smile Keep pulling them in boys. In the past my goto setup for the deadstick was a plain Gold #10 Kahle hook, with a fathead hooked under the dorsal fin from head to tail just under the skin. The minnow did not die as fast and could pretty much swim naturaly. But then I was introduced to the Phelps blood stripe Demon and that has become my combination of choice with the fathead hooked the same way. Both setups work very good, but the blood stripe will outproduce. You guys have a great day!! Keep us filled in on all the action. Later.

Ouch. Thats probably because theyre swimming around like crazy, just beggging some walleye to put them out of their misery. LOL

That picture of the old guy plowing made me laugh so hard I spit coffee all over my keyboard.

JC I think that picture is of shaky back during the crappie days before Kelly had that big plow. Long way to the crappie hole from shore.

Doc's crappie looks kind of curled up and dried out. I suppose that happens when you keep them in the freezer for 5 years. grin

Good thing too because every time I look across the lake another CO is parked at your house. You either look very suspicious or in need of help. Or,,,,,,,maybe the CO's are having a contest to see which one can check you when you are sitting on the Throne the most. blushgrin

You guys are one of a kind, glad you are having so much fun. Sounds like a fantastic trip. Looking forward to tomorrows report. When are you heading home? I remember when Kelly got Fred. Fred would follow Kelly wherever he went. Now five years later Kelly is following Fred. Who really is running the show confusedwink I know, Patsy!!

Have a safe trip home. Thanks for all the updates, fun, joking and fishing tips, but I really think you should consider hooking your minnows differently, man that has to hurt!! Think about what you are doing to those little guys cry.

Later boys, hope to see you on your next trip 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. 
    • SkunkedAgain
      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?
