your trip

Lake Vermilion

Minnesota's prized inland shield lake provides incredible views while boasting 368 islands and over 1200 miles of shoreline. This truly is an anglers paradise with an endless amount of structure and places for fish to hide. This also means that the lake can be quite humbling to new and experienced anglers alike who are not on the water every day. Dissecting the lake into east and west ends provides two separate fisheries differing in biological factors.

What Can We Catch?

Vermilion is undisputedly one of Minnesota's premier walleye factories, while also being one the top destinations in North America for trophy muskies pushing 50"+. Smallmouth bass, northern pike, and an array of panfish can also provide exceptional opportunities at certain times of year.

Our Mandate

My mandate is to put anyone in my boat in the best position to: educate them on how to successfully locate, catch, and properly release fish, create positive memories that will last a lifetime, and ensure every trip spent with Rodsbent Guide Service is a success, one way or another.

ANGLER CHOICE EQUIPMENT

Fishability is one of the most crucial components to day in and day out success on the water. Having a boat that can handle any angling situation you throw at it is crucial to daily success. Fishing on Lake Vermilion with Rodsbent Guide Service, you will be guided out of a 2020 Warrior 2090 powered by a Mercury big tiller with plenty of space for storage and increased fishability and comfort. Having cutting edge electronics is crucial, using the newest electronics and sonar technologies from Garmin, Humminbird and Minn Kota puts us at an unforeseeable advantage on the water allowing us to implement any angling technique imaginable to help ensure a successful day on the water. Jarek and all affiliated captains are fully insured and CPR/AED certified.
