Thought I might share from my daily journal. Vermilion Musky fishing is hot and crazy fun! It shouldn't be long before we see a 60" come out of this lake.  Those big girls are tough to tackle with. Been watching a monster for a few weeks now and I can't wait to feel the power. Plenty of mid to upper 40's to keep me happy though. Big lake...Big fish. Will start posting pics as soon as I figure it out. "If you're feelin' blue..."

Agree on the 60" coming from the big V.  Been going to the lake for 47 years and staying on the west end. Muskie encounters were basically non existent until about 10 years ago. Very seldom fish for anything but walleye/crappie/smallmouth but have had numerous run ins with the toothed monster over the past 5 years. Had a guest at Life Of Riley land a 54.5 incher off the beach the end of may. Next day had another 50" + take a 24 inch walleye crossways just as my wife was going to net it. Yes they do eat big walleyes.  It is just a matter of time before someone hooks the big one.

Had one on last night after it hit the bass that hit my senko.  It was on for several minutes but in the end 6 lb fluro leader was no match for the teeth of a muskie.  Estimate was upper 30's.

Cool, del. an upper-30's got the whole bass in its mouth?

It tried.  I think the second time it hit the bass it got the hook and the bass escaped.  

Hard to estimate size when they are moving and in the water.  I didn't think it looked bigger than the 40 inch pike I got a week or so ago.

      2024-2025 Vermilion Ice Fishing

      By JerkinLips · Posted

      Beautiful day on Vermilion Sunday for the last day of walleye season.  Lots of people were fishing in portables, or out in the open.  Was entertaining watching many of the wheel and skid houses being pulled off of the lake.  Checked half a dozen spots where wheel houses were removed and didn't find any trash at all.  Sounds like people are getting the message.  I may go out on the lake when the snow is melted to do a further check and cleanup if needed.   Fishing was average for this time of the year.  Had a decent bite from 2pm to 4pm when I caught my biggest eye (pictured 22 inch).  Decent finish to a good season.  Now on to lake trout fishing.   Hope everyone had an enjoyable and successful ice fishing season.  Going to be a long time before this year's open water season.

      What a difference a day makes.  Fishing was very slow today.  Biggest I caught was only 13 inches.  Marked a lot of fish but couldn't get very many to bite.   The wind was very strong today and did cause a little bit of drifting, but travel is still good on the latke.  Just avoid the snow banks and drifts.  Saw one house get pulled off the lake, and didn't see any new houses come out before I left the lake at 4pm.  Lots of snowmobiles and trailers in Tower.  At least the city and lake will be busy with those.   Good luck fishing if you go out the last weekend of the winter season.
