Wonder how many folks were brave enough to get out on Mille Lacs today? Must have made for some interesting fishing, or trying to fish.

TRIED to fish a place called Brusky Creek Lake today, but the winds were gusting up around 30MPH, and it was a COLD NW wind. It was like taking an all day beating trying to fight the boat and stay warm.

.

There's a lot of standing timber in this lake, and the wind kept blowing the bucktail into the wood, to add insult to injury. That game got a little old. But...when you're just a weekend warrior like me, you take what you get for weather. Saw one Ski, but put none in the boat.

I think I saw a surfer go by. My local waters looked pretty much the same.

I've been on the Pete when it's like that. Not fun when my 60" shaft Minnkota almost comes out of the water on the Tuffy.

That's still fishable, just put the kicker in gear about half throttle, and steer with the bow mount!!!!

Where I was on Saturday, there were 'dust devils' sucking up water off the spray of the whitecaps---crazy wind shifting directions every few seconds....

Petenwell Musky Classic report from Todd Forcier's website:
http://www.forciersguideservice.com

I'll follow up with a more detail report in the next couple of days, but in a quick summary...
10 tournament legal muskies were caught on Saturday and 4 were caught on Sunday. These fish ranged from 34 1/4 to 40 1/2 inches. Seven undersize muskies and nine walleye were also boated during the two days. Walleyes ranged from 21-28 inches.
