Hi MJ, I am still planning on coming up for my first time at the gtg, trying to get my dad and brother in-law to come with. How does it work if we cant stay at the same place as everyone else and can we still be "in" on the get to gator? Is there a spot I could meet you guys on that friday either on the lake or wherever is best? Sorry, I know this is late but I will be there and am looking forward to it! Just need a little more info so i can meet up with everyone as I've never met you guys before. thanks

You are welcome to come no matter where you are staying. We all meet on the lake in the morning, and then usally do something for lunch on the water, and then we hang out all night, and have a poker tournament.

SO i didnt get a cabin, as i didnt find enough people to go in on it.

From talking to alot of guys that are going to be there, sounds like most people are going to get set up on friday afternoon, so they have a full day on saturday and sunday.

As always, meal at noon on sunday at the AMERICAN FLAG. FOr the newbies, you will understand when you see it.

Everyone plese bring a something to pass around for the pot luck at 11:30 on sunday.

We will have items to give away, along with the spearing decoys for 1st, 2nd and 3rd CARVED BY LASKA DECOYS

Now, lets make ice!!

Forecast for the next ten days looks good for making ice up there.

I am not a cook so I won't be much help making anything but I do have some camp stoves or a Honda generator we could use if someone wanted to make chili or something we could heat up out on the ice.

I'll gladly pitch in some $ if someone is willing to make something like that.

I am bringing my fish fryer saucer. I can deep fry fish, potatos, mushrooms, onions or what ever else we have.

I can make chili for Saturday on the ice.

I heard from a fairly reliable source that Dixon's is putting some houses out on Thursday. They have three inches of ice out from the landing.

I don't know, I think the Nord Lord Trophy would look really good sitting on the shelf behind my bar. It's time for one of the new guys to take the trophy from these Veterans of the sport, hopefully it will be me.

      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

      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?
