September fishing action on Lake Vermilion was best for walleyes, perch and some normally elusive crappies. First for the crappies. While they are most often caught in the early part of the season, a couple different cabins happened upon them. They caught some nice sized ones in 30+ feet of water. Several other guests caught some smallies remarking on the aggressive fight they offered. Musky [...]
Where did August go? Seems like the 4th of July was just a few weeks ago, and yet we'll flip the calendar to September tomorrow. And the walleye bite has picked up just in time. We had a Lake Vermilion water temp of 63 degrees on the shaded side of Big Bay shoreline yesterday morning. A check of the ten day forecast shows every day's [...]
Lake Vermilion family resort fun was the name of the game last week. From campfires, to paddle boarding, to swimming, to tether ball... family vacation season was in full swing. Add in some impressive evening volleyball, and things were hopping! How was the fishing? Never a popular answer, but it really depended on who you asked. Some guests did well all week long, while [...]

October 2018 Lake Vermilion is still offering up walleyes for those that have kept their boats in the water as the deer opener approaches, but the end is in sight. The usual fall tactics of trolling crank baits around 2 m.p.h. and lindy rigging deep spots with nice size minnows have continued to produce nice fish. The water temp was barely above 40 [...]
Cold and windy weather made the conditions less than ideal this past week, but it is hard to complain about the weather when you see what the folks on the coast were dealt. While the Pike River dam had stopped running during a drier than normal August, a good rain early this past week got it running again. It was a week of mixed reports, [...]
Lake Vermilion walleyes and muskies and bass..... In typical fashion, the up and down weather of September produced the same up and down fishing action. The walleye and bass proved to be the most consistent bite last week although they didn't get too much pressure. Many were scouting the muskies in preparation for the weekend's PMTT Mega tourney. Here is one caught by Kevin Rabska, [...]
Early September Lake Vermilion walleyes As August wrapped up, the crank bait bite for decent walleyes continued. We had several cabins of guests report many limits of nice walleyes, eating a couple meals here and taking some home too. Just the way it is supposed to go! Ozzy and Max, shown above, caught most of their walleyes [...]
Can the Lake Vermilion weather be too nice? Depends on who you ask. We had some families focused on using the pool, tubing, cruising the lake and taking in the tourist attractions, and for them the past week's weather was just perfect. For those who were fishing muskies, the mid 70 to mid 80 blue sky calm wind days were not what they were hoping [...]
June kicks off strong on Lake Vermilion with most of our guests pleased with their outings. With many returning guests this past week, they took the lousy weather of Saturday evening in stride and started their fishing on Sunday. Virgil's crew of 8 had a fish fry every other day and caught the last 5 they needed on Thursday afternoon for each guy to take [...]
