Congrats James. I have seen every episode and we have had quite a few conversations over the years. I am super happy for you and your family. May god bless you and your family on your journey.

Anybody?

Thank you everyone! I really appreciate it.. Should be an interesting drive this afternoon for sure.

I am coming from MN so this is very helpful thank you!

Thank you Dan… Much appreciated.. I am hoping that there will be a few more inches of ice by next weekend.

Thanks much appreciated

I don’t know any of the lakes… going in blind thus me posting asking for help

Thanks man looking forward to it

Navionics for the most part has them marked.

I own 4 TUCR and 3 St Croix… Never even took the Croix out this last winter.

Thanks everyone. I watch Tom’s videos quite a bit so this all for sure helps!

Perfect thank you man.. Much appreciated. Good luck this weekend!

I have been going to Pepin for 5 years and all I can say is location, location, location. I find that the population here hasn’t suffered just has changed. You have to stay mobile and find them like anywhere.

Thomas – I also like perch just maybe not naked could get burned.. Lol

I was there on Sunday and I saw no trucks. I was there from 6am – 7pm and the only truck I saw on ice was on by only far enough to get unloaded. I did see a small SUV drive out maybe to the 7ft deep mark but that was it. I took my snowmobile out to the 17ft depth and tried drilling out there and was on 4″

I was just there last weekend and the ice at max had 9-10 inches. Saw no trucks on ice and that would be ill advised. Fishing is extremely slow.

Appreciate that…. not looking to drive on it but take the snowmobile or atv. Anybody doing that?

Great stuff thanks guys

She blushed thank you for making her day!

Thank you sir!

LSF? Yeah I follow him religiously and is really fun to follow. Thank you for the response.

It has been used a handful of times and comes with a spare battery so at the least 275

Was there on Monday and caught some nice crappie in about 14′ of water with some perch mixed in. Nubbinbuck is right on the money as far as where and I wouldn’t drive out there.

I appreciate that Brian…. its amazing what a little forum will stir up and who will be stirred up.

Striker Climate!

Wow! I am sure you have been hearing this a lot but I am very sorry to hear that happened.

Relax man… everyone knows a bite lasts only a short time. Did you ream Outdoors News for their latest fishing report that is posted on a much bigger forum than this? http://www.outdoornews.com/Minnesota/Fishing-Reports/
Scroll down and read the latest update from Red Wing. They also give depths, area fished, and they even talk species.

I was surprised that I didn’t either actually.

Update for Pepin… caught 32 crappie and kept 8. I released a 14″ crappie kept the 10″… Caught 5 striped bass and kept 2… no walleye/sauger. I was in 14′ of water and had to keep moving and changing presentations/lures all day. Best bite was around 3:30.

Thank you for the help… so far 4 crappies and a white bass

Nice fish Dave… Picking up a few today!
