Safely settled in for the night on one of the humps somewhere out on High Banks road. Marked fish but no takers. Radio was chirping from the other houses though. Didn't put in a lot of study to the spot due to the dark. May be a little deep at 29'. Give it a go tomorrow and move after that if neccessary. Got the portie along to try the top ofthe hump for perch.

Started this as a new topic since I see at one reporter out here now and know a couple more are on the way. Good fishing to all.

Good luck to you Bryce! Was thinking of heading up there also, but might have to base my decision on how well you do smile

Bryce. I see kim from high banks posted the deep water bite has not started yet. 15 TO 20FT have been producing. Keep the reports coming as we arrive at high banks sunday afternoon.

Lines down for over 2 hours now. Quite a few marks but just lookie lews and no bites. Marked fish until just shy of midnight. Other 2 houses have about a half dozen pailers and roughly 2:1 throw back slot fish. Think I need to move to join them at 25' but will fish this depth today to prove it. We are fishing mid-lake structure which generally fishes quite a bit deeper than the first break that High Banks concentrates on. Wind has layed down and temp about 0. Enough snow on the ice for banking but no drifting in our area. Looks like everyone should be able to spread out real well. Getting ready to bake some cookies.

1 perch, 1 pike, and 1 tullibee. Almost constantly marking fish. Breaking shortly for enchiladas. Whole lake of fishable water and 1 portie thought right between all our wheelhouses was the ticket confused

Bryce, where are you on the lake? We are in 17' on the outside edge of the large group near Highbanks road. Lots of small perch so far. Hoping for a prime tome bite.

That must be quite the kitchen you have in your house, baking cookies, making enchiladas grin

I think the fishing will only get better towards sunday/monday, once the warmer weather starts coming back in. Were coming up tomorrow morning planning on Winni but if the reports from Red are good we might be heading another hour north. Good Luck!

Nothing fast and furious but we did end up with 3 nice eaters. Pretty small sample size to give lure/bait advice but have an intuition towards white right now. Hard call tomorrow to give up a known in search of nirvana. Been 2 years since we were last on winnie. Fish seem fatter now. Good times. Top off the genny and rack up sounds like a good plan.

Cookies must be in vogue this weekend. Our portie visitor would have been in about 24'. We got moved in on by more wheelhouses than I thought last night after dark. Moved to the other side of the hump this morning. Tacos will be the smell of lunch.

Correction, we are in 24 feet not 29. Looks busy around us, more wheelhouses appeared suddenly. Wish they would stop messing around and stay on one side of the hump. Now I smell taco's ..............

Near lockjaw conditions for us today. Just pailed a 14"er but only a midday pike other than that. Did spend a few hours on shore this afternoon resupplying and showering leading up to primetime and then lost an hour to supper in another house so maybe missed that magical school in that time. Oh well, there is tomorrow and/or next time. Staring at a flasher screen all day is not my dream fishing trip. We have enough for fish fry at Gosh Dam tomorrow night. #lucky

Bryce, near identical conditions for us as well. We are pulling out this morning. We'll get 'em next time.

Another pailer last night after the report. 10 1/2"er this morning so far. Big group of wheelhouses moved off the other end of the hump last evening. Hopefully that improves conditions for us. All my fish have been jigging a hot tomale tipped with just a head. White with a blood worm and gold back. Usually like to throw the minnow body on another treble with the head but no good this weekend. Wifes fish have been on a white/chartrues knock out jig with a bottom hooked shiner.

      2023 Lake Vermilion Fishing Reports

      Thanks, I'm riding this now "TW200 pictuer wouldn't post" so not sure I can get on any of the ATV trails. Might have to sled by in the winter! 👍

      There are actually 3 tree carvings on the trail from Soudan to Ely.  I saw 2 of them but missed the 3rd.  I believe that trail is the Prospector Trail #4 or #6.  You have to start from the parking lot on the Murray Road 2 miles past Soudan since several property owners on the old railroad bed didn't allow off-road vehicles on their properties.  Another option is to travel from Tower to Embarrass then on to Ely, but that adds a couple hours to the trip.

      I've seen that caving on a few web pages. What trail is that on?  It would be cool to ride by. 👍

      The colors are getting good. Beautiful time of year. Maples are full red and birch and aspen are going too.  I’m not finding a formula for walleyes. Best luck when fishing saddles and shoreline drop offs 10’ down to 20’. I’m using old crawlers, too, because a) it’s hard to find minnows although Northwoods in Cook has them and b) it’s been too warm to keep them alive.  We do have a change in weather happening right now. Wind is coming up and the temperature is dropping. It’s going to be hard to fish Saturday through Monday but the change could be good after that.  Good luck, you’ll need some. They are out there and you’ll get dinner but you’ll have to work for them. RLG

      Thank you. Yes, weather does look sketchy but we'll make the best of it. Looking forward to the colors and just getting away.

      Some more heavily fished lakes are tough ALL season.  Lake Minnetonka and Mille Lacs come to mind.  The water is clear, there are tournaments all the time, and the fish are not easy to catch.   That is why I focus my efforts on lakes with less pressure.

      Was up Tuesday and Wednesday this week for a UHV ride to Ely.  Made it out fishing for a few hours those days.  Walleye bite for me was fairly slow but I was only using leftover crawlers.  Most others I saw were using minnows so maybe they were having better luck.  Fall colors should be at peak on Vermilion.  Weather doesn't look the greatest however. Good luck and enjoy the fall season on the lake.
