I'm thinking about checking out the northwest side of Mille Lacs. I'm not too familiar with lake, so I'm looking for some info. What are the recommend accesses on the northwest side, preferably with plowed roads. Any info on the Pike bite lately and area?

I'm assuming bait shops around there are still selling sucker minnows.

My mar, Terry's, I think it is Sportsman that is just north of the holiday gas station on the left side of 169.

Garrison Bay or a long the first break. Lots of people are fishing the south end bays for pike. Seeing you are looking at the north west side I would head to the mud and find the perch. I am sure most of the bait shops will try to carry suckers as long as they can.

Head to the mud and find the perch? Hundreds or thousands of anglers have tried that already this year. I haven't heard many that found the perch. Maybe I'm in the minority, but on the south side this year there weren't enough perch to count on two hands.

The reports I have been getting is the north end of the lake flats have been providing some perch for those willing to look for them. If you just sit in one spot you are more than likely not going to do very well. The south side of the lake is bays and gravel not much for mud fkats. The bug hatches are starting to happen on the mud fkatsand that is where the perch are feeding.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
