I read the press release from the FLW pool 4 tourney. There were a few pro’s that refered to PIG point. I have fished Pepin for several years I’m sure I have fished this spot ,but I don’t know it by that name. Can someone fill me in on the real name. I read he was hitting DQ point , long point, and pig . I’m just not sure wich one is Pig point. Thanks for any info you can give.

Don’t take this personally Mr. Jig Fan, because it’s not aimed at anyone person.
I’ve been hanging in the bait shop for over 2 years now and still couldn’t tell anyone where it is.
However when folks ask in the public forums where “spots” are, your likely to hear crickets. It’s kinda like asking someone on line where they get their morel mushrooms. Or where they buried their coffee can of cash. (Everyone still does that right?)
There are lots of places just as good as the ones mentioned…and once a person finds one, I’m going to bet a quarter they won’t be posted any place on the net…until a few tourneys are won there.
May 13, 2009 at 2:23 am #776244In MY opinion the only reason he posted where it is, is because he only fishes there a few times a year, and it doesnt matter to him the rest of the year. For us locals that like to fish that spot or any spot for that matter tend to keep things quiet so we have a chance to fish those spots when we want to and not have 15 boats on them to deal with.
Once again just MY OWN opinionMay 13, 2009 at 4:41 am #776278I dont think Ted knew where it was before Day 1 either so dont feel bad for asking… I miss the old days when we didnt have to go out at 4 in the morning to go fishing. Only good thing about going out that early is I may get lucky and see BK out prowling around.

WOW, you have a very strange idea of what luck is!!!!!!!!!!
May 13, 2009 at 10:13 am #7762854:30 in the morning and already ripping on me!
You be nice Stuart or I’m going to sent the FW over there.
May 13, 2009 at 2:01 pm #776327I am wondering why everyone assumes that “Ted” didn’t know any of these spots. Do you think these “pros” have never fished the river before. I don’t think you understand what they do for preparation to fish these tournaments. After prefishing with some of them you have a lot better understanding that this is not all fun and games. I for one am very dedicated to walleye fishing, but these guys are on another level.
As far as “pigs point,” you can buy a variety of maps that will give you gps quardanents right to the spot. I only fish Mille Lacs a few times a year and those gps maps help me immensely. How do you think that the locals there feel about those maps? Probably about the same way us here feel about the river “spots” getting out. We are all in the same boat.
The thing I really find to be interesting is that people on this site preach to be secretive about certain fishing spots, and then the first chance they get on tv and they run around showing everyone exactly where those spots are.May 13, 2009 at 11:47 pm #776540Quote:

Believe me, he did…plus about 100 other spots between LD3 and LD4… Ted and many pro’s are so well connected all they do is make a couple phone calls and they can get all the info they need to game plan their prefish.
May 14, 2009 at 1:03 am #776561Money talks, hire a guide. I see them on Pig Point all the time with clients, cant be to secret.
May 14, 2009 at 2:34 am #776591(<<< is really biting his tongue hard)
is my opinion
Not everyone knows where Pigs Point is and alot of the big name PRO’S dont even know where Pigs Point is. They may know the point but not by name. In my own honest opinion
May 14, 2009 at 9:41 am #776633OK Now that everyone knows where PIG POINT is,will some one give us directions to Fat lady walking,Burnt log and Pusshy point??
May 14, 2009 at 1:48 pm #776704Thank you Stuart!
and it is Pu$$y lane actually in my book but were on the same page! There are MANY MANY more spots out there guys…..yup the inflamous “pigs point” does hold fish…but just a heads up many of those fish refered to being caught on Pigs point were not caught on the point….just something for everyone to think about for the day.
Hey Stuart you been to “[censored] house” as of late?
May 14, 2009 at 2:29 pm #776722Come on, everyone knows pigs point is down below the Wabasha bridge.
Damn internet, now everybody knows everything.
BK, have you been up to “bad log slough” with your chainsaw this year-think I saw the GPS coordinates for that cut on the latest hot spots map.Jeremy

Chainsaw? In BK’s possession? Now that sounds dangerous.
May 14, 2009 at 4:25 pm #776756You mean BK drives the boat and than points and tells Jim where to cut next right
May 14, 2009 at 5:03 pm #776781I’m not allowed to get within 10 feet of a drill much less a chain saw.
If the guys fishing the FLW would know how to use a bullhead the weights and winners would have turned out much different.
But I’m just the lowly stereotype stink bait guy…what do I know?

and Pusshy point??
I think that ones up on P2 next to the old rr bridge that was just torn down….. Oops, sorry I didnt see the h in thereMay 14, 2009 at 6:03 pm #776797…and another thing. Doc, you shut your trap about bad log slough…or I’ll let the word out about Everts Dock.
May 14, 2009 at 7:30 pm #776829I’ll be good unless someone posts the GPS coordinates of the dock–plus, there is a very special technique used to catch those fish that very few even know about.
May 15, 2009 at 2:22 am #776909Now that everyone knows where Pigs Point is, does everyone know how to fish it? or do we have to ask the founder of this spot Ted
(Just my opinion)
May 15, 2009 at 12:23 pm #776940You guys keep getting all sensitive about these “secret spots”.
Maybe the MNDNR should be shut down because they drafted the telemetry study on Pepin?They are community spots and have been long before this site or the internet has been around.
If you dig into fishing archives, you’ll find there is a full assortment of paper maps a guy can buy that will tell you “where & when” to fish spots on Pepin.Just got to know how to fish for river/reservoir walleyes to catch them on Pepin. It isn’t the same as fishing The St. Croix, which is different than fishing Mille Lacs, which is different than Leech, which is different than Lake of the Woods.
Get it?
May 15, 2009 at 11:18 pm #777181I believe Dustin and James actually filmed a fall video from this area or close to it.
May 16, 2009 at 3:06 am #777214Good lord, somebody please end this thread. Let’s all get off of the computer and go fishing. PLEASE. That’s what we are all here to do.
