Lake Fishing Techniques

Lake Vermilion MN. FISHING?
Fishing Lake Vermillion for the first time. Going end of August. Staying on east end near Everetts Bay. Any help on fishing spots and techniques for walleye, northerns, and muskie would be appreciated. Going to try Big Bay, Everetts Bay, and Pike Bay. First time there and need some pointers. Thanks.
I’m just north of there in Thunder bay, ON. Never fished on your side of the border, but heard good things about that lake.
Walleye may be down deep, (over 15 or 20ft) especially on a hot calm day (these days can be really tough for walleye) cruising along steep drop-offs and other underwater structures, like humps and boulders or near reefs. A fishfinder will help, even just to find the structure and depth. The best days to target them are when there is a bit of chop on the water, then check in shallower spots, like edges of weedbeds in 4-10 ft of water, that are still close to a drop off or deep water. When the wind is blowing, go to the end of the bay that it is blowing towards, because that carries their food sources. Also the water gets all churned up and the dirtyness cuts the sunlight and lets these fish come in shallower than a calm day. They are most often tight to the bottom so jigging works well, but trolling bait-harness spinner rigs, or crankbaits or heavy jigs covers more ground. Once you find the fish, drop anchor and switch to jigs. Be sure to keep your bait down there so the school does not lose interest and move on. Keep moving till you find the fish. I catch almost all of my walleye on a jig with a live minnow, favorite colour is glow in the dark, and with a propeller. Once I find a school I usually “deadstick” (set the rod down and just watch the tip) just off bottom, letting the waves gently jig it, and bounce it off bottom. Deadsticking will detect subtle bites from non-aggressive fish even with a $10 rod! Walleye are picky, try different colours, try jigging or just letting sit on the bottom, or if that doesn’t work troll. If you’re missing them, hook the minnow twice, or better yet use a stinger.
For pike, troll in shallow bays with big flashy lures, red and white Daredevil spoon is good.
I don’t know the ways of the musky.
