I’ve been to Tomahawk a number of times. Don’t think you can go wrong there.

The only downside is if you want better fishing you may put some miles on getting out of the clearer water, but fish can still be found nearby. If the goal is more family focused I’d say it’s worth it. Great beach and cabins. Awesome marina.

Saw a ton, only got 1 44″ though. Nice weekend all the same.

I’ll be on Vermilion again this weekend. Hoping the stable weather helps me out.

Have a tube or a suick ready for a cast back. Otherwise come back later.

I lucked into one 3 years ago. So thankful I jumped at the opp.

Heading up there tonight and will be there through next weekend. I’ll hit you back in a couple days.

I primarily fish Frazer Bay (where my place is) and East throughout Big Bay if the wind allows.

I love Goldens and I have a Field Golden that I got from Rosewood Goldens in Clear Lake WI. All the dogs have great lines and this breeder was amazing during my process on picking out my pup and he still answers any questions I have.

I got one from Rosewood 10 years ago as well. Been a great buddy. I don’t hunt, but he definitely had the drive to retrieve from the day we brought him home. Tons of ball in the yard and swimming at the lake gets his energy out and keeps him happy.

Nice! I love getting on the shallow walleyes. Probably going to try that for the first time in a couple months next week. Unless my musky addiction continues to take over.

Double 10 bucktails are good in shallow. Beavers, Husky Medussas, and Magnum Bulldawgs if you’re deeper.

Don’t need to get fancy on colors. White, Black, Black/Silver will get you plenty of action.

Caught a couple muskies in Big Bay yesterday. They seem to be sliding on and off of structure throughout the day.

I haven’t fished any walleyes in some time, but I was marking them off of island points while musky fishing.

Slip Bobbers will work on top of reefs, otherwise I also pull spinners that time of year off the edges of the breaks.

Tons of great water right outside Pike Bay. I have a place in Frazer, and I spend quite a bit of time in Big Bay when I’m able to. Mostly muskies for me this time of year, but come late August into Labor Day I work Walleyes back in.

It’s been a grind for me on Vermilion too. I’ll time it right eventually though. This whole full time job thing just gets in the way.

Seeing plenty, just need to get a biter.

What DaveB said. I’m doing well with slip bobbers on top of humps. Jerkbaits on rocky shorelines are getting Smallies, and some muskies are still hanging in the shallow bays.

Fishing Walleyes and Smallies all day tomorrow, then Muskies all day Saturday. Should be a nice time.

I’ve been finding them more in mid depths on reefs the last couple days. Ultra shallow hasn’t done much for me, and I haven’t tried deep really at all yet.

I have a Livescope, and buy conservation licenses. I’m in it to have fun, catch and release 99% of the time, and learn new tactics/spots and all that.

If the issue is people decimating fish populations, that’s a human behavior and human choice issue. Not the technology.

I’d completely be on board with low bag limits.

There’s a few around Frazer Bay. I’ve taken yesterday and today off. I plan on being out tomorrow again.

I’ve done well with all of them honestly. Moxies and Puls’r is usually what I drift to.

I’ve hardly had color matter.

It’s happening to me as well. I figured I’d just lube it as well.

Sounds like a great time!

My group got 2 up to 19″ over the weekend. Most still 10-15″ though. Still fun. Probably going to pivot to Smallmouth soon.

Yeah I’d imagine Pike is good right now. In fact, my dock has actually been the best spot for size (still Frazer). So shallow seems to be the ticket.

Finding small ones around Frazer Bay. Any depth from 12-30 has worked. Jigs if they’re schooled, trolling a spinner if scattered.

Rainbows have worked well as bait.

I don’t care if someone fishes my dock. If I’m out there, I just wave and ask how it’s going. I like talking with other anglers so I kind of enjoy seeing some come by.

Out front of my cabin, about 1/2 mile below stony point.

Is that the old Stony Point Resort? Used to stay there all the time as a kid.

I don’t recommend using the ram mount to scotty. I tried when my buddy visited me last year with his livescope. Did not work great at all.

Bought my own unit this year and am putting tracks on the boat. Much sturdier.

Frazer Bay West of Shamrocks was good early in May. Assuming it still is.

Guess I should’ve gone shallower! I played with the small guys a lot. Still had a nice time. I stuck in Frazer Bay the entire time.

This will be my 1st opener at my cabin on Vermilion. Naturally we’re worried about ice.

Looks like it hits the 70s next week, so we may just make it in the nick of time.

My wife and I bought a place on Vermilion this past August. It was a family friend so we avoided any kind of bidding war and he gave us a better deal than he could’ve gotten on the open market.

But like your story, he liked that we would buy it and use it and not just rent it out or flip it or anything like that. We stretched our budget to meet him but I can’t imagine regretting it at this point.

I’m 31 and I’ll have this place for my entire life essentially so I’m pretty pumped about it.

Cousins is at 45 mill against the cap whether we keep him or cut him. It’s 100% dead cap.

Only way you trade that is if you retain some, or a lot, of the cap hit. Get draft picks as compensation. If you can find the right fit, I think it would be smart. We’re either going to not contend with a 45 mil Cousins, or not contend with a combo of a warm body QB + Cousins retained salary and have draft capital to build off.
