I coulda got you a bullhead to go with those cats. wink

Actually I eat farm raised catfish but that is about it.

Unless I am down south... then I catch my dinner.

The tulies you can throw my way... those are awesome smoked.

We used to smoke Mooneyes too when we were growing up catching suckers out of the river... whenever we were lucky enough to catch one that is.

I haven't been out since Saturday and I'm feeling kinda deprived...I'm going trout fishing tomorrow and I'm working this weekend, but hopefully Monday I can get some spearing done before I go to work.

the last time i was out would have been last sunday. Took my buddy who won the ice saw out again and did pretty well. I speared the first (34") and let him sit in the hot seat. He missed his first but then came back and speared his 3. Had 3 northerns smash the decoy a couple times that was fun to watch. Going to try and get out this weekend also.

I fished last Fri-Tue. I ended up with 2 fish speared, and passed one in the 36-38 inch range. Saw a few more hugging the bottom. Not much interest by the fish, but that should pick up in another 2-3 weeks again.

Was out from noon until 5:00. Slow day today, saw 4 northerns total. One was nice sized and the others were really small. Another giant carp came through again just out of range.

got out for the first time this year only my second time spearing, took one of my buddys who's never been out before. I stuck the first one, a 26incher, then the second one came in and my buddy threw at it three different times before he gave up and gave me the spear to finish the fish, was another 26incher, can't believe that northern came back three times and never left the hole. I'm absolutely hooked

Actually I was on Cenaiko. I think I'm going to set up in the bay right in front of the access the next time I spear it. Hopefully I'll finally see a pike in that lake and worst case I might be able to sight fish the trout (although I've never heard of anybody catching through the ice there).

We tip up and jig fished on Saturday. No flags in 4 hours in a lake chocked full of pike. One hit on a bucktail with a sucker minnow. Only 2 lookers on the vex, and they very well could have been another species. I think the slump is here, at least in my area.

I tip upped on Saturday too. 1 fish in 8 hours on 8 tip up's.

Speared yesterday and today. Got two yesterday nothing today. They were all fast movers today in and out of the hole full speed.

Went out today without the spear on Pelican by Albertville with tip-ups and friends (my first time there). Holy cow! I've never seen so many spearhouses in my life! I've also never seen so many ice blocks left up on the ice either. Must cut down on the snowmobiling. Only caught two snakes but the water looks clear and the weeds are green.

I'll be going out with the spear tomorrow in the rain at a different lake that is closer to home...

There are a bunch of blocks being left on the ice on the lake i'm on. Very disturbing.

Only saw one fish today and it came home with me. Nice eater size.

A gator was cicling my hole today but wouldn't come in. Something must have looked fishy to him. If he comes within spear range tomorrow he is going to need protection.

Please break them up if you see them out in the open.

It just takes a couple of min with the chisel and it could save someones life.

If you see the people leaving them let them know to put them under when they leave or break them up.

      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?
