We went to Mille Lacs last weekend and had a great time. We got up there mid Friday and set up our campsite and then went fishing. Paige and Brian got there about 9 that night and we had a fire and smores and headed to bed.
The next day we went fishing again. Chuck caught a Rock Bass and a Walleye on the same leech. (Now if only all leeches were that efficient!)
Then Brian caught a 5 pound, 26 inch Walleye. It was a nice one.
After fishing we headed to Grand Casino…I like the buffet! So we ate until we hurt and then went back to the campsite. Chuck and I went back fishing a while longer and he caught another Walleye. (Now we had enough Walleye for dinner!) So that's what we did next…Cleaned up the walleye and had dinner. Then, yep, back out on the lake for some fishing in the dark. We didn't stay out long because there was a big storm that looked like it was headed our way and a bunch of lightning. No fish were caught.
Sunday we packed up and Chuck and I headed back on the lake. I still hadn't caught a fish and I really wanted to. I had a fish on, but I must not have set the hook well enough, because he came off. So no luck for me. We were out there a few hours, but nothing. I guess the fishing on Mille Lacs has been pretty good this year even during the day, but there was a cold front that weekend and I don't think the fish cared for it much. But I had a good time regardless of whether I caught fish or not. We had good weather…only a tiny patches of rain. Now I am looking forward to going back sometime and catching some Walleye!
Here are some more pictures from the weekend.
