08/01/2023 Walleye fishing continues to be good in fact very good for this time of the year. Daytime night crawlers and spinners, leeches rigging and leeches and slip bobbers are working. Evening leeches and slip bobbers that bite is still good most nights but the bite has been later. Slot for walleye keepers has increased and we can now keep walleyes 20 to 23 or over 28. This will help we have caught a lot of fish this year between 20 and 21 inches and until now we had to throw them back. Small Mouth Bass bite has been good most days on the rocks. Some northern pike are being caught in the bays with weeds. Muskie fishing has been slow. Perch are biting good on the mud flats but they are a mix of small medium and large.

01/20/2023 The ice on Mille Lacs is not good a lot of slush and snow. The ice thickness is way below normal for this time of the year. We are finding the good black ice in the 10 to 12 inch range with some areas only being 9 inches. I had one of my regular customers stop in and told me he had went out with his truck and wheel house this past weekend on the southern part of the lake because we have not let any trucks out. He said at best the ice might have been 12 inches he drilled his holes the night he arrived and in the morning there was a foot of water around his house. He said he had a very difficult time getting back off the lake because of the deep slush. Ian Leonard on channel 9 the last few weeks has been warning people that this years ice does not have the same strength as ice on a normal winter because of a Igloo effect. He said because of the amount of snow and lack of normal below zero weather the ice is not getting thicker and in fact is being fractured by the warmer water under the ice. The ice this winter is not safe for truck traffic some resorts are driving on it but in my opinion they are putting there customers life’s at risk, I will not do that. I am only letting ATV’s and Snowmobiles out. Walleye fishing over all has been pretty good in the bay and real good on the mud flats. Some of the fisherman told me even on the flats when they have drilled some holes water has come up and flooded the area where they were fishing.
