Was the West and Northend producing?

I found the bite on the north end to be good. We landed 15 walleyes from 7.30 am to 2.30 pm on Saturday (left to watch the Wild Game). Biggest was 25", and the smallest was a pair of 17.5" fish. Most fish were in the 20-22" range. No keepers, but considering some of the other reports I am pretty excited about my morning. shocked.gif

I have read that most of the fish caught elsewhere was shallow? I marked fish in the deeper water (18 - 20 feet) and that is where we fished.

Fished in St. Albans Bay and the area north and south. On the water at 5AM and off at 10PM. Except for the time out to watch the Wild game. First fish of the day was a jumbo perch, something which I caught zero of last year. After that tried trolling, jigging, bobber fishing, fatheads, shiners, leeches. Ended up with 4 walleyes and able to keep 2. Got up this morning and the wind was blowing and the lake was so rough, just packed up and headed home. On the drive from just south of Terrys Boat Harbor all the way to Onamia, never saw one boat on the lake.

Water temps ranged between 46-49 degrees. Might be a little cool yet???

      Yes, MN is very difficult to register anything that had a title or a original registration card. I've ran into the same issue with old snowmobiles, and motorcycles it suks. Hope he can get it done over in Wisconsin for you. Good Luck.

      Thanks.  Very similar to my tactics.  I usually haven't started using lead core until August and then we are fishing in 30 FOW.  I will give it a try in 20-25'.

      It's amazing how much the water level is dropping. It looks like we've been getting enough rain to keep the forest hydrated but not enough to fill the lake.

      Finally made it up to Vermilion this summer.  Between opening our place in Soudan and entertaining the wife and dog I only made it out on the lake 1½ hours Wednesday evening and 3½ hours Thursday morning.  In those 5 hours all I caught was a 10" perch.  I had 3 other light bites and that was it.  The wife caught two 8" eyes Wednesday and didn't get out Thursday morning with me.  Vermilion Fuel and Food didn't have rainbows, and their chubs were very small and pike suckers were too big (they did have a river-mix that looked good that I should have tried).  I did see a few mayflies on the surface so I will blame all of those factors on my lack of success, although my lack of fishing skills factored in also.  Many others fishing around us and I only saw one other fish being landed so maybe I wasn't the only one struggling to catch fish.   Water temp was 65°F in Stuntz Bay and the water level is running 13" lower than last year at this time as shown below.  Good luck fishing and enjoy the lake.  It was beautiful out there.
