48″ Musky Madness Winner…caught on a crawler harness.[/caption] First there was the 48″ musky. The professor and I went out this morning casting for muskies and later trolling. Not a single follow and only a few small pike. We went in for lunch and then went out to chase some walleyes with crawler harnesses and bottom bouncers. The Professor played the role of the Rapala Extreme Net Man Gladiator. The full video can be found here: https://youtu.be/-wPKG8CeEdA This was the first fish caught. After a 23″ and a 23 1/2″ walleye, about an hour later, up came this monster: [caption id="attachment_5224" align="aligncenter" width="300"] 29 1/2″ fatty[/caption] Another thank-you to my guide and trusty net man, the Professor. I believe this was a solid 10# fish which lived to see another day. Walleye, the movie, can be found here. Honestly, I thought I had another small musky: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGcgwhucqaQ&feature=youtu.be We had our typical nice assortment of trout and whitefish along with a limit of pike. But then there was this fish, caught while jigging for trout and whitefish. Has anyone else caught a lingcod/burbout at VBL? I had one follow a lure last year while up at the falls above the trout hole. Gord was all too eager to clean the slimy snake. Very tasty! In case you were wondering. The Professor didn’t go hungry. He caught his share of fish and left the nice ones for me. We were also pleased to make a return trip to Caribou Lake. The fishing was not as good as the spring, but we were pleased to find steel gas tanks that had not been ruptured by the Bears and caught our share of pike and small mouth bass. Thank you Gord and Susanne for another great year at Vermilion Bay Lodge! ]]>
If you’re looking for an outstanding vacation spot for the serious fisherman or a family get away you should consider Vermillion Bay Lodge on Eagle Lake, Ontario Canada. We have stayed at many lake resorts over the years, but none offer the simple pleasures of this one. The lake is large enough and holds enough fish for the most adventuresome fisherman and yet easy for local family fishing for young children. Bring your own boat or use one of the aluminum boats (20 hp) at the lodge. Boat dockage is well protected from the wind and allows easy access to the water.
What sets this lodge apart from most others is it is always clean, well kept with lots to do including paddle boats canoes, bon fires in the evenings and a just plain friendly atmosphere.
