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 [...]
July 4th week at Everett Bay Lodge is in the books, and we want to thank all those that chose to make our resort their Lake Vermilion home for the holiday week. Many guests took advantage of several of the Tower, MN July 4th events. Yet others focused on their fishing, played golf, enjoyed yard games and took in the beauty of the lake and [...]
When is the summer of 2019 coming to Lake Vermilion? We are half way through June and it hasn't arrived yet. While we were happy to get a couple nice days last week, they were just enough to remind us what we seem to have missed so far this spring. So what has that meant for the bite? For many last week was a pretty [...]
2018 season is in the books..all except for the final blasts of color on the trees. Fall 2018 The final weekend of fishing for our guests was pretty decent, with several cabins catching limits and more slot fish released. Eric and a buddy headed out on Sunday, and while the temperatures were low, they managed to catch several walleyes, a couple limits of [...]
September 2018 Late September fishing on Lake Vermilion was interrupted by rain much of the week, and those who made the best of it had mixed results. Colder than normal temperatures would have normally moved fish into their deeper fall spots, but we had reports of fish being caught in the early September depths, 16 - 28 feet, on the edges of structure. [...]
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 fall fishing stays steady, particularly for walleye and small mouth bass. Add the chance to host college friends for a week, catch plenty of fish for some meals, and laugh, laugh, laugh! Isn't that what a trip north is all about? September 2018 For our group, trolling crank baits off the back of the pontoon was the easiest option. It produced [...]
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 [...]
Lake Vermilion smallmouth bass fishing stays strong as the end of August approaches. Good numbers of smallies continue to be caught, with crankbaits and leeches producing the most fish. There were a handful of good sized bass caught, but it was a more a week of good numbers. Levi caught this nice one, and Jim Ryberg reported catching 2 five pounders and Jim Swanson caught [...]
