Mille Lacs kicked out some big bags, this report is relevant between 5/14-5/18 Saw some fish shallow (4ft-6ft) and caught some fish shallow but the vast majority of what I could find shallow wouldn’t commit to anything. The last 1/2 of our day we went deeper (8ft-12ft) and found them. All big pre spawners well over 4 lbs. my guess is will start to see these fish pushing up over the next few days but there are definitely pre spawners to be had for the next week.

Hit a couple docks on the westside and they were loaded with nice smallies. Good time for sure!!!
