I think that this should go out to the guy in charge of this site. Is there a channel on the marine radios that could be used for FMers while on the lake to talk to each other and pass on fishing info?

Snob,

On a normal year you are fine if you get to the ramp(I assume you are talking about Malmo)by 5:00. If you get there past 6:15-6:30 it is usually really busy. Of course they are talking strong winds out of the south so this may keep some anglers down in the southern half of the lake. Good luck and see ya on the pond!! 4 days and counting!!

I tried last year also to reach any one from the site on the pond.But as you found out there were no Fmers out at the same time we were.
I will be up at Agate Bay for the Memorial weekend, plan on being there around 6PM or so.We have room reserved there in the hotel, just look for the Green/Tan 2000 Ford F150 towing a Red Lund Explorer with a merc 40 on it.
I go by the same handle on the radio also, so give a hoot.If I hear you I will gladly respond, I usually can talk all the way across the pond if the other person has a good radio and tall antana.

Sifty,
I was wondering what happened to you, I gave you a couple of calls on Sat. and got no response. I did however hook up with someone from FM, that was fishing on Indian Point, I was in Vineland, but I forgot to ask who it was. Soooo... which one of you FMer's was the one on Indian Point that answered me?

Derek, yes it was I that you got ahold of on Friday night. How did you do. I had a 22"er by 12:02 then a 19.5"er several min later (I let me 7 yr. old reel that one in) Thought I was on the motherload but didn't get another bite for the next 45 minutes. So I moved up the finger I was on to where it met the base of the reef. I got 1 more 22"er then nothing so I called it a night. The little guy was asleep by then anyway. What a trouper to make it that far anyway. Moved up to Fishers and fished up there on Sat. Got a few more. 1 was even a keeper. I played with the Reelbottom GPS map. I really like it. Everything I trolled across was right on the money. It was neat that aroung Fisher's area that the spots that showed a couple foot rise were isolated rock patches surounded by sand. On the Carsolona sand bar the countours were right on. My x-15 doesn't have wass but I don't need it. My GPS is dead nuts on every time on every waypoint that I have downloaded from lakemaster. I did find a few high spots on Agate bay reef that were not on the map but every one that was was there was right on the money. i did troll in Isle bay for Northerns before we left Sat afternoon. Didn't get bit but it was nice to use the map to antisapate the zigs and zags without having to troll thru the area several times to figure out a trolling run. I did talk to another FMer on Sat. Can't remember the call sign fully. somthing H2O. He was down by Big point I think. At least I made a few contacts. Channel 69 was perty bizzy. Everybody keep on trying.

Captaincurt, any fish being caught on Agate reef??
Will be staying there at Agate Bay resort over the Memorial weekend.We did fair there last year, but the bit was best just before dark.They don't have reserved dock space there so I have to haul it in before the crowd to get a space smile.gif
Thanks, Benny

Who is going to be out on the pond this weekend?
And do most of you use the same handle as here? I use the same one every where, and will be out Saturday,Sunday,and Monday.Not sure about Friday night yet, depends on the time I get to Agate Bay Resort.

Thanks, Benny

Well, I tried and tried.No one from the site responded.Not even some friends that were on the North side.
I know any one on the water could here me and we could easily talk to each other because I talked with a few people who gave me a radio check.One was on the North, and one was all the way into the bay by Whokon.
I called for Derik,Siffty,Seppy,Waterwolf,and Scott.
I understand that we may not have been on the water at the same time so I wasn't disapointed.Just wondering if any one else was tring to call out to the FM'ers?
Was on the water Sat from 9AM till 4PM,6PM till 9PM, Sunday about the same hours, and today from 11:30am TILL 12:30 pm.

I heard Captain Tim,Captain Hook,Squiral(sp?),TZ,A Rick,A Dad,and a bunch of kids Sunday night who wouldn't shut up, kept yelling "WhatsssUppp".
Thanks, Benny

Benny, I didn't get out on the water until Monday. We fished crappies the entire time and weren't on the lake very long. The good news is the fishing was excellent.

On a side note, we also fished crappies on Red this weekend and that bite was good also. We will be posting some crappie photos on our site today.

I will be on the pond this coming weekend Friday, Saturday and Sunday. As always, I will be on 69!

Scott, Monday I only had the radio on for about 10 minutes.We were only planning on a short boat ride and just a little time at Flamingo reef with the bobbers out.
I was on the road by 12:30 PM.

My friend Seppy, who was up on the North side tried to call me Friday noght.I got out of the cities an hour later than planned and my folks showed up just as we were un packing.So I never even hit the water to fish Friday, just dumped in and morred up.

Crappies on the pond eh?I here they are tough to find out there, though I never have fished for them either.

Talk to you later, Benny

      2023 Lake Vermilion Fishing Reports

      By PSU · Posted

      Question for this knowledgeable group   I've noticed over the past two weeks at the lake that in certain areas there seems to be a ton of black "duck-like" floaters that seem to congregate by tons and stir up the water and then move to another area close by, stir up the water again and move again. I've seen them recently in Greenwood Bay and around Fectos.   Are these cormorants? Are they stirring up the water by fishing?   Thanks

      Followed the advice I posted, slip bobbers w rainbows and crawlers in big bay on a dozen humps topping out at 6 to 12'. Caught a few smalles and a couple 12" walleyes. So not very successful but maybe didn't hit the right humps or lake was too calm or wrong time of day - 7:30 11 am. That's why they call it fishin'

      Walleye Report:  Just spent a week on the lake (East end).  The fishing was as hot as the weather with many, many 14-25" walleyes.   Surface Temps: Consistently 70-72 with the recent hot weather.  Swimming was comfortable the past three days.  Depths:  All caught in less than 10 FOW Techniques: Lures - Plastics and jerkbaits.  We bought two dozen leeches but never opened them.  I do regret not watching a bobber dip below the surface.   Tactics: Cast and retrieve lures in sandy bays, over main lake/secondary rocky points, across rocky flats, between sandy flats, and throughout silt/mud bays with shallow weeds.  A little wind and clouds helped but was not always necessary.  And we had lots of random fish.    Advice:  Get out there and fish.  These patterns should hold for the next week-two.  The fish are aggressively feeding in the shallows where they are finding crawfish, shiners, etc.  A fast moving bait is getting hammered.  I literally can't tell you how many times I saw fish INHALE our presentations at the boat.   The population is healthy.  Catch and keep a few and let a bunch of them go.     Good luck.
