Anyone going to eelpout fest?

[Boar]

Anyone, there are restriction on the lake, but i hope to post some steaks and food stuff inbetween booze and poutin!!

I would if I could! I love the burbot bash! Almost got thrown in jail (that would NOT have been cool) but had a lot of fun. Caught lotsa little baby pannies, but no 'pout! I see they had to dump the Maple Lake Tourney too...only second time in forty-some years.

LL is going the weekend after the fest.  Ran into a scheduling issue so I had to change it up last night.

Nope.  Went once and had a great time.  Lots of fun camps to look at.  Even had a wedding on the ice that year.  No vehicles allowed this year.  Saw on the news last night all vehicles will be ticketed and towed.  Wonder how they will tow them if no vehicles are allowed on the lake?

I only do that during the winter. They put up a heck of a fight. It's hit and miss. But some have good luck. I do it for something to do. Cam usually pick up some crappies and am eye on occasion

[Boar]

that is smurf. stole my hat

[picksbigwagon]

Curious question, where on Mille Lacs would be a good place to catch "keeper" sized pout?  I have never chased them, never kept them when I did catch them, but would now like to catch a few with the boy and bring them home to eat, after we finish off the perch, walleye and northerns we will be catching on Devils Lake this weekend

[Boar]

dont know millacs at all, but pout love to hang out in deep.water adjacnt to hups.that top.out in 40-30 ft. they come up on top.of the humps at night to feed on crawfish hiddi g in the rocks

 

[leechlake]

exactly what was on the tips of my fingers.   Mille Lacs you may be dealing with a bit shallower water but same concept exactly.  Btw the poaching in 7 up isn't good.  Fry em.

[Boar]

yupper batter them just like walleye. oh my
