I won a weekend trip to Mille Lacs and was wondering what the best month was to schedule my trip? Thanks Chris

In the past few years the bite has been somewhat slow most of the time. Id go with what kind of weather you like the most. Also remember the summer night fishing can be very buggy. Mid-week is a good time to have a lot less traffic boat-wise.

Did you win a guide trip or just a stay at a resort? If it's a guide trip, best advice would be to contact the guide to get his take. He may have a good pattern at a certain time of year that you would want to take advantage of.

The bite usually picks up in mid july depending on what the weather's been like and goes until ice-up.

Late Aug. - early Sept. Great shallow water & night bite. If you can, try to get Thurs.- Fri instead of weekend!

Depending on the type of Spring and of course water temps, but late June through July can be a lot of fun. #'s as well as the big girls that haven't been beat to death yet. Night bite can be hot, but expect company.
