Location: Elko - Lake Vermilion | Cold temps have arrived here... finally !
To me this is the BEST time of the yr to fish this awesome Lake.
Daytime temps have been in the low to mid 30's and the last 5-6 nights have been in the mid to low 20's Burrrr.... Tonight 19*
The water temps today were 43-45*.... A warm up in the upper 40's is expected for the week end into next week...which will more than likely screw with the fish.
I went out today at 2;30 and the first spot ,20 min. in got Smoked by a Super FAT 48.5 Tank that didn't want anything to do with the 3 treble hooks that were in her mouth..
I can't believe how hard this fish fought. it made for an awesome memory.
Have fun out there and be Safe.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Nice fish! Keith was over there a couple weeks ago and the deepest water he could find in Black Bay was just over 4'. That area needs some serious rain. Good luck the rest of the season! |

Location: Elko - Lake Vermilion | No pics.... To busy trying to get 4 hooks out of her.
Wasn't ready and had to deploy the net with my foot and with a couple of lures in it while fighting the fish and blowing into the rocks... A true test of skill and stupidity.
In the narrows and 10-11 ft. of water. Fun, fun, fun ! |

Location: Elko - Lake Vermilion | Well, water temps are going back up...45-47 on the larger bodies of water on the lake.
Maybe a few more weeks of open water left up here ? |

Surprising, was out on the chain where I live in Oneida county yesterday and temps were 41-42 yesterday but it is a flowage and shallow so maybe cools faster than deeper body of water |

Supposed to be single digit temps this weekend. Could be done. I haven’t been out in a week and a half. Hung it up for the season. |

It was cool that you hung it up with a 53 Kirby ! Gets ya pumped for next season.
All of the launches are about a ft. and a half lower than normal. with that said, there will be ice in those areas by Tues./Wens. unless it's windy..... good luck. |
