Mille Lacs 101 - Q&A with Brad Hawthorne

[@toddmarkowski7871]

Brad, I've been watching you for awhile, way back from the early days before sponsors. You are truly a craftsman. One of the best! If you want to fish Mille Lacs, look Brad up.

The best part, it isn't just big musky, big walleye, big smallmouth, it's also trophy perch, northerns, and largemouth, it's amazing what slips under the radar sometimes.

It would have taken way too long to mention every good species on the lake during the intro! haha

[@dino0392]

Favorite end would be south end. Izatys resort is an every year thing for our family, one reason to look forward to summer .!

DNR is helping to slow the economy around the Mille Lacs lake area. You can now only keep 1 walleye during ice fishing . And they allow tribes from Wisconsin to net the lake also.

[@IceAngler]

Sounds great now! Thanks guys.

[@spoofhoundify]

Was up there a few weeks ago. Caught 6 smallies over 21.

[@AnglingBuzz]

Nice work!

💯💪👊LET'S GO!!! Stay on top!

[@levibruce8322]

You could say the best part is the walleye netting.

[@arthurbrumagem3844]

Unfortunately that part is ignored by the DNR and the politicians

[@rds990]

Quite possibly the BEST smallmouth water in the USA. Used to be a Walleye factory but netting, and overharvest by fishermen, hurt that rep. Still a wicked fine smallie lake.

[@arthurbrumagem3844]

It is only a good bass lake because the tribes have little interest in them.

[@claytownsend5321]

What’s the best way to contact you for a guided small mouth bass fishing trip ?

[@arthurbrumagem3844]

Never seen a lake with so many shallow rock reefs. Gotta know the lake ( I don’t)
