Sportsmans Lodge- Little Vermilion

Recommended Posts

I have had the pleasure if fishing at Sportamans, and the honor of fishing with TennesseeGuy. Both were rewarding and unforgettable events.

 

I missed out last year, but would like to be there this spring for sure.

 

And what LV thread would be complete without a couple photos of big pike...

Here are a couple from May 2005

Many a time I've arrived in camp late Friday and picked up supper off the dock. Stay there an hour or so and a trophy pike will chase your lure. JP made a living catching pike while constructing a dock in early May 2005. Hammer a handful of nails, make a couple of casts, bring in a nice pike, hammer a handfull of nails, make a couple of casts..........................................................Pose for picture...............

 

They spawn in the back of the bay and go past the dock on the way out past the point into deeper water, which becomes their recovery area.

Great thread. Mepps, those are awesome shots!

 

I saw another pic on your website, also with that Black/Chart spinner. Was that a favorrite

lure for you up there? (Looks like you had no leader?!?)

 

What are your go to baits there?

 

Hope to see ya'll in the spring!!!

Spinner baits are my favorite lure on any lake really. They produced most of the big fish at LV too. I have made my own spinners (#8 blade) for the next trip.

I have some secret colour combos I will be testing this year!

 

To tell you the truth, we didnt use leaders much that trip, didnt have any break offs luckily. But some of those fish were caught while going after walleye. I have started using leaders regularly since then, but at that time I rarely used them for pike, braided line has always held up.
