Mille Lacs Pics


Recommended Posts

We finally made it to MIlle Lacs yesterday (tues 18th ) we headed to the flats, ( Scott is great at putting us on the fish ) a bit scary once we got to the end of Hunters plowed road, but we knew where we wanted to go - soooo, off road we went and it was worth it!!!

11 eyes, the ones we got on the ice ( we lost a few ) where from 19.5 to 26.25 inches

An Awesome day laugh.gif

No but this was my biggest catch ever through the ice - at 25.5. Scott got the 26.25 only about a minute after I pulled mine up. For about a half hr, we where shack hopping helping each other and taking photos. LOL laugh.gif - It was wierd, the hot bite happened at about 11:00am ish. confused.gif

Lisa - I am patienly awaiting your photos, wink.gif when are you gonna get out ? smile.gif How are the snowmobiles coming along?

Nice report! I noticed the 4-wheeler. I want to take my Dad to Mille Lacs for his first trip ever to the big pond. I'd like to hit the 8-mile, 9-mile, boot flat area on Friday and I only have a 4-wheeler. Not sure which flats you are refrencing but wondering if you'd know if those areas are accessible via 4-wheeler.

Any info yould be appreciated...Thanks.

We did make it to 9mi. If you have 2 people on the wheeler, I think it would be very tough with anything less than a 700. We ran into a lot of drifts and many slushy spots. Hunters does have a good road most of the way to the Boot, and then it turns into an just an Ok road. So getting out to the Boot area is do able, once off the road it can get tough! They are expecting more snow so ask how things are at Hunters.

Good luck and happy/safe travels.

The snowmobile is FIXED!! Poor Mr. LT-blood, sweat and tears on that job! We'll be out on Saturday-I'm just not sure where. Of course I'll let you know but since we fish in the middle of the night with no headlamps or lanterns none of my pics will turn out-Sorry! HEHEHEHEE grin.gif

    • 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
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
