paul,

Since I doubt that they are going to make it down here to frankfort indiana, you think you might be able to spread the wealth so to speak when you get back? lolol, I've had a fun time since Ive seen you last.....the salmon runs were great, crappie are hitting,so are the stripers, and I've even managed a little walleye action in there somewhere! Hope things are going well for you.

I'll try to make it! I will be in Fargo working on a project dealing with homeless.

Not sure what time we will be done, but I am getting a strong feeling it WILL be by 7:00!

BE.........>< ,>

Hey Mick! That salmon trip sounded like it would be fun ! Probably also a good way to end up with more fish than you can eat in a month !:-) Did you end up catching walleyes on your home turf or did you have to travel a bit? What were you using as far as presentation? Im going to do some time chasing crappies on upper this winter. Winter has set in here now , we have about 5 inches of snow on the ground and lake flora in beautiful downtown Hitterdal mn froze over this morning. Glad to hear from ya!Know of any decent bass boats for sale down there in your area?...Buddys lookin for one. Take care! Paul.......

paul,

Froze over? Man, i would be going crazy if it got THAT cold that fast down here!!
And you're right about the salmon....The one in the picture that I sent to you fed my entire family:mom, 2 brothers and and sisters nieces and nephews, everyone!!
As far as the walleye go, I got them right here in the hoosier state trolling #7 shad raps off of rocky points close to the channel (which by the way, is the same area that I got my stripers-with top water plugs and spinners). Havent had any luck yet with the vertical jigging, but now I have my scenic tackle jigs, so I'll be ready for them come spring!!lolol
Now for the bass boat. There are litterally thousands of them down here for sale...and as you probably know, this is the time of year to get one, as the price seems to go down when the owner isnt using it. what is your friend looking for? how big a motor,storage capacity,length,and how much to spend are all questions to ask. If your friend is serious, I do have some connections in the bass boat dept......and I'd be glad to do some research for him. Until then, goodluck on the crappies, and I'll talk to you later!

Hi Mick, Bud is looking for a newer 18 foot with a f.i. 150 minimum willing to spend 1k per foot...Trolling cranks puts fish in the boat even in indiana huh?? lolol Havent checked mail yet tonite so I havent seen the pix. Glad to see you got your paws on some good jigheads! They just seem to hold up better than other brands. Sooner or later you will develop a feel for jigging walleyes then it'll probably become your favorite way to fish them, I seem to do more jigging every year. It used to be a spring and fall thing but now theres always a jigging rod handy in the boat.. Paul

Hi Paul,

Tell your friend that he can get quite a boat for 18k!!I take it he wants a new model....mine is a 95 and cost me 8,800...of course, mine also only has a 90 horse. Also, my personal choice is the ranger. they just feel so much more solid and don't seem to chime as much as the others.I'll start looking today, but if he has a computer, he can start too by looking up boattrader.com.....my brother and I found a great boat in there and ran up into the U.P. of Michigan to get it.
And yes, trolloing cranks seems to work down here!! I hope your right about the jigs.....I really want to have some success with them. Actually, the weather warmed up here a little, I might give them a try tomorrow afternoon. No ice down here, and no season on fishing species.
so with the weather in the upper thirties, I'm suspecting that the eyes will start to bunch up a little(I'm looking for comformation on my theory) and might be a little easier to find. have a good one!

      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.

      Those are some fine specimens. Great job

      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?
