    I'm by no means a pro, but I can try to video next time I go if no one else can/does before me.

    With the weather I didn't make it to Mille Lacs. Will be going up this Saturday instead.

    Will be going out of the north end out of Red Door Resort focusing on the flats 2 miles out (particular northeast corner of East Flat).

    Just got back from Reno, it was a tough bite. Fished for 4 hours and pulled out one "15 eye. Constantly marking them but and had lots of lookers but not many bites. Lots of Ice Castles and permanent houses already out there. [​IMG][​IMG]

    Just leaving Webster, SD. I caught 5 perch and 1 walleye during the 24 hours we fished. Planned on staying longer, but with the cold front nobody was catching anything.

    Fished West Rush Lake just south of Pine City, MN Tuesday. I was there 4-6 and didn't catch anything but the other 3 guys who were there noon-6 caught about 10 crappies, 1 small walleye and a few small perch and sunnies. Parking lot was packed.

    We are going for crappies north of Mille lacs tomorrow morning. If we don't get anything we are going back to Mille lacs.

    Steady walleye bite all day long. Catching 15-18" like it's red lake(except they bite during daylight) Biggest one was 25" with numerous 20-24" thrown in.

    Anyone in MN who likes to fish walleye and likes to catch fish... Head to Mille Lacs. We've been hard at it the last 2 days and it's on fire. Heading up tomorrow afternoon/evening for the night bite.

    Had a awesome day fishing on lake Wisconsin. I caught my first white bass ever today. They are a fun fish to catch thats for sure. My 2 best fish of the day and ever were a 15.5 white bass and a 12.25 crappie. I'll post up some pictures later. Time to get home and clean some fish. :tu:

    Here are a few pictures. My buddy Trevor Olson does awesome work. I'm lucky to be able to hunt and fish with him because he helps make the memories last.

    My PB crappie at 12.25 then in the pic below is my 2nd ever white bass at 14.5. Later in the day I caught a 15.5 inch white bass. (Last pic). Overall a great day. Lots if 9 and 10 inch crappie. Can't wait to go back
