Mille Lacs Largemouth

[690VS]

I'll be up on mille lacs over labor day can any body give me an idea of what the largemouths are doing at that time. I would guess what ever heavy weed cover is where you would start looking but I've never fished for them on mille lac so I'm not sure.Thanks in advance for ant information i can get.

Why on earth will you be going to Lake Mille Lacs and fish for largemouth? The only reason would be if it was a tournament. The lake is full of some of the biggest smallmouth you will ever tie into. I just spent 3 days on mille lacs and average fish was well over 2 3/4 lbs. with many fish over 4 lbs and even a few over 5... Leave the largies , go for the smallies... Shorline connected rock piles, and reed edges were the best pattern.

Good luck!

I say go for the smallies as well. But if you must, the reeds on the south end are loaded with largemouth. Don't just fish the edges, you need to go way up into them. There is some really good fish in there. The good thing is the largemouth bite is better in the morning and the smallmouth bite is better in the afternoon.

Oh yea, I love catching mille lacs smallies and i'll spend some time fishing them also I'll be fishing muskies to but I'd like to have another option. I hear there's some big large mouth in mille lacs also.

If you must fish the largies... They seem to stick to any of the number of canals that shoot off the main lake. If you have a good map they should show them, some are quite long and would take a whole day to fish!

but why drive there and catch something you can catch at 100's of other lakes in MN... very few lakes in MN have a chance.. a GREAT chance at a 4lb or better smallie on any given cast!

My main target is muskie. Last year over labor day i couldn't find the smallies, if they are on this year i sure will fish for them. Hey thank you for the imformation on the largemouth it come in handy some time. Thanks.
