Was out last night, the Sha-bosh landing had iced up by 12:30 temp was 11 degrees. I don't think it will be usuable by this weekend. The shoreline also had ice for about the first 50 yards. Gonna even colder the next few days, I would suspect that most harbors and smaller bays/protected landings will be too frozed in. Probably need to plan for a main lake landing on the windy side if you are going to try it this weekend. On a side note we made it the whole night without a Ski.

Thanks again Bigeyes. Craig and I will be on our guided trip tonight. I will bring a pair of skates in case I need to get to shore. Alphid, Bigeyes, Chester, good luck tomorrow night.

I see the lows are supposed to be right around zero this weekend. As much as I would like to fish, I don't think zero degrees will be much fun.

Bigeyes, if the wind calms down tonight there will be a nice sheet of ice in the bays by morning. We could be drilling holes very soon.

Ended up making it out a little this weekend. Bays and landings were really starting to freeze solid when we left. We ended up going home defeated and early, since we could not get a fish to bite. Sad to say the bite may be pretty much done for the year.

We made it out friday and saturday night on the northwest side. We caught abought 40 fish for the weekend. 12 of them where over 7 pounds. only one fish smaller then 17 inches. Wish we had a lake like that around Willmar.

      15 foot Boat registration question

      By leech~~ · Posted

      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.

      My fishing trip started June 1st and it's been tough!

      By Raven77 · Posted

      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'.

      2023 Lake Vermilion Fishing Reports

      By SkunkedAgain · Posted

      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.

      2023 Lake Vermilion Fishing Reports

      By JerkinLips · Posted

      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.
