Looks like temps are going to moderate and the wind is supposed to drop off Saturday night and Sunday. Haven't heard much banter on the trolling this fall. I was thinking about making a run up for a little full moon hawging this next week. Tough choices right now with the rut kicking into gear but it sure is fun when you can troll up those big piglets.

I couldn't make it out in October, but might be able to make it up this week. Looks like the weather may moderate a bit. My other option is to stay at home and finish raking leaves in my yard. Hmmmmm.

tunrevir,

how did it go last weekend? remember last year someone got a 30" late in the year? if things were different i would be taking my boat up there this weekend...next year. it looks like its going to be fantastic weather wise!

good luck to anyone going.

I didn't make it up as I used all of my free time sitting in the woods. Nearly payed off with a 10 pt but a stick changed my fate:( Now I am hoping this weekend, looks like perfect weather. I am surprised we aren't seeing more people posting about the fall troll like in the past. Either nobody is fishing or the bite is good and nobody is talking

the bite is g00d and nobody is talking

I was up that way last weekend. There really wasn't anyone up there. For a full moon weekend I was very surprised. Pretty sure we saw less than ten boats while we were out last weekend. Went out on Saturday night and it was a perfect night for weather, the lake had to be close to glass. Started in one spot and got blanked for close to four hours. Decided to change a bit with the structure that we were fishing and had some success. They weren't jumping in the boat, but it's all about the time you spend on the water.

i was up last weekend also fished muskies 3:30 till just after 10 seen nothing figured would try trolling for eyes for a bit before i called it quits ended up catching 4 eyes in about an hour all between 23 and 26 inches was not another boat in sight. on they way home was driving along the lake and there were about 7 to 10 boats trolling in front of terrys must be something going on. the fish i caught were all in about 6 fow

We're taking off in about 1 hour, for a night of trolling. Wish us luck. Will report tomorrow.

Good luck out there whippingpost, look foreward to your report. I'm in the deer stand in the a.m. and hopefully off to the lake in the pm!

Anyone been trolling the Garrison side? We will be up there tomorrow night, pulling cranks.

GEEEEZ DOESNT ANY BODY FISH INDIAN POINT I WOULD THINK THAT WOULD BE A GREAT SPOT SPECIALLY AT NIGHT EASY TO FOLLOW
ROCKS SHALLOW CLOSE TO DEEP WATER ?

Fished the northwest and west side last night. One 18 incher. Fished from 9:30pm to 1:30am. We tried #5, and #7 Shad Raps, as well as Husky jerk-baits. Caught the lone walleye on the Husky Jerk in about 8 fow. Beautiful evening though.

WHY ARE YOU YELLING?

so some body hears me...lol
just kinda of typo deal
you'd think your guy dancing there would thin down with all that shakkin for such a long time lol

nice try whippingpost! i applaud your effort. you never know, maybe they were pushed to the east side from the wind? somewhere on mille lacs people are getting into them and just not talking about it. now is the time to get that trophy!
