I personally have not had a chance to get down recently, but I speak with parties every day that have been down to this part of the lake.

Your raps are the ticket right now, but be ready to do some color changing if your stand-by doesn't work. I'd be sure to have some sticks along and certainly entertain the live bait too, especially on the spinner rigs. Dragging the cranks though is preferable.

Straight across from Lake City and points downstream are also going great guns for the trollers. Basically everyone I have spoken with that have been down to Pepin fishing this week have do well, regardless of the presentation. The trollers though are apparently doing very well. Look for the breaklines down to 15 feet. The flats are doing well along the willows when the wind is blowing into them....gets a little rough though.

If the temps and weather cooperate the fishing should hold together pretty well now.
