Dan the man and Mr. Slayer went on Lake Pepin today to check out the local walleye bite. From all of the latest reports it sounds like it has been the dead sea lately 
. Well my friends, we proved everyone wrong 
. Right off the bat I caught a dandy 19 incher on a night crawler with a chartreuse colored hook about three foot off of the bottom in about 7 feet of water 
. Five minutes later his bigger brother (21 incher) decided to bite on my other pole rigged with a chartreuse/green colored Phelps floater, again about three foot off the bottom 
. After the two nice walleyes we found ourselves in schools of nice sunfish and also some very nice perch. Unfortunately, we caught a few sheepies 
, but only about five all together. We tried a few different hot spots, but we just caught perch, sunnies, and a few sheepies. Towards 2 pm we went back to where we were at the beginning of the day. Wouldn’t you know it; I caught two more nice sized brothers of the first two walleyes but this time in 14.5 ft of water 
. And man what a gorgeous day to be on the water. Thanks Dan, when are we going again 
? We didn’t catch any saugers at all today . The water was very clear today and also shallow 
. Keep those motors up until you get in deeper water!!!
