Fished Lake Pepin today. The water was the highest I have seen it this year. I launched at the Park in lake city, and you had to wade through about 8 inches of water to get to the loading docks. Fishing was much slower than normal, trolling crankbaits. Caught 4 Sauger and 2 13in walleye.
(released them all). Did see some fair smallmouth action in rip-rap areas. Did any one else fish Pepin today?

Looks like the Twins and me both are going to win this fall!

I went with the garmin map76 a couple of years ago. It works great for me. I use it in the boat, in the car, and use it a lot for hiking. It works great for hiking, being portable. I can just mark the position of the truck, turn it off, and take off through the woods. When I get ready to come back I just turn it on once in a while and it leads me within 30 feet of the truck. In the car, you can plug it into a laptop, and use a regular map program. The gps will show up on the map software as a pointer. I like the larger screen of a laptop for long trips. I think the big thing is to get a garmin, and get as much memory as you can for downloading maps. I believe the map76s has more memory than the map76.. Hope this helps anyone in the market for a gps..

Life is soo good..

Maybe we could come up with a way to shoot a crankbait out with the shot? Kill the duck and then reel in the fish.

I love duck hunting, but since I don’t have a dog yet, I will probably fish. I would probably get me and my boat stuck in the mud..

I recently joined the website, and sure hope I get a chance to go night fishing on mille lacs..
Thanks, James whoever wins should have a blast!
