Heading to Vermilion Friday.
Stuff is packed, trip is mapquested and expectations are high for our 18 hour trip to Spring Bay Resort on Lake Vermilion, MN. It will be my second trip to a shield lake but this time we will be casting (not trolling) until our arms stop functioning.
There has been a good nite bite out there so far this month slow-rolling DC-10's while burning DC-8's have been hot during the daytime. We hope to catch fish with other baits and not get locked into a "blade mentality" but one of us will always be chucking blades while the other 2 guys are pulling rubber and jerk/glide baits. I had Rich Newman make me several of his "Surprise Mouth" chop baits in custom MN colors that have been hot out there for the past 2 years.........and he even threw in a newly designed glide bait to test out that does not have a name yet.
I am taking my laptop with me so I can (hopefully) post some big fish pics on a daily basis. I am in serious need of some fun fishing on a different waterway.
Good Luck on the water!
