Lake City Reports??

Any reports from Pepin? Sure has been quiet.

I haven’t been out on Pepin for couple of weeks but had good fishing then. I will be back up there on friday for the weekend. And can let you know then but you will probably already know.

Its been so windy that few people have been hitting the lake. I can’t even remember a day when the wind wasn’t blowing 25 mph+. And that will keep lake traffic awfully light.

It is a shame too because windy days can be awfully good on the lake…..only not quite this windy.

I am gonna be giving the lake a good once over as soon as I get the chance, probably this weekend. I will post what I find.

Here is my latest report as of May 19, 2007.

A friend and I headed down to Lake Pepin. We started off by hitting Hak-So-La Park Point working the break line. I caught one nice crappie. Went south to Digger’s Point and caught nothing. We went further south and fished the rocky shore by the Lake City Marina and used the electric trolling motor to maneuver around. When we got to the second pier, my fishing pole had a big whack! It was a nice 17 inch sauger caught in 23 fow.

Next, we headed for Roschen boat landing and checked out the break line. Nothing once again, so it was time to head north. We tried the break line from Hanson’s Harbor down to long point. I caught another nice sauger in 9 fow. My friend also nailed a sauger as well. Right in front of the white house I caught a 25 inch northern on a chartreuse jig head with a translucent speckled green ringworm tipped with a minnow. We also caught a lot of sheepies here as well. I caught another nice crappie just south of Long Point. Our final stop of the day was the Maiden Rock Flats. All that we caught here were those dreaded sheepies.

So we caught two nice crappies, three nice saugers, one nice northern, and several sheepies. The crappies and saugers bit on a chartreuse Phelp’s Floater with about a three foot leader tipped with a minnow.

Have been having good luck working the 12-18 fow depths
with a three-way.

Myself and a friend went over the weekend and did just fine. Started out by Roschen boat landing staying between 12 to 15feet using a 3-way and a lindie rig. Caught 4 eyes in about an hour. From there headed out in front of the dairy queen area, and lead line them only catching 2 at 15 to 20feet. The hot spot was at by Hak-So-La boat launch working the break line alone the riprap lead lineing, 15 to 20 feet using a Rapala SR7 Bleeding Olive Flash. The fish hammard us, 9 fish were kept , with 3 throw backs . Smallest was 16 1/2 and 20 inch was the longest. It was a very good day. The fishing is picking up, but at a slow pace
