Kent, I agree with Marks comments, that most all areas of Mille Lacs hold good numbers of smb, and the ramps he lists are good ones.

I play the wind when decieding which area of the lake to fish. As you know ML can get quite challenging when the wind blows. A general rule if the wind is over 10mph I will fish the opposite (calm) side of the pond. I too run a 21 footer but wind is important to having good boat control. Often boat control over the reefs mean good catches.

Great question, thanks for asking. Good luck
