Hey there,

Went to Pepin on Saturday. What a gorgeous day to be on the water! Fish didn't cooperate whatsoever!!! Everyone seemed to be having a tough go at it. It was kinda frustrating. Did go down river about 8 miles (almost ran out of gas!) and found some carp....and I managed to have my bow along...shot two biggins. That's always fun. Where do people catch most of the bass and northerns around there?

Hey, glad to hear you found the carp. How big? were there still a lot of fish sitting in the willows?

I've fished mainly walleye out there, but started targeting bass more this year on Pepin... A lot of people target the MN shoreline from Lake City down for smallies and northern. Also, try the WI shoreline over by Pepin city down... If your into exploring, the backwaters down by Wabasha hold some good bass and pike. There is a ton of backwater areas though and I'm not very familiar with them. I know people fish that area for bass though and it seems as though it would be good for pike as well...

Hey thanks for the info.....i'll know for next time! I would have loved to catch some eyes out there but they just didn't want to cooperate...we went straight across from the boat dock to the WI side and trolled crankbaits...with no luck...trolled around the fishing pier...no luck. Were we in the right areas?

The biggest carp of the two I shot was about 15 pounds. Yeah they are still in there. I don't think they've spawned yet....that's just what it seemed like to me...couple more weeks of good shooting!!!

      My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
