We went out of Vermilion yesterday, headed northwest to about 17 FOW. There was a fair-sized pack waiting for us and we could see patches of clear water. Bite was pretty slow, but we worked hard to get 9 eyes and 2 nice SM. Purple jigs, blade baits, and Rippin Raps were used. One knucklehead in a smaller speed boat (with a loudd motor) trolled right through the pack. We could hear that thing for a mile after he left. Still was a nice day on the lake.
