River?

Just wondering if anyone has been on the upper part of pool 4 or lake Pepin in the last few days?? My biggest concern is the water clarity and what it has turned into in the last 2 days. I’ve not been on the water since sat and will be heading up tomorrow night. Just trying to narrow down potential areas to fish.

Thanks!

Hey Dustin, I was out Sunday. Pulled cranks on the upper end of the lake. It was’nt on fire but I did put 13 in the boat in 4 hrs. See you on the water…..Kerry

Hi Dustin,
I trolled around Maiden Rock for awhile and the water was pretty stained. We picked up a few, noticed that jointed cranks producing a little bit more noise helped. I wonder if putting a big Colorado blade ahead of a crank would help dialing em in?

Lots of small debis in the water. Keeps a guy focused when he’s running anyway.

Heard that some were having some luck with leeches around the Bay City Flats area. Water has been pretty muddy, finding cleaner water is probably the ticket.

Wonder if the backwater is the place to be at this time. Going to give it a go this weekend.

Good Luck

Dustin I fished pepin monday only got 10-12 fish. The biggest was 20-1/2 inch walleye. Lost 2 good size one’s. Alot of bass boats out prefishing, they start wed. out of redwing I believe. I was useing a brass colored spinner and a minnow. Alot of small branches,water pretty brown.

Life’s to short to fish with dead minnows! Jim

Hey Dustin just follow the BASS Boats the guys I have talked to are slamming some hogs.
look for a blue and black ranger with a EVINRUDE on the back and the driver will be wearing shorts with no shirt and you will know you are in the right spot.
good luck

Thanks for all the info guys! I am heading out in just a bit and will have a report thurs night to share with all of you.

See ya on the lake!
