We fished out of Vermilion Saturday and Sunday. We finished with just a handful of walleye each day. We caught a bunch of 5+ lb small mouth and about 25 perch. All but 2 of the perch were over 12 inches. 4 of the perch were over 14 inches.

Most walleye came from a purple 1/2 oz jig. Most of the perch came from a drop shot rig with a minnow we just happened to throw in. A couple of walleye and smallies were caught on the drop shot also.


Walleye jigging was a bit slow, but it was certainly nice to see some of those jumbo perch out there. I haven't caught such big bass away from the islands in probably 20 years. Lake is looking healthy!
