Cliff,
How much has the surface temp dropped since Monday? I was reading 73.5- 74 on the West end by Monday afternoon before I packed up and headed home.
That was in the narrows heading up towards Black Bay. The weather looks a little more favorable for this weekends fishing. A jacket will feel good in the mornings and evenings again.

Thanks and Good Luck

Steve

Cliff,
Thanks alot for the info. The big pike bite should be on now blush With a little luck maybe even the muskies will pick up a little.

Weather has been "confused" (mixed clouds, sun, wind drection changes) for several days. Usually a recipe for poor walleye bite, but the feedbag seems to be on. Rainbows or crawlers lindy rigged on 18-24 feet off rocky points and flats. About 3/4ths of the fish are too long to keep.

Hans,

Besides the weather, how are things going? Sorry to hear about the oversized fish. Drop a note latter in the week.

Hans,
When you rig crawlers on Vermilion, do you use a whole one or just half? I've heard people having success using just a half. Just curious...
