A white bearded miniature Santa-like wood carved character riding upon the back of an over-sized wood muskie. This to me (Charles Weiss) says, a Season's Greetings to All the Electric Beaver folks!  See you in 2013 on the shining shores of Vermilion Bay, Eagle Lake

Electric Beaver excited about Muskie Madness next Month

The excitement is building as another Week of Muskie Madness is right around the corner! Sharpen those hooks and get the casting arm in condition. The muskies are waiting, somewhere in Vermilion Bay.
Perhaps right in front of the lodge

Opening week 2011

Well we are down to 1 week before the big 2011 opening day with the cold spring this year across the country one can only hope that the Canada 2011 opening day brings some more spring like conditions.

As I think back over the years and the different conditions we have had compared to this year I can only expect that this will be one GREAT opener.

Cold water equals shallow water lake trout and hungry shoreline walleyes.

Can't wait to arrive at VBL on Friday afternoon crack open a moosehead compliments of Gord I hope....

Look forward to meeting some new guests this year and GOOD LUCK to all the others that will be making the trek north of the border to VBL..

"Time on the Water".....Quote #18

"This is different fishing. We've got deep-running lures on each of the three rods, and Rose is cruising along at a fairly good clip. Speed trolling is what they call it. He fishes the bars, the humps, the sharp dropoffs. And deep--never getting shallower than 15 feet and frequently in 30 to 60 feet of water. And he keeps doing it. And doing it. And still doing it. Hour after hour. I can hardly stand it. I want to say the hell with it and stand up and throw casts around. It doesn't matter where, anywhere, just to be doing something. Tassi nods off a couple of times. At one point I fall asleep...

That was the longest boat ride I've ever been on. Nine hours. Rose said he averages one musky for every 29 hours of trolling. For those who say trolling rapes a lake, I say it's not rape, it's attempted rape."
