My brother and I are new to the lake and looking for recomendations on a day trip this weekend. Better luck out of Isle or Garrison? Looking for Walleyes and smallies mostly. Jumbos would be a nice bonus.

The jumbos were biting very good Saturday.We saw hundreds of walleyes in real shallow water but they wouldn't bite on anything. Also saw 2 muskies in shallow too. Oh Yea this was on the east side near bigpoint.

Pointer-
what were you getting the Jumbos on? Were they right on the rocks or suspended in deeper water?

We were out from Fishers last weekend. Did very well on the Jumbo's in the rocks. We did not do as well on the eye's. They still have lock jaw. We will see how trolling around big point will do this weekend.

Hi Doc.
Right now, my opinion is that the Isle area ofers you a more diverse fishing experience and a better chance at catching fish. Perch, Muskie, and Northern in the weedy bays and Smallies and Walleyes on the rocks in this area.
I will be up Saturday afternoon and still have a open seat on Saturday night for anyone interested.

Good Fishin!

Crossin , Sportsman, or Bigpointer -

Ant tips on what you or others were using on the perch? Live bait or artificials? spinners or small plugs? Banging the bottom or suspending near the rocks?

Appreciate your experience and expertise on this lake!

      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'

      I may have to take you up on that. I've been moving for a month and don't even have my boat in the lake yet!

      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.

      Excellent report with Q&A video of Vermilion fishing over Memorial day weekend on the Everett Bay Lodge Facebook page. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0P6R367DVCXxuZN9LQmZo3ptHADXTbR7NewV2P4W8BouagdzmZ56RpSC6SP2KTjNhl&id=100031660668169&sfnsn=mo&mibextid=RUbZ1f Good timely advice on walleyes
    • leech~~
      Lol, if they had enough enforcement in the first place. They may catch them the rest of the season without the tag!
