The
Weekend Outlook
9-1-2005
Hi
The late summer bite is still pretty decent – breezy days have produced the most fish, and the shallow rock reefs continue to be the best spots on Mille Lacs. Fish these reefs with a slip bobber/leech in 10 feet of water or less. Some of the better reefs so far this week include Hawksbill, 3-mile and Kings. We still see some fish coming from the tops of the flats with crawler/spinner rigs too... this is a better approach for the calm days. Curly’s Flat, the Needle and Seguchie are each worth a look. The smallmouth bite is spotty, with most of the fish coming off the “2nd tier” in 5-8 feet. Tubes and rattle baits are producing most of the fish. The water is still stained, with visibility scarcely more than 3 feet. Most of the muskie are still “weed oriented” – look to the edges of the cabbage in 10-12 feet. Bulldawgs and bucktails are the top baits.
Yes, we still have big leeches!
The surface temp on Mille Lacs is 68 degrees.
The weather for the weekend (from the National Weather Service) looks like this:
Friday: Sunny, with a high near 73. North northwest wind between 9 and 15 mph.
Friday Night: Mostly clear, with a low near 48. North northwest wind between 7 and 10 mph becoming calm.
Saturday: A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly cloudy, with a high near 79. East southeast wind between 7 and 15 mph.
Saturday Night: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly cloudy, with a low around 55.
Sunday: Partly cloudy, with a high around 83.
Sunday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 59.
Labor Day: A chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly cloudy and breezy, with a high near 83.
The new moon is Saturday, September 3rd.
