Fished the last week of July on the west end and walleyes were on offshore rock piles and reefs as well as around island points, caught fish anywhere from 14-30 fow. Nightcrawlers or leeches on a 4-6 foot snell with a snagless sinker picked up fish that were mostly around the 18 inch range. Only one fish caught while pulling cranks. Bigger slot walleyes were actually all caught while dropshot fishing for smallies, so maybe try throwing a roboworm in MMIII the next time you’re chasing ‘eyes on Vermilion.
