Lake Vermilion fishing report – Sept. 1, 2013
Fall has finally arrived. After near record temps for several days on end, a high of 61 degrees today was a welcome change. Over the past week, the walleye fishing was the highlight of the week, with some first time Lake Vermilion anglers catching plenty of walleyes off the pontoon. Plenty of eaters were caught as evidenced by the fish cleaning activity, and several good size fish were released as well. The Thurks brought their [...]
Lake Vermilion Fish Report – August 25, 2013
Making up for lost time as it relates to the warm days this past week. After cooler than expected temps for the previous several weeks, this past week was well above average for daytime high temps, but the wind that accompanied it made things a little more comfortable. We had some first time guests with us this past week, and walleye success was mixed. A couple groups caught more than average numbers of smaller walleyes, [...]

The walleyes were especially affected, as one cold front after another pushed its way through late in the week. Several [...]

With the cooler than average weather pattern holding over the area, the early part of the week offered up a tough bite, but fortunately as the week progressed the bite seemed to get better. Those who looked for smallies found them in decent numbers; the "eater" walleyes caught were a little smaller than the previous weeks, but there were some good size walleyes caught and released. A sampling of the fish our Everett Bay Lodge [...]
Lake Vermilion Fishing Report July 28, 2013
Muskie action picks up as the week progressed. While the walleyes required more effort than past weeks, the large northern, muskies and smallmouth bass kept many guests busy this past week. 3 large northern over 40" were caught, and the muskies are finally showing up on the rocky reefs with more regularity. In addition to those fish listed below, there were some "eater" walleyes caught along with some nice perch. The following fish were caught [...]
