Here's what some clients have shared with us!

On November 12, 2005 I went trolling with Paul Pollock. I caught and released a
46 inch muskie with a 21 inch girth and my personal best fish - a fat 52 incher
with a 24 inch girth. Paul has superb knowledge of muskies and the lake. The day
of fishing was an awesome experience!

Paul, Once again I'd like to express my sincere thanks for a fantastic fishing experience.
At the dinner Saturday night I spoke with several people who did not have nearly the
same success that we enjoyed. It was a credit to you and your knowledge of Lake
Vermilion. My colleagues here at work are extremely jealous! I noticed that your
truck was missing a Marine Corps emblem. The enclosed stickers are intended to
remedy that. Thanks again, Paul, for being such a great host.

Hi Paul,
Whats up man? This is Dave O'Toole. I am the guy you took out last Monday(the 30th, July 07) with my Uncle Mike.
Thanks again for taking us out. You were a really cool dude, and I will recommend you to musky fishermen in the Chicago area.
We had a great trip. Your spots you showed us really helped.
We caught a lot of big northern. I like the slot limit for northern on that lake. It helps the size of each catch. We caught more northerns to count. 5 of them were over 30 inches. Most were in the upper twenties.
We caught some decent sized bass also.
As far as musky, we moved 2 fish. Did not catch any.
The first follow up was at the islands that you showed us on the South shore of the west side of the lake, located southeast of Niles bay. The follow occurred on a mepp's giant killer. White buck-tail, silver/prism blade. This one was about 32 inches long. We were able to catch walleye, smallmouth and northern(including a 34 incher) at this spot.
The final follow was at the bay you showed us in between Muskego Bay, and Niles bay. The musky was at least 40 inches .......... maybe 44 inches, on a Pacemaker top-water/prop style bait. My dad screwed up the figure eight, otherwise he might have boated him. This was a sweet spot for us all trip. This spot coughed up tons of northern including another 34 incher.
All in all it was a great trip. Wish we could have boated a skie, but hey, now we have something to work off of for next year.
Take care man,
Dave O'Toole

Paul,
I've been coming up to Northern Minnesota for the past 15 years for vacation and to
fish mostly. With some success on many of the smaller lakes in the area I've
struggled to get more than a bite or two in all the trips to Lake Vermillion.
After hearing of your Guiding Service, which seems to specialize in Lake Vermillion
outings, I was eager to set up the trip. Having brought along my son Shane, and
father-in-law Art, we were able to catch more than 40 walleyes. Three were 28"
or more, and most were 15" to 19", by far the best day of fishing on Lake Vermillion
for the group.
I can't say "Thank You" enough for your help in putting us on the fish!
Regards,
Steve Costello

Hi Paul,
Had to write and thank you for the awesome day on the lake. Had an absolute blast. Caught my personal best on vermilion with the 26" walleye followed by the 22" and 20" what a day!! And of course the sorting through the 14" to 17" inchers for the pan! I had knowledge of fishing, knew how to catch them, but had a hard time finding them, but your insight has made me alot better fisherman. I really appreciate all of your help on locations, presentation, and what to look for when searching for walleyes. I have taken your knowledge and am now able to go out on the big V and catch numbers of fish. I look forward to going out with you in the fall and learn some fall locations and techniques. Once again Thanks for the all your help and Great Day on the Big "V".

Paul,
Thanks for guiding us last week. I caught the two biggest fish of my life in
the same day thanks to you. I learned a lot and had a great time. Brandon
relayed the news to me about how to handle muskies once you land them. He told
me about keeping them in the water until the picture and also about holding them
horizontally and never to weigh them. I will definitely practice those tips
next time I'm up there so that I can release the fish in the healthiest and
most timely manner.
Thanks again for everything!
