Once the MN fishing opener happens 5-15-21, most walleyes in Vermilion will be done spawning. Look to rocky shorelines with a gradual drop to deeper water in the morning or evening. The classic jig and rainbow chub is hard to beat on Vermilion. Don't rule out slow trolling cranks in low light along the areas. If the fish aren't eating shallow, head to the deeper mud in 20'-30' and try a jigging rap. This technique is particularly effective on the bright days.
