Name: Chris Detroit_Lakes_FishingDoes anyone know were the panfish are biting in the area? Name: Jon Detroit_Lakes_FishingSorry about the double post. I Posted the first one in the AM and by late PM it still was not posted. So...I re submitted and now both are up there. Name: Derek Johnston Mille_LacsPaul, nice Perch have been biting in front of Stocky's Harbor in 25 feet of water on the gravel. Move around to find the active schools. Bobbers and minnows on jigs have been best. Good Luck

We are looking to find some jumbo perch action but don't know where to start. We have never fished for jumbo perch on Mille Lacs. We are familiar with the rocky reef area on the South side, but we don't know if there are many perch to be had there. Can anyone give up some information on the best place to find them? THANKS!!!! Name: chris Lake_of_the_Woodsone more thing, biting on dead or live bait? in the swift ditch out from warroad. Name: chris Lake_of_the_WoodsJust wondering about pike fishing in swift ditch area. Planning on heading up 3-14-15, or would it be better next weekend? Name: *nc Upper_Red_LakeGot our asses kicked this weekend by the cold, we figured it to be about 60 below with wind. We did manage to grill outside. We went about 2 miles out from Mortz, we had 4 guys there from Sat. afternoon to Mon. till 4 and only got 2 crappies. Threw back a bunch of nice walleye. Very Very slow, and we saw what we thought were crappies on the Vex one night but would not bite. Couldn't even move bacause it was too damn cold. Should be great at the end of this week. Name: Derek Johnston Mille_LacsJR/ Bobber and crankbaits can be hot in May. Stick to the shallow rock piles and shorelines. Name: Derek Johnston Mille_LacsThe Perch are biting better and will continue to bite as the weather gets warmer. The temps are going to get better this weekend. The Perch will beging to school up and this can be one of the best times of the year for big Mille Lacs Jumbo Perch.
Mille Lacs Guide Service http://www.millelacsguideservice.com Name: Brad Ryan Upper_Red_LakeMy dad, myself and a friend went up Sat. 3/8 and fished all day untill 7:30 pm and caught TONS of small perch and a total of two crappies, crappies caught around 6pm. Nice size. The weather was about 10 below zero and windy, not the best time to go out. Extension needed for about an inch of extra ice than without one. Good luck if you head out! Name: Charles Gunflint_TrailI was up on Lake Saganaga 6-9 MAR. We stayed at the Chippewa Inn on the Canada side. We caught 5 Lake Trout. That was our limit. I caught 4 myself, had to spread the catch, my licence only allowed me to keep one. 40 feet of water up by the palasiades north of Brown Island. I may make another trip this year, but will stay along the Gunflint Trail at a lodge with running water, and a warm toilet seat. There was 30" of ice and 12" plus of snow, it was great You need a remote boarder crossing permit to cross into Canada, and a non-resident Fishing licence.

Name: labsroc02 Detroit_Lakes_FishingDoes anyone know if the Tulibees have started biting yet? Any information will be greatly appreciated. Name: Jon Detroit_Lakes_FishingMaybe we could rent an Ultralite and fly in. Name: Troy Upper_Red_LakeMark, Going up Friday night and coming home Sunday! Kyle and I made plans last night. What time do you plan on staying until? We'll be up around 9:30 and going out from Hudec's. That is a long way to go for one day, Stay the weekend and get all Captain Morgan up-TOO MANY FISH! Good luck on Friday! Troy Name: Judds Resort Lake_WinnibigoshishMost all the bars are giving up some nice Perch limits. 2 of the best bars are Moses inline with our houses and the north-south section of center. Best depth is 30' to 32'. The last few days we did have reports of Perch coming out of 20' of water. The gold Perch forage minnow jig, firetiger & glow rainbow fire-eye minnow, perch color glow devils & the angel eye jrs are the best baits. Tip them with a * a fathead minnow and fish in 32' to 35' of water. Move, move, move tell you get on the Perch. There is several ice heaves on the lake now and do not cross them. They are solid one time and open up the next time you try to cross. Check at any resorts where the heaves are and how to go around them. We now have 38"+ of ice and 2" of snow cover. Name: slab hunter Upper_Red_Laketroy the bigest one i weighed was 1'9# but did'nt weigh all of them. going up fri morning comeing home fri night Name: Jon Detroit_Lakes_FishingHow about an Ultra light? I think they make a two seater. Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeTo all fishermen, If you spend 1/2 hour reading the past reports on here you should have all the knowledge you need to find those elusive crappies. Come and enjoy the lake , give every one plenty of room, Please bring your garbage home. Who ever left the 12 pack of empty bud cans I picked them up for you. Where do you think this garbage goes?I will tell you it ends up on the bottom of the lake or on shore so please take it home with you.This lake is pristine lets all keep it that way.

Name: bod Rainy_Riverrainy River Name: Jerry Lake_of_the_WoodsFished march 7/8/9. Went out of Border view Lodge. Weather was cold -27 sat. -13 sunday thats the temp not the wind chill. Anyhow went 14 miles out and fished in 36 ft of water. Primarily fishing 3 - 5 ft off the bottom. We caught about 20 fish a day keeping about 10 putting back the rest. The zippy lure and the helicopter jig yielded the biggest fish which topped out at 22 inches. Minnows whole of just the heads seemed to work well. Jigging out produced the dead sticks. Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeToday is moving day, Kellie and I went out last night and found a new spot . Maybe I should be a guide as i'm not any good at catching them. Kellie caught 8 with a blue gemneye #4? I caught 2, 3 feet from her hole, her vex was lit up like a x-mas tree while mine was blank, does not make any sense. I switched lures 4 times and had 2 lines down. I finaley got 2 on a small blue glow jig. So blue was the colar last night. Tonight we will be going out to the sleeper and trying another new area,we will be watching a couple of movies Bonnie and Clyde and American Graffiti. If your not getting fish you need to move, find a open area next to no one as people seem to get a little upset when you set up near them. Drill extra holes when your setting up straight north,west east or south of your spot.If your not getting them after dark start checking the other holes and you will find fish ,if your only getting 1 or 2 they could be 10 feet away ,again it does not make any sense. I have tried to figure it out as I 'am on the lake every day. Seems they just move around looking for food. There is a million theories, Hudecs gets hot this time of year. Why? not sure ? Try and find atleast 11 or 12 feet of water. Hilmans road goes way out and swings ahead of Hudecs are they cutting the fish off. Are the fish following the north shore? Again don't know. Why is west wind doing so well way out? Did the fish turn and come east. We tried the cribbs and it was no good, Will next week be good on the cribbs? I might try them again later this month.There is no magic spots a spot that is hot one day is cold the next, they just move around looking for food and trying not to be eaten buy a 20lb pike. When you do tie into them it will be one of the best fishing trips of your life for crappies. World class and some of the best eating fish in Minnesota . This weekend will be nuts as they are predicting warm weather. I have another full house starting friday through sunday need more fishermen during the week so I can be a better host. Gotta go have a plow that needs to be worked on. Good luck to all and be carefull this weekend COOKIE Name: Dave Upper_Red_Lakehunter_58346, This time of year the fish are in deeper water. Stop at Hudecs or another access for the latest fishing reports. They are good about letting you know where they are getting them. Name: hunter_58346 Upper_Red_LakeI have the cooridinates for the cribs but is this the place to start? Any help would be appreciated, we will be there the 15th. Name: Rich Lake_WinnibigoshishTHANKS ALOT LIL AL, I was hoping somebody out there could buy some time on the computer from there family to mail a memory Name: Nick Upper_Red_LakeDoes anybody know how far out to go of Hudecs??

Name: muskie Upper_Red_Lakethis will be my first time on upper red could I get some tips and ideas on lure selection and depth mabye gps coords. ? Name: lil al Lake_Winnibigoshishjust got back from winnie 2guys 2 days 80 perch.fished in typhoon on sun.and cold and wind on sat.3ft.of ice some snow but travel with truck easy.fished out from high banks almost straight out all the way to other shore in about 30 ft.best bait was a green and chartruse banana style #8 jig with minnow. Name: Darrin Leech_LakeShawn yeah i know my way around been fishing it since i was at least 3 or 3 if you wanna know some good places leave your email and i will eamil you! Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeTalked to Ole he got 8 fish and headed home,says he will be back at the end of the week. He was fishing 3.7 miles out. Dave,Jim and Lance left Petes befor dark to relax in my sleeper they got zero fish. I told them they had little chance of catching fish out of there,they didn't mind they just wanted to relax in total comfort. The problem with my house is its like fishing in your living room, with a kitchen and biffy.You get spoiled awfull quick. They had buffalo steaks for dinner and venison for braekfest. Dave is a guide in Park Rapids so catches plenty of fish he had some great picture of bass, pike and muskies. Steave is out there tonight with some buddies and will see how they do tonight as the wife and I are going to try the small house that I moved today. Kinda of primative but it serves it purpose. COOKIE Name: Paul Lake_of_the_WoodsFished out of Zippel bay resort on 3-7,8,9 and stayed in a sleeper in 27 feet of water. Caught 130 to 150 walleye/sauger, 3 northers, and one perch. Kept 13 walleye/sauger. The biggest walleye was a fat 25" (6.5 lbs.) and the biggest northern was 36" (11.5 lbs). Marked alot more fish, but didn't seem like they were really all that active. We did not see any suspended fish like many of the reports have talked about. The bigger fish came in streaks. About half of the keepers hit watermelon colered "varmit" jigging spoons. Shiners outfished fatheads 3 to 1. The extreme cold weather (-25 below)and the high wind kept us from moving around much. I think that the warmer weather will really help the fishing this coming weekend. The ice was 50" thick. Name: cooikie Upper_Red_LakePerch jr. Hudecs will put you on fish, they stack up like cord would on this side of the lake. Bring portables so if there not biting you can move around a little, bring extension, drill extra holes in a line. After dark fish each one for 5 minutes untell you find fish, then set up portables right on that spot,the auger will not scare them if there feeding. Good luck COOKIE PS. let us know how you do.
