Pepin (foot of the lake)

Anyone ever try for panfish bellow Pepin(the town) and have any success? I realize there is an ice fishing contest put on here every year but by what I understand they don’t catch much. I’ve tried it out here twice now with marginal results landing only a handful of fish mostly small ones. It’s a large area that seems to be almost untouched with no reason not to hold fish like the backwaters not to far downstream. This area just seems to baffle me there is very little structure and it just seems to be a featureless slopeing area acording to the maps. Prettymuch I’m looking for a few ideas or jumping off points because mine didn’t work out with the desired results.
Send me a message if you preffer.

There are good panfish to be had on pepin! very few people fish for them! very few know where to go! think deeper rock! and they will be close by! youll have to find them from there! it took me way to many years to find ou how to fish them to just spill the beans!
