Capt. James runs trips out of Vermilion aboard a 21' North River. These waters are known for Walleye and he will show you how to catch them. With years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!

May Madness

May 28, 2023 • Vermilion
Last two weeks fishing has been phenomenal. We've been spending our time fishing Avon Lake 15-46FOW. The skinny water bite has been chaos, pulling #11 flicker minnows 20-60 back. As we slide out to deeper water transitioning to weighted reefs and bandits pulling a nice grade of fish. 2oz 120-90 back has been a pretty solid program.
