    Are the whites still schooling in Lake Pepin? Had good luck with them up until about mid august, since then I’ve been getting skunked 3-4 times.

    I usually shore fish from Lake City, Stockholm, & Pepin Marina. The last few times I have not seen any seagull flocks either, one time there were a group of eagles but looks like they had no luck either, just hovering above shore.

    I drive 2 hours (about $25 round trip) to Lake Pepin to fish for white bass and not sure if it is worth it anymore at this point of the season. Are they still schooling around? Has their patterns differ from the hot summer days? Would appreciate any tips or spots for one last trip until ice break next year. Preferable a shore spot but I do have a friend with a boat.

    Thanks. I’ve been a long time lurker here, finally had to register to get find help locating those whites that have been so evasive as of late.

    I waa up there about two weeks ago and had a really hard time finding them. Only saw the gulls diving one day down by the end of the lake. The rest of the time we fished the whole lake from top to bottom and both sides and didn’t have much success at all. What I did see was people anchored on the break lines catching a TON of bluegills. In all my years of fishing Pepin I have never seen so many gills caught by so many people in so many different places.
    Since that was two weeks ago i don’t know if it applies to right now. Good luck anyway, hope you find some.
