Ace Guide Service on Lake Vermilion

Tower, Updated 7/14/10     1-888-223-0588

Hi everybody,
The Walleye action seems to be picking up for some this week. I haven't spent much time fishing for them the last couple of weeks however I did get a nice 25 inch fish yesterday. Mainlake reefs and rockpiles are beginning to get some action during the day and the evening bite has been much better. We caught fish yesterday on a jig and leech in 16 to 22ft of water, on a mainlake point with lots of boulders near the transition zone.

I have been spending most of my time chasing Muskies the last two weeks and that action has been much better than the Walleyes have. Water temps have climbed into the upper 70's over most of the lake and the fish have been responding to the warm water with a much higher activity level. My clients and I have boated 9 fish in the last few days ranging in size from 51 to 41 inches. Spinner baits, blades, topwaters and gliders have all caught fish for me this week and last. All of this activity has been during the daylight hours up until the sunset. I haven't had to fish at night to get action.

Deep weed edges, reeds and wind blown shorelines have been very active on the east end. I have seen fish out on the rocks in Big bay, however most of them have just been followers. All of our fish were taken in relatively shallow water ranging from 3 to 8ft. Late evening and early morning have been good, however there has also been some excellent mid day action at times. Watch for those prime time periods
around the moon rise and set, fish the wind and don't be afraid to throw a bait in the slop.

Have a great weekend everybody and please, always remember to put some back
