Ok. So I'm launching out of the launch by the Pickle Factory. 20 foot Ranger.  I had seen to launch on the north lane as the south lane has big ruts or as they say axle scrapers.  Is this true...thx for any info on this.

tjk50.  Thank you. 

Fireman, sorry just saw this post now. I’ve been doin good goin out of Pepin and fishing the shoreline on Minnesota side anywhere from 12-18fow pulling spinners. There are a lot of wing dams down stream around reads landings n all the way down river. Good luck 

I never fished Lake Pepin before.  Looking to get on some Waldos.  Launching out of Pepin by the Pickle Factory.  Can anyone give be a direction to go out if there to find Waldo.  I don't need your exact location.  Just an idea where to start.  Wing Dams?  Mud flats? Rock sand or weeds?  Thanks for the info.  PM me if you like.  Thank you.

Hello-staying over by Lake City this weekend for a wedding and would like to try a little fishing.  I have never been on this body of water, so I would appreciate any help you would be willing to give.  Not too fussy on what I catch as long as it puts a bend in the rod.  I usually chase crappies, panfish, or walleye but I am open to anything.

Anything you can give me on baits or presentation or depths to start looking for would be great.  I usually do a lot of jigging, but certainly am open to other options.

Thanks in advance and have a good day.

Fished out on Pepin few hours Thursday and aFriday. Trolled baits around Maiden Rock and Rush River area. Handful of shorts, 3 over 20” (all walleyes no Saugers)  , 2 nice perch and couple big whites, and a few goats.

Love this area and wish I could get there more often. 

Perch pattern baits caught most fish.

Peace and Good Fishing!!!
