I have some new hardware this year to get the Get to Gator Webcam going.

I am pretty sure the camera will be fully functional this year.

I've never speared on Maple Lake have driven by many a times and checked it out though, Do most of you spear on the south or north end? And is there any dangerous spots on the lake that are there every year

Capt, i have never speared it myself, so i am not sure on the lake at all.

I hope that everyone is getting excited about the big event that we have coming up soon here. As we all know, we are going to be heading to Maple Lake. For those of you that dont know, the way that we come up with the lakes, is that we just throw them out there, and i put them all in a hat, and pick two of them out. We try and do one in Dec, and then again in Feb. The goal is to always try and go to different lakes so people from different areas can see new lakes, and/or get to the outting!

For those of you that dont know where Maple Lake is, its right off of HWY 55.

Here is a link that you can go to that I Google Mapped it

(you will have to copy and paste that link into a new browsor)

I believe that Merkman is going to be bringing his cooker again this year, but I might be wrong on that? If you would like to bring stuff along that would be great. Most people just eat by themselves, but we do get together around 12 by American Flag to see how fishing has been going!

It would be nice if you can take the time to post here and let us know if you are going to be coming to the event or not! Its always nice to know if you can make it there, and that way we as a group will know what to expect at the outting.

If anyone has any questions, please post here, or shoot me a email.

Cya all soon!

I will be there under the American Flag.

I won't be offended if anyone else brings a cooker too.

The more the merrier.

I will be BBQ’ing venison brats and steaks.

Everyone is welcome to bring some food to share also.

I promise to have the GET-TO-GATOR CAM up and running this year too (for anyone who can't make it) I should have it going at least 1 weekend before the Get-To-Gator.

If anyone wants to take a shot at spearing.

I will have

A 8’X8’ double spear house.

A 4’X6’ spear house

An extra spear or two and some extra decoys

You will have to be legal to spear, have a valid spearing license, hold me harmless in the event of an accident, and agree not perform any illegal activities with my stuff of course. (Since I don’t want all my spearing gear donated to the MN DNR) but other than that it is a great way to see if you would like to spear without going out and purchasing a ton of equipment.

      Opener and the week after were good.  Not the numbers we normally get but better quality in the East End.  Not surprised on the weights for the Auto City a.  Usually for us we only catch a few slot fish but we averaged 3 a day for 10 days.  2 overs, biggest 27 inches.     Our best luck was 12-16 feet for quality.  When we went deeper we caught more but smaller.  Bass were really starting to heat up.  For me little earlier than normal.  Found some nice Bluegills the day we went after some panfish.  Dock fishing was as many as we wanted per usual.

      We will be up on June 8th for the week. It will be our 13th year in a row staying on the lake.  I hope the walleye are hitting the bobbers by the time that we get there.

      Those are some fine specimens. Great job
    • gimruis
      I'm quite shocked to hear that a walleye tournament is still doing a live weigh in.  Virtually every event these days around here is doing a catch, photo, and release format.   Regardless, nice work.  Congrats.

      On the south end...   A great week of fishing with walleyes and saugers caught in good numbers.   The go-to presentation, again, was a jig and frozen emerald shiner.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.  Other minnows worked also, but emerald shiners are a favorite of anglers for good reason.   The Lighthouse Gap area, Morris Point Gap and just in front of Pine Island held nice fish in 17 - 21' of water.  Various schools of walleyes and saugers across the south shore.     A quarter ounce jig in gold, glow white, pink, orange, chartreuse, or a combo of these colors tipped with a minnow worked well again.   Some big pike and jumbo perch being caught by walleye anglers. On the Rainy River...  Some nice walleyes were caught on the river this weekend, although most anglers normally head to the lake.  12 - 15' of water is holding some nice fish.   Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River is closed until the keep season starts up again July 1st. Up at the NW Angle...  Some nice walleyes being caught along with a mixed bag.  12 - 25 feet of water.  Points, neck down areas and bays with warming water were holding good fish this week.    The go-to presentation was a jig and minnow as on the south shore.  A mixed bag as is common around the Angle.

      Nice work!   Here's two words you hardly ever hear anyone say anymore.  "grateful and humbled"   
    • Brianf.
      RLG, thanks for the shout-out!     Jeff and I are still trying to wrap our heads around what happened this past weekend.  We are humbled and full of gratitude  for having won 'The Classic' for a second time.     We practiced through all the rain on Thurs and the wind on Friday and found six different spots holding big fish.  Fishing was good on both days with several 'overs' in our catch...but would it hold up for another day?   We didn't know.     On tourney day, we made a long run to our first spot where I lucked out on a 26.5"er on my second cast.  Jeff followed up with a thick 27" er a few minutes later, which turned out to be the big fish for the event at 7.26lbs.  We finished out our limit and weighed-in at 10:30 am for the welfare of the fish in our livewell.    There were some big weights in this event which would have won in most other years, but - for whatever reason - this was our day.  Everything just went our way.  Again, we are just super grateful and humbled by this success.  We also want to congratulate all the other anglers who did well and give a big 'thank you' to the tournament organizers who put on such a great event!

      I had a good start to the season on opener. Fishing was slow but consistent. I had four eaters in the box by lunch dragging perch raps. Crappies were biting. I haven't been up since so don't know how things have changed since then, but I'm sure the walleye continue to migrate out into the main basins.

      Let’s start this by congratulating Brianf and son for winning their second City Autoglass Walleye Classic last weekend. These guys know how to fish.  We just got to the lake for the season. Chores are almost done and I’m ready to fish.  red(new dog is more yellow)labguy

      I tried starting a 2024 Lake Vermilion Fishing Report topic but it doesn't show up on this board.   Maybe somebody else knows how to do it?
