We sold our home on Lake Vermilion 13 years ago. Wish we still had it! Beautiful lake and endless places to catch multiple species. Sometimes hard to fish but you always make it look easy!

Finally someone puts out a video where it’s basic fishing tips for the guy that doesn’t have forward facing sonar on their boat. The KZbin fishing content is super flooded with ffs. Great video and such a nice low key resort that I will be looking into for a future fishing trip.

Thanks so much for going old school on this. Hard to believe I am calling side image old school! I would like to get forward live imaging, however, we have fished for years without. I do have side imaging and I love how you break that down! Impressive video so I Subscribed!

Watched this while eating perch. Used crunchy catch and cook…..first time using a premade coating in a lot of years! Kinda impressed by it and oh yeah great vid!! That time of season where I can hear the grouse drumming while fishing. Time for the shotgun. I can’t believe I seen a stringer of dead eater walleyes on the channel. Awesome to see responsible harvesting.

Tom & Mitchell: thanks for another excellent video. Lake Vermillion took me back to fishing this lake with my uncle from Tower, MN years ago. It is a beautiful lake and the video shots are impressive. I hope you will cover Lake Vermillion again soon like when you fish Leech Lake. Watching you guys catch eater size walleys and having a fish fry was enjoyable.

Buddy and I fished Lake Vermillion a few years back. In fact, we stayed at the same lodge, in the same cabin, used the same boat dock and cleaned fish in the same fish house. Very unique body of water. Just like Canada with huge rocky outcrops and structure galore. Found real deep water on northeast side of the lake where the water was 10 feet deep and a boat length out it dropped to 60 feet. Fun to fish. The McMansions were impressive with float planes up on lifts out in front. Would go back monthly if it was not so far from Rhinelander. Will make it back someday and stay at the same place. Rustic but functional and the bay there offers protection for your boat if the wind starts howling!

I bottom bouncer with my own homemade spinner rigs 90 percent of the time I haven't used metal blades for a couple of years and where I'm fishing there isn't to many rocks ect to snag on so I use a 1 Oz Lindy rig weight and a mylar blade and a little colored float along with beads and alot of times I just drag that weight in the mud or sand and the float keeps the bait suspended so less snags and the walleyes seem to come to investigate the stirred up mud and take the bait wouldn't work in rocks but soft bottom it seems better for bigger fish.

Fish the Big V 2 times a year for a week at a time. I learned a LONG time ago bring everything. Plan to fish everyway possible. Unless you have some intel that gives you the edge. I was up there 2 weeks ago came home Labor Day weekend. We fished Lead line, trolled shallow but ended up landing on the spinners with minnows. Funny thiing is we put the rods in the holders and let them hook themselves and seem to do better than most. But either way works

I couldn't agree with you more Joel. I grew up on Rainy Lake. Half of my family is in International Falls, MN, and the other half across the bridge in Fort Frances, ON. My grandparents owned a fishing resort off the Trans Canada Hwy (Four Winds Resort) at Reef Point Rd. Also, Roste's bakery in Fort Frances. I didn't know how spoiled I was growing up on what might easily be the best Walleye & Bass Lake in the world. The very reason that they hold the Canadian Bass Championship on Rainy Lake. That's not easy for me to say either; as I'm currently at my cabin looking out at Hay Bay, Bay of Quinte. Also, known for some of the best Walleye fishing in Ontario... Cheers Bud. 🤟🎣
