Q: How long have you been a fishing guide on Lake Vermilion? A: I have guided on Lake Vermilion continuously since 1976.  A: I provide boat, motor, gas, bait, tackle and rods and reels if needed. I usually ask my clients to bring their favorite rod and reel (or they could use mine), appropriate clothing, (including rain gear if necessary) and your personal beverages. If we are out for a full day we have an option of having a shore lunch or clients are asked to bring their own bag lunch. Another option is to pull into a restaurant on the lake. A: We go out and fish for half a day, find a place on the shore and cook up the morning's catch, along with fried potatoes, beans and corn (small additional fee per person). P.S. I don't do SPAM. A: A half day is four hour and a full day is eight hours. Start and quit times are flexible. A: Weather is too bad to fish if it is thundering, lightning and/or too windy. Under those conditions we wouldn't go out or stay out. A: I usually take a maximum of two people other than myself. However, we could fit three if necessary, but it is a little crowded. Trailer boat(s) are an additional charge. A: I guide and fish for all species. I primarily fish for walleyes. I have a strong passion for crappies and panfish. I enjoy fishing for largemouth and smallmouth bass. I look forward to taking people muskie and northern fishing. A: Usually from opening weekend until about mid to late June there is a consistent bite that would include walleyes, largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappies and other panfish. Mid-summer the muskies start to turn on, the bite becomes good for both muskies and northerns, while the walleyes, bass, and panfish tend to slow somewhat. Beginning about mid-August through the middle or end of October fishing for all species starts to heat up. So, if I were strictly a fisherman, I would come early or late in the season. If I were a fisherman/family person, I would come during the middle of the summer where there are warmer and more stable weather conditions. A: Most of my fishing is done on the western one-half of the lake (including Frazier Bay). A: Ludlow's Island, Muskego Point, Pehrson's Lodge and Vermilion Dam Lodge. |
