There is a GREAT leadcore bite in progress out on Pepin!
I had a chance to take two of my graduating students out for the afternoon today. Our rain-shortened 4-hour trip ended with 9 nice 16-20" fish for the box, a thick 22" sauger released, and a bunch of shorts, goats, and stripers. Katie and Jon are shown here with a couple of 19-20" walleyes that they harvested for an upcoming graduation celebration.
There is fantastic water clarity in the middle-lower end of the lake.....I'd say in the neighborhood of 4 feet. That pushed our most active bite into 20-22', even with solid overcast, rain, and steady wind and rollers. Bright colors, 2.5-3 mph, in areas with good wind/wave action rolling in.
With temps just reaching 70, this bite should keep on gaining steam for a several weeks yet. Get out and enjoy!

Sounds like a fun wet few hours.

There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.

Any particular colors or patterns that stand out more than the others Jason. My wife and I will be in Lake City friday through sunday and was wondering if you fished the Stockholm and deer island areas?

I fished a variety of areas looking for the most active bite. I ended up focusing on two areas (very convenient to Lake City, I will add...) that had good wind and wave action pouring into them.
With the cloudy skies, all of my fish came on bright patterns yesterday....colors in the firetiger family were a good starting point.

So, if I would have graduated from UW-EC rather than UW-P I could have gotten a free pool 4 fishing trip?????
I went to the wrong University.
Great job fishing and thanks for the PM-it worked.
