Check moon phases if your going out in the middle of the day. Blades have been getting some action especially with some speed.

Drive up 169 to the Blue Goose in Garrison. Barnacles is another fun bar on 18 on the middle north side.

We stayed at eddy's last year for a bachelor party. They have a cab driver who has a 15 pack van, will drive you all over and wait for you. Super great guy. He brought us to blue goose and back a few times. Stay safe!!
