dads day p4 / pepin fun

hi the water on sunday for dads day i the green card from the fw and i was not about to let it pass me by i launched out of red wing around 12:30 and was going to chack out a couple spots in the river to see what was going on and was able to get a couple smaller fish around 15 inches pulling live bait so i decided to head down to the south end of the lake and see whats shaking down there first plan for down there was to pull cranks and well i never got to give my second idea a try cranks where the key for me jointed five and sevens and glass number sevens i started fishing the 12 to 13 foot range with some luck on getting some nice 13 to 15 inch sauger and eyes then it dawned on me i should be taking some pics so i can post a update went to grab me cam out of my tackle bow and yup left it on the dash of the truck so i thought i would give my cell phones cam a try on the next fish i moved to a lil deeper water hoping for some bigger fish and it didnt take very long and my planer board rod got after a a couple min the fish was behind the boat and in the net a solid 26 after a couple pics she went back thinking ok that was fun having marked that spot on the gps thought i would give her another pass this time the other rod slams back get that one to the net a nice 25.5 incher a few min after that got a nice 18 then my phone died was able to get one more big one around 26 and a couple around that 18 19 inch mark all and all a great fathers day on the water and still made it home in time for dinner with the wife and kids

Good day….

Awesome

Thanks for the report!

Nice to hear you found them. We couldn’t even buy a fish last weekend. Saturday we got on the river and worked it south or should I say were blown south. Picked up a were small saugers. Sunday worked about 7 miles of the lake and picked up two 20 inchers and one perch in the same spot. The rest of the day I just burnt gas. Woke up Monday morning and left for home. I guess that’s why it’s called fishing

Sounds like a great day on the water, and still getting home for supper to keep the wife happy…
