Guest Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 I can't wait! Our company had their anual fishing trip on the lake for 7 years but we fish the west side!Looks like we will have to do a little work too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Is anyone besides me getting excited to fish the BIG V? I have never been on the lake but I am very excited. There must be others in the series that are getting excited.Also, what part of the lake are we going out of? I have a map of the lake but won't know where the heck I am going? A little info on which part of the lake we are staying on may help me get started.ScottS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 I'm pumped for it. I have never fished the lake either. I will have to take a little vacation and pre-fish that week before! It's a big lake, I don't want to jump in a boat Sat. morning in complete confusion!Anyone else thinking of heading up there early?Find Hoodoo Point (southern area near Tower?)on the map, Scott. Somewhere in that area, but I don't know where exactly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Guidemans said his place is 5 minutes from Hoodoo point which is down in Pike Bay. I know that My partner and myself, along with Fishhead and Grabs will be up prefishing on Friday. We are going up on Thurs night.------------------Paul[email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guideman Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Hey Guys,I must say I'm really looking forward to meeting all the guys from FM.com. My place is very easy to find, I'm on the west end of Pike bay, which is on the east end of the lake. Just take 169 north 17 miles to the "Y"store and take a left on county Rd 77.There is also a billborard for Fortunebay casino on the corner. Go 1.2 milesand you will see my sign on the hwy. Hwy 169 is 4 miles past the last stop light in Virginia. Make sure you don't take the turn in town it goes the other way. It happens all the time! The fireside seminar starts around 7:00pm and goes until......whatever! See you then! ------------------Terry SjobergAce guide service.Beautiful Lake Vermilion.aceguideservice.com [This message has been edited by guideman (edited 05-16-2002).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Thats it, after my tournament this weekend in Brainerd I am going to keep heading North. That should put me in Tower on Sunday evening and give me a full two weeks to prefish!! Ok, well I would have to have a job like Pwaldo does to pull that one off Jim, since you are not fishing maybe you could throw some of us who are not going to be prefishing a bone. I keep looking at the map and it looks like lots of water, lots of structure and lots of areas to lose my lower unit!! Hopefully that translates to lots-o-fish! Guideman, is your place in Pike Bay?ScottS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guideman Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 Hey Bob O,I do have a ramp in my yard, it can handle most boats unless you need alot of water to get it off the trailer. There is a puplic ramp in Pike bay or you can launch at Vermilion house boatsright next door for $5.00. I should have enough dock space for all that stay at my place. My neighbor and I, each have 100ft docks. ------------------Terry SjobergAce guide service.Beautiful Lake Vermilion.aceguideservice.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob O Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Guideman,Thanks for the directions to your place. Are you planning to have all of us launch and park at your place, or is there a nearby public launch and we could boat to your place?If you plan to offer your place, how early can we launch on Fri morning without bothering anyone?
