Mike/HOF and I went to Lake Pepin again today, but it was not as good as our last trip. With the howling winds and 2 foot waves, the bite was slight and they just wouldn’t hang on long enough for a hook set. Frustrated we ended up driving down to the dike road. Bang, Bang, Bang, one as fast as you could get it in. The majority were small, but managed to get a nice meal of decent sized fish. Two feet below the bobber with untipped mini-mites clobbered them. Again we both agreed that we are spoiled catching 9 inch bluegills, so several we tossed back, normally might have been kept. Color did not matter today. They were hungry.

Maybe you are trying to tell me something like forget the eyes and stay with the gill/crappies when the bite is hot. 
ORRRRRRRR ??? 
Have a great fall guys. 
Too bad the guys that put away the boat for hunting will miss the great panfish bite on Lake Zumbro or their own favorite body of water. When people ask me if I hunt I say ”sure do, I hunt for fish!”
