Hot Lake Pepin Trolling Bite

This bite is NOW so if you’re looking to get in on some fast paced action be sure to check out the latest IDO video showing how to put the hammer down and some nice walleye in the net!

No issues at all. Business as usual.

I hate these videos! Every time I watch one it makes me think, “That looks easy, I can do that!” Then I get down there and reality strikes. I have proven on multiple locations that it isn’t impossible to “not to load the boat (with eaters)” Great work men!

Hey Ocean… nothing’s impossible man! And this is one of those bites, if it ever was going to happen, this is it.

Glad you like the vids. As long as the guys keep watching, we’ll keep knocking them out.

OK…you twisted my arm. I will be down on Monday to try it out. It will be my maiden voyage with my new SI unit. Should be a fun day of scanning if nothing else.

X2. I watch these and think, heck, I could do that! And then…not so much. But I love watching these videos, and really appreciate the great tips, James. Even if my buddy and I have always said, that James, he could catch walleye in a dry bathtub! Keep up the good work.

X2 exactly

Without asking for spots can someone tell me if I should avoid the upper, lower or middle? Otherwise I have an idea where to go around Pepin.

Lake city area been ok for me. Sounds like guys are also doing well at head of lake by can line etc.

What happened to this video? It’s only 2 months or so away and wanted a refresher.

It’s there for me Francis.
