Fished the lower end of Lake Pepin Saturday. The bite was slow but had 11 year old neighbor boy with me. He caught his first eye,smallmouth and of course a sheephead. Also caught some pearch, crappie and a carp. The look on his face when he would hook into a fish was pure thearpy for the soul. We cpred everything. If you haven’t taken a youngster fishing for awhile you owe it to yourself to do it. It’s what fishing is all about. 
Where were you fishing? I was on the lower end on Saturday afternoon too. I caught 8 and all were small. I had two others on but lost them. They felt a bit bigger, but nothing huge. It is slowly getting better down there. Good for you taking a little one fishing. We all remember when we were little and a nice adult took us.
We were in the Maple Springs area. I was going to fish by La-Caupolis but being it was Daltons first time out I thought it would be easier for him without fighting the current. Stopped and talked to Daltons dad last night. Dalton learned real quick. While we were fishing talked to 3 boats that were fishing the tourament. They all said they were having a tough time. Dalton took this that they were catching no fish. Now he’s telling everybody he outfished the pros. 
Kids are great. I forgot to mention for Rivereyes that he caught his carp on a superdoo. 
did you guys get the other fish on the super doos as well? I think I need to try those next time, I bought some but haven’t tried them as of yet…
YES Got one small sunfish and nice crappie. Think I blew it on that one, wasn’t paying attention, too worried about what what Dalton was doing with my Avid. Should have know better, we live in the coutry, by BUCK SNORT dam. This kid has got my old flyrod and fishes about 2 hours a night. I have a hard time with hooks over14 anymore but he canstill tye on a 24 midge for me. He will be an excellant fly tyer in another year
Ken,This kid is so fish crazy I cann’ot believe it. He comes up here just to read this forum. He read you were the king of the superdos and that was a big comliment to you. I will be ther for the big meet. I think you will have a boat load. 
I caught all of mine on hair jigs. Mostly around Stockholm and Pepin rock piles. Keeps getting better every week. Very light bighters on the hair though. The wind made it very tough. I know of one guy who trolled near Maiden Rock and had great success. Lower numbers but larger fish.
Art….
a fish crazy kid… sounds like me when I was that age…. probably a lot of us were the same.. Im STILL fish crazy…. as for King of the SuperDoo… 
Im still waiting to get my crown!
though I guess my Honey HAS threatened to crown me if I go fishing again before I get some stuff done around home!.. she was feedin me some bait and givin me a bit of line today…. trying to see if I was gonna gobble it up and go fishin… think if I had the locks might have been different when I got back!….
