Nice sight really looks like you take care of it. No post since last year. Good luck with you compition

Roller gates down...fishing good, not great..purple hair jig tipped with fattie, water still high worked best today.

Fishing is very good from the Vermillion on up to the dam..finding little nooks in the wood and working shallow sand bar drops is very effective now.

I like anchoring when control neccesitates it and when I anchor I drop a second line overboard cinched up tight to bottom with a fireball jig and fathead....lately 5/16th gets the job done.

Fishing is hot now...did great yesterday...drop in for details, will post more later. Hootch

get here now !!

Dirty, high, cold water here in the Wing..the worst condition for any kind of fishing.

Lots of debris also...we'd love to have you in the store, but the fishing is extremely tough in these conditions.

I Pepin's ice will be hitting Alma, if not already and by the time it passes through Whitman, Winona and Trempeleau it should be fisheable.

We need your business and thank you for viewing our site, but I recommend Dresbach at La Crosse for your best bet.

Check back in 5 days and I'll update. Hootch

When you drop by the store be sure to check out the Roach 6'2" walleye rods, I'd compare them to loomis or St Croix anyday at $150 less.

We're open at 6:00 everyday and we have the area's best parking faccility, easy in easy out.

Big walleyes are cruising the shallows at the crack of day and an hour before dark. White 1/8 to 1/4 oz. hair jigs tipped with a fathead are good.

Fishing isn't hot for numbers, but this is trophy time. the melt is now and the run will be in full force within the next two weeks.

Runoff is going to be steady all week, so make the trip now before the main rush comes.

Several 9 to 11 pound fish have been caught in the last 10 days.

Big walleyes are being caught right now..ice fishing is good also..here in Red Wing and up and down the points and harbors along Lake Pepin. More to follow. Hootch

Big walleyes are moving up.

hey everyone, 4 seasons is having a huge beretta clearance sale. i promise you that you wont find a better price on a new beretta anywhere else.

The bite couldn't be any better, get here now before the weather shifts, fish are taking everything offered. From the Vermillion upstream to the dam and below the high bridge, mostly saugers of all sizes.

The bite at the dam started a couple weeks ago and has been hot and cold but those who perservere usually take fish every outing. Jigs, 3 way orange phelps 1 1/2 oz with fathead working well, along with blade baits and some plastics.
Water is low and the current is slow so boat control in low winds is excellent.

This week should be very good here as temperatures continue to rise in the next couple days.

We've web problems the last few months, so I apologize to those trying to get through.

Get here now

Northern Pike bite is excellent right now on Lake Pepin at the mouth of the Rush River and Pine Creek. Some of our customers say they have been caughting Northerns 36-42 in. on Red Eye spoons and suckers. We have HUGE decoy suckers in too, if you want to try for the monster Northerns.

I fished the river last friday and picked up a couple 16-19 in. walleyes and a few small saugers. We were trolling in about 12-14 ft. of water in the Maiden Rock Flats and down by Long Point, pulling mostly jointed shad raps and grappler shads. The bite has slowed down a little but you can still catch fish trolling down on Lake Pepin.

Walleyes and Sand Pike (sauger) biting quite well up and down the entire Pepin system. Rigging leeches with Phelps floaters along with pulling jointed cranks like 5 HT and purpledescent, parrot has been producing very well in the Maiden Rock flats.

The Cotton Cordell jointed Grappler shad has been a very good walleye getter too as of late.

Really nice big crappies up to 2 pounds are being trolled up in the same areas.

Some really nice schools (crappies) are being graphed out there, but they remain virtualy unfished, if you see these schools, toss a marker and run a slip bobber 5 feet down with a panfish jig, I don't see anyone eles doing it.

Bluegills are being caught consistently
in the wood (cubby mini mite jigs) color unimportant...

Any small live bait works great for
them too.

Many nice trout have been reported from the Rush and Hay Creek....one whopper 9# 3oz. from the Cannon right here in our backyard.

got this one on the minnesota river. 27# flat head.

Another shot of Branson, pretty much testing this site.

Fishing below the dam in Taneycomo, Branson, MO

If you vacation in Branson MO, try Tanycomo for Brown Trout. They run from 12" to 30+ pound (rare)
