Location: Bemidji, Lake Vermilion | 58 to 59 on Saturday. Not changing much currently, sun shining and daytime temps keeping it pretty stable for the most part. |

| Gross and nasty, stuck in turnover. Water clarity isnt too pretty. With the weather stable I assume it might not get better until we get colder temps. Temps are 57-59. |

| Would you guys say the smaller lakes (Plantan) have turned all ready then? I have a long weekend off and was hoping to chase some skis. If Plantan is also funky then I would assume a lake like Elk or Little Wolf is done for sure? Thanks for your thoughts. |

Location: Musky Tackle Online, MN | I believe the main access on Plantagenet is closed until later this month.

| I know the access is closed but I think you can use the old county access on the north side from what my old man told me. Have yet to try. |

|
| That access is really shallow. You have to be able to physically lift your boat off of the trailer to use it. |

| Thanks for the heads ups AWH and Guest. Suppossedly they (city or DNR maybe) were supposed to have done some work to make it more usuable due to the closure of the main access. Dunno if that happened. My Dad s retired DNR and that's the info he gave me today. But the good thing about the area is there are alot of options. I grew up in Bemidji but no longer live in the area, heading home to visit family so I really appreciate your guys help. |

Location: Bemidji, Lake Vermilion | Bemidji is fine. Cass is fine. Yeah there is some crud in the water, but there almost always is! Its not bad at all, and actual clarity is up quite a bit from where it was earlier this late summer/early fall. |

| Bemidji is the nastiest I have seen it this entire year. I guided out there tonight and the water clarity is nonexistent. Straight green paint. I took a picture of it and posted on my facebook page. Unreal how green it was and the stink was almost as bad. |

| Came off Cass a week ago and it was in in the middle of turn over. The big lake was greened up with no activity and Allen's Bay was like a bowl of green pea soup. The south portion was the cleanest with some porposing going on. Water temps hovered between 56-57. Kitchi was fairly stable with activity off the deep weed edges. Buck was clear but dead, but that could change on a dime. Little Wolf was happening on the south end with not only numbers but big fish too. Not sure on Andrusia's state, usually coins with Allen's Bay though. That was my observation anyway. |

| Just came off two short days on Bemidji, and pea soup is pretty accurate. Nothing for us, and didn't hear of a lot going on from either the walleye guys or the muskie guys. |

Location: Minnesota: where it's tough to be a sportsfan! | I lived through a turnover once that the lake started and then it warmed up and the turnover stalled, cooled and started up again, then stalled again. Anyone see this as a possibility up that way? We had 8 fish up Saturday, one really wanted to dance but she just couldn't get it going. They were off pace all day. |

| Don't know...interesting though, usually the weather starts cooling waters will drop into the high 50's and the thermocline will start breaking down, the water continues to cool and the lake stabilizes and clears up in a week or two? Does a warming trend in the middle of a turnover prolong turnover? |

| Fished Bemidji this past weekend for the first time. Water temps were 54*-56* depending on wind direction and velocity. Me and a buddy fished Friday evening, 5 hours, Saturday morning, 6 hours, most the day Sunday and Monday, about 11 hours each of those days. In total we had 35 follows on a whole assortment of baits. Three hits on figure-8's, one about 35"-36" that barely bumped a DD, another about 47"-48" that was hooked for about 15 seconds, and one that was around 50"-51" that held on to a bait for a good 7 seconds. 0 fish in the net. 0 hits, bumps, nudges out away from the boat. I don't know that that has EVER happened to me before to not get a single hit out on the cast, especially not in October. We caught 1 northern that was maybe 34" for the only fish landed all weekend. Other than the wind picking up and letting down with a couple direction shifts, the weather was pretty stable the whole time we were out there. Water clarity was pretty good. Btw, the DNR pulled the docks on Monday.
