Depending on your definition of (near)  haha, but I have had great success fishing the inside weed edge up in niles bay lot of keeper fish.  If you want to catch a million perch and again not really near you but evertts bay out in front of the golf course there a million perch that is where I take my nieces.  But yeah Vermilion I love it to death but I wish there were a little more abundance of panfish.  Not sure if your plans include a haul up to Trout but that is a great sunfish fishery I love it up there a lot of 1 pound and a little over fish up there.

Not real close but a boat ride to wolf bay around the dam should have some sunnies & gills to keep the kids busy. West end has many more spots than you will find on the east end

​Just the back shallow bays for pannies near lily pads? Never tried for them up there.

I want to take a few days off and go camping. Maybe try for Pike and pannies in addition to walleyes, lakers and bass.

 

Thanks in Adv.

​That's always my recipe. I don't know the Daisy Bay area but look for shallow areas near emerging rocks or near shade cover. I catch endless panfish off of my dock all summer long but it's a little rude to anchor next to someone's dock to fish. There is a rockpile that we fish where we just pull up in the boat, pull out lawn chairs, and fish for pannies from the rocks.

​I have had my best luck in the north arm what I have done in the best is after June I find the smaller fish in 4-6 feet of water adjacent to deeper water, once I find them I look for any kind of drop off, change in bottom, or weeds.  I try to concetrate in 8-12 feet, I anchor right where I caught the smaller fish and cast out.  Just a trick still get little ones but less and less.  But like I said there are some nice gillies up there.

      Back when we had to bring the deer in to register it, I went to town with one and came back with three.  My wife was impressed!   They weren’t there when I went in but were when I came back so they didn’t have time to rise yet. 😉

      Friends around Grand Rapids have done pretty well, nothing big regarding bucks though. Further north all I've head are bad reports. Seeing a lot of does when I drive around during the day but have only seen one buck during the day the past few weeks. Have a friend that's a trooper so when I need venison I just get a car hit one.

      Good luck this weekend for those going out.  Smurfy must be dragging a biggun outta da Chippewa this week.   Some are saying the movement kept increasing for them this week but my cams have gone cold the past couple days.  We’ll see how she goes!

      What's the water temp today? Please update

      By JerkinLips · Posted

      Had 30 feet of ice out from my Stuntz Bay boathouse on Tuesday afternoon.  None inside the boathouse so I was easily able to remove my boat from the lake (just pushed the ice away in reverse and drove forward through it with my 16 foot aluminum boat).  Didn't hook up my battery so I didn't get the lake temp.  Were lots of boat trailers parked at the landing.  Hope they get off the lake easily.  Will be ice fishing in 4 weeks.

      Vertical Jigging for Most Anglers

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the South Shore...  It's deer hunting season in MN and not many are out fishing.  Those that are fishing are taking advantage of the unseasonably warm weather and excellent walleye and sauger bite that is happening across the lake.   The best depths on the south end of LOW are 22-28 feet of water.     No surprise, vertical jigging with frozen emerald shiners is the program for most anglers.  Anglers are going through a lot of frozen emerald shiners as the walleyes and saugers are all mixed sizes.  You will catch small ones and your eaters.  Depending upon where on the lake you are fishing, some slots and big trophies are in the mix as well.    Anglers are also reporting very good numbers of jumbo perch this fall.  Watch out for an occasional pike or even lake sturgeon mixed in with the walleyes.      Good numbers of fish are staged in great spots for the upcoming ice fishing season. On the Rainy River...  Good numbers of shiners again in the river this past week. Typically, if there are shiners, there will be walleyes, and there definitely are.     Walleyes are coming from various spots from Four Mile Bay to Wheeler's Point, to Baudette all the way to Birchdale.  With so many anglers taking advantage of the deer hunting season, there are not a lot of boats on the river.      Walleyes are being caught in 10-25 feet of water in various stretches of the river.  The bait and consequently, walleyes, are moving around.  Once you find some fish, you will be rewarded. Jigging with live or frozen emerald shiners is the way to go. Some anglers are also still trolling crankbaits upstream to cover more ground and find fish. Both methods are producing solid results. Sturgeon fishing remains strong.  The catch-and-release sturgeon fishing is open into the spring when it changes to the "keep season" on April 24th. Up at the NW Angle...  For those not in the woods hunting, fall fishing continues to be excellent.  It is areas with structure holding walleyes in this part of the lake.  Points, neck-down areas with current, shoreline breaks, and transition zones from rock to mud are all productive locations for walleye right now.     A nice mixed bag with perch, pike and crappies being caught as well. Good muskie fishing with the colder water temps and shorter days.  Some big fish and some good numbers are being caught amongst the islands.  Both casting and trolling is getting it done.
