3:30-8:00PM Mille Lacs in front of Eddy's
28-25℉, Clear, 2-4mph SE
I went and drilled holes 17' to 21' feet and set up in the 21' holes. Put what I thought was my last sucker down and jigged in the hole with the camera. Not much was going on just a couple of small perch swimming around. At about 4:05PM I took the Rippin Rap and a spoon to check for activity in my other sets of holes. Marked something in both sets, but couldn't get a bite. The sun was about to set, so I went back to the Fish Trap. I put down the Rippin Rap and a walleye came in immediately. The sucker minnow went nuts and I watched the walleye swim up and engulf it. Got a good hookset and soon the walleye was up the hole. The sucker was still alive so I put it back down. Had a similarly sized walleye come in and hit the Swedish Pimple I was jigging. Didn't quite set the hook hard enough and it got off about halfway up. It was getting too dark for the camera so I pulled it up. I put down the blue/chrome Rippin Rap and missed a bite. The bobber went down shortly after that and I caught the 19-incher. The sucker minnow came off and disappeared down the hole. I was amazed to see there one really small sucker minnow left, so I put it down the hole. The fish moved on. I moved shallower twice briefly marking one fish. I drilled a set of holes in 15.5" of water and set up in those holes. A fish came into the Rippin Rap and drilled the mini sucker minnow. Got a good hookset and brought the 25.5" through the hole. I was feeling a whole lot better about myself after landing that fish. There was no sign of the little sucker, so I put on a fathead. Nothing was going on so I went and drilled another set of holes. I came back and called something in on the Rippin Rap. It took the fathead. It looked like an 18"/19" and came off in the hole. I marked one more small fish that briefly came up off the bottom. I bailed out in time to hit Subway before they closed.
Not a bad trip considering how I have been catching them so poorly.
