The 2010 Mille Lacs regulations: Walleye: Release immediately all walleye 20.0" through 28.0"; Possession limit is 4, with only one over 28.0". Northern Pike: Release immediately all from 24.0" through 36.0". Possession limit is 3, only 1 over 36.0". No spearing. No culling. The DNR has announced that effective 7-15-2010 the release slot on Mille Lacs will be changed to "20-28 inch release". You can read the entire press release here.
The night ban is over for the 2010 season!
*** Be sure to pull your drain plug immediately when you leave the water!
Walleye 
...the effort we're seeing has been concentrated on the mud flats (Matton, Seguchie, Curly's). A mix of crawlers/spinners and deepwater crankbaits has been the best during the mid-day, while the leech/slip bobber bite is still decent in the evening. The south end also has a good evening bite. With the bite changing dramatically from a month ago, don't be afraid to "dump out the tackle box" and try something new (or old)... sometimes a fresh approach is all it takes.
Northern / Muskie 
... Northern and muskie action remains about the same as the past few weeks... spotty at best.
"Smaller" baits have turned more of the fish so far.
Smallmouth
... The smallmouth bite is good... some days, real good. Stick to the shallows around the south end. There's been a bit of a topwater bite mixed in with the traditional soft plastic 3-8 foot approach. Tubes and flukes are your best options. Stick with the browns, oranges, greens for your best colors. These fish aren't getting the pressure that they do some years... yet. I expect as the walleye bite draws down, more folks will turn to the smallies to round-out the day.
