      Thunder his son and I opened the season on Mille Lacs midnight Friday night.  We pulled into the access to a big full moon and almost flat conditions and I knew we were in for a great time(I even told them).  I made the decision to get away from a cluster of boats straight out from the landing and travel to the east to start our trolling pass with the kicker running just over 1.5mph in the 7-10 foot range over the rocks on the north side.  The fish told us in a hurry that they wanted metallic stick baits and more specifically Smithwick R&S rogues.  We were treated to the craziest night of trolling I have ever had (ten fish on the first pass)!  A brief but beautiful sunrise came and went and the trolling bite had finally tapered off.  We pulled lines and anchored locked near a break to throw out some bobbers and relax for a bit as we had nearly nonstop action for six hours and 101 fish on the clicker.  We poked around for a bit and picked up a few more fish on corks and casting jigs and then made the decision to get off the lake before the snow got too heavy.  2020 Opener-WOW!  This one will be hard to top!
