Posts: 32955 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | 36 Anglers will hit the water Saturday morning under near perfect conditions. The weather tomorrow is calling for temps to be near 80 degrees, with winds out of the South to Southwest at 10 to 15. No precipitation is forecast and if the temps hit 80, it will be one of the warmest days of the Summer on Vermilion. Guide Matt Snyder said he's finding fish on all the structural elements, and that they are not scattered in the water column as they were when water temps were cooler just a few days back. Surface temps on Vermilion are the warmest consistent temperatures seen so far this year at a time when the big Lake should be cooling down as the fish move to early Fall locations. Instead, it's a Summer bite...all the way, and Matt is confident as he heads out tomorrow competing against a very talented field. Updates will be posted immediately as fish are called in the MAC HQ during the event. The MAC is a total CPR event, allowing the anglers to catch, photograph, and release muskies with no holding them boatside or transporting them to another location for registration. Anglers use a MAC Muskie Bumper measuring board to take digital image measurements, call the fish in to Judges immediately, and confirm it with imagery at the end of the day during a live virtual weigh in. As a result, MAC Teams can register any fish from the tournament legal 40" size up, and since immediate release is achieved, are able to legally continue fishing. CPR Muskie tournaments were pioneered by Paul Hartman, Co- Tournament Director for the MAC. VIDEO: http://muskie.outdoorsfirst.com/watch.asp?id=1938 The Vermilion field of contestants will be fishing for a first place of $5100.00, and up to $6600.00 with contingencies from MAC sponsor Tuffy Boats. The top finishing team running a Tuffy is guaranteed at least $1500. 40 anglers are registered for the event, but two teams were unable to attend. Morning images, interviews, and more will be up by about 8 AM Saturday. A live update and weigh in brought to you by Spring Bay Resort, The Landing, and Tuffy Boats is planned for about 5:15 PM Saturday evening, watch for details here!

Posts: 32955 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | The Muskie Anglers Circuit field headed out on Vermilion this morning under partly cloudy skies and temps in the low 50's. The high temp today is forecast to be near 80 with winds out of the South at 10 to 15. The Anglers all felt the wind would help, and it's been calm and sunny here for days during the prefish. The field left The Landing at 7 Am this morning, and will return at 4 PM. There's no need to check in earlier than 4 PM because all fish are called in and verified by CPR imagery, so the entire field fishes 9 hours today. The fish have been moving, but hard to get to commit, according to the morning interviews today. There's lots of big girls showing themselves; the challenge is getting them to convert! Updates will be added as the day progresses, and the virtual weigh in will begin at about 5:15 this evening.

Baby Mallard - 9/19/2009 7:13 PM Too much pressure. Those fish have lures zinging by them all day and every day. They've seen a million lures. Either that.........or........they're not biting.  | |||

Posts: 32955 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | The bite today on Vermilion was hard to describe; it was both incredible and tough, exciting and frustrating. Some teams reported seeing as many as 30 fish, and everyone moved fish they thought they could catch. Seeing a few fish a day over 50" helps some when the bite is off, but doing everything one can think of to get one....just one... to commit is pretty interesting work. The weather looks stable, but a front is moving through the area bringing a cool down. Winds tomorrow in advance of the front are to be South 5 MPH increasing to 15 by afternoon. There were alot of big muskies spotted today, and the field will be after them early. Watch for the morning reports to be posted early tomorrow with interviews and images from the morning ceremonies.

Posts: 32955 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | The weather today looks a little better than the bluebird skies and calm winds of the prefish and early day one. Winds are to go to the S/SW at 10 to 15, exactly what the teams are looking for if they can't count on any cloud cover. Tactics and techniques are going to be refined today working the fish spotted yesterday. Watch for reports as the day progresses, and join us for the live weigh in this afternoon at about 4:30 this afternoon.

| Josh Borovsky and Adam Greengard's 45 1/4 with under a hour to go sealed the deal for the win at the 2009 Lake Vermilion MAC. They cashed a check for $5100. Mike Winther and Jerome Morris took second place for $3000 by drawing. Rick Rosar and Jeff Chastek took third place for $1500. Several of the anglers reported losing fish today while others fished hard all day without seeing a Muskie. Watch for video, images and a full wrap up soon!
