Ace Guide Service on Lake Vermilion

Tower, Updated 8/26/09     1-888-223-0588

Hi everybody,
Can it really be the last week of August already? September is just around the corner and the only good thing about it is that we are coming up on some of the best fishing of the entire season. Cooler day time temps and some very chilly night time lows mean falling water temps. Lake wide surface water temperatures in the mid 60's are already a little ahead of schedule. We normally have temps in the mid to upper 70's in late August and early September.

These cooler water temps should get the Walleyes into very predictable locations in the next few weeks. I have already started to catch a number of fish on jigs and minnows off of deeper mainlake structure.
Look for the sharpest drop to the basin on large mainlake rock structures. Depths in the 18 to 35ft range, should be heating up in the days to come. I have also been catching some nice Walleyes trolling cranks in the open basin areas of the main lake.

The Muskie action continues to be slow for most of the anglers that I have talked to this week. The cold water temps have put them into a funk and they haven't been in a very active mood. Most of the Muskies that I have seen this week were only willing to follow, bitters have been few and far between. Bucktails, glittertails, spinnerbaits and small gliders have been moving all of my fish the last several days.
Mainlake points and islands have been by far the most active locations for me the last several days. I have seen a few fish on the deep weed edges, however it hasn't been very consistent. With the water temps on the fall, it just might be time to do a little trolling.

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