Lake Vermilion Fishing Reports by Casey's Guide Service (Everything else too)

[Casey Sunsdahl]

That's very cool! Our lake is a special place it truly brings us all together.

Very nice fish and thanks for the pic.

[Casey Sunsdahl]

Fishing was great this afternoon, lots of nice fish.. 30 ft was good .. CC's of course with a shot of air.

[Fish Head]

They sure do. I think its a little early yet but getting there.. I have a trolling excursion planned for the 23rd we will see how it goes.

Casey- How did your trolling excursion go? I read a fishing report from Mark that said the fish are more spread out.

[Casey Sunsdahl]

We only got 4 trolling.. One 23"... Couldnt get them to bite it. Rigging was Much better. The fish aren't that scattered I don't think.. Lots of fairly large schools just about everywhere.

These Casey's Crawlers are selling so fast, we had to start taking them 2 flats at a time. We had to use 2 people to pull some of them out of the pile......:)

[Casey Sunsdahl]

There really are some Dandys in there!!! There u have it folks head out to Shamrock and say hi to the crew out there.. Get gas, CC's , and talk fishing!

[Casey Sunsdahl]

Fishing was a little slow in the morning but we managed a couple keepers a few nice slot fish in the low 20" range and some dinks .. Fishing was awsome in the afternoon .. Much more willing to bite from 2-6. I have a feeling we are going to have a slowdown like last year.. Just keep after them and you will catch them.. Lots of areas holding fish.

Shamrock,

Do you have a good supply of Casey's Crawlers? My folks are supposed to stop over today or tomorrow to pick some up for me. I will be up late Friday night and hope to hit the water early to try those out.

[Casey Sunsdahl]

They just got about 80 dozen yesterday..

[Casey Sunsdahl]

I have totally switched gears as the fish have been scattering. Crankbaits, crankbaits, crankbaits is the program... very good bite. 18-24 FOW... lots of good trolling runs right now. 15-25 fish the last few days in 3-4 hours of fishing....lots of nice eaters and some dinks and slot fish. Pike fishing and smallies have been taking the rest of my time.. Check out some pictures... www.facebook.com/caseysguideservice

Geesh! And here I've been led to believe these nasty long, fat Casey's Crawlers was the way to go Can a guy get a refund or a trade-in for crankbaits?

Good Fishing,

MarkB

[Casey Sunsdahl]

A gold or nickle spinner with a float behind a 2oz botom bouncer and a fat CC has been very good too.. Can't cover as much ground but if you find the fish piled up that wont bite give it a try! Trolling trolling trolling keep those crawlers trolling.....

[Chumba]

What's been working for the cranks? Are you pulling lead or just long lining. Any stand out colors or sizes? Thanks!

[Casey Sunsdahl]

anything you can get down 15-30 ft is working... make sure to tip it with a CC

[Chumba]

Ok I'll bite, are you serious about adding a crawler to the crank? I've never heard that before, wouldn't it make the lure not run right in the water?

[Casey Sunsdahl]

Give it a shot

[SkunkedAgain]

I don't know, I guess a fish would like at it like the first man looked at bacon-wrapped scallops. This looks weird but I like both of them, yum!

Back in the day there was a classic presentation with a lazy ike or flatfish with a crawler. Very popular on Mille Lacs.

That worked great on Vermilion also! Orange Flatfish with 1/2 crawler on each side hook.

[Chumba]

So besides cranks what type of bait? Crawlers, leeches, or minnows? Does shamrocks have caseys crawlers? We will be up tomorrow night, cant wait!

[Casey Sunsdahl]

Crawlers are still king! Water is pretty warm yet.Been doing well bobber fishing as well.. Eyes and smallies

[shamrock7]

We still have a good supply of Casey's Crawlers. (Casey, if Jen is headed out this way, give me a call)

[Casey Sunsdahl]

Crawlers and a bobber have been good... Still have worms left.... They should bite well on them for a solid 3 more weeks! Clients had a good day today caught a 25.5, 25, 24, 23 etc. etc... Check them out and hit the LIKE!

Casey,

I cannot get that link to work. ???

Cliff

[delcecchi]

[Casey Sunsdahl]

Stewards of Vermilion

[delcecchi]

Huh. I thought flash was banned from the iphone.

Anyway, interesting video.

[Cliff Wagenbach]
