Domer 103 Report post Posted December 9, 2008 Got out today to Lac de Mille Lac. The three of us decided to venture to Cofin island. Couldn't have picked a better day to have gone fishing. Lines were in at 10:30 and limits were filled by noon. 8 fish over 20" were caught, kept our three and the largest of the bunch was 26 inches which was released after a quick photo was taken. Great fishing for the first one of the year. Ice conditions are great. One ice ridge right after Birch Island. About 12 inches of ice at Coffin island and we were told 14 around birch island. We drove the truck right to the SECRET SPOT. LOL. No pictures to follow. Don't want to have everyone fishing my secret spot, . Just kidding. Maybe. Any questions don't be shy to ask I won't be shy to tell. Thanks Dom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it up closer to Sand Point. I have fished Lac for the first time this Spring after Ice out with a Buddy and we limited out. Fishing Lac reminds of what its like fishing down in Deseronto (Belleville area) I am new to the area within the last year and a 1/2 and love fishing and hunting.

Guest StrikeMaster Report post Posted December 12, 2008 Fishing has been really good out there. I went out last weekend to tow the shack out and get it all set up. Towed it down to Coffin with no problems with the truck. We didn't put much effort into fishing but we still got our limits and let lots go. Got checked by the CO's at the landing on the way off the lake. There is one big pressure ridge that opened up by McKay Bay on the way out but apparently there is a road around it. The ice conditions were good as of the middle of this week but if we get the snow they are predicting I'd imagine the slush will come up with only a foot of ice or so.

Guest Brett S Report post Posted December 14, 2008 I was out at lac yesterday and the fishing was pretty good. lots of 16 to 17 inchers plus a nice 6 pounder that i through back. there are a couple of pressure ridges, one at McKay which u can drive over now with having to go all the way around it, and one at sand point but ya just drive over the shore at that one. theres lots of ice to drive on now. (about 15 inches). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
