Nice work James and Joel, and also thanks! Me and a buddy put a lot of fish in the boat using this technique, learned because of you guys! Trolled by a lot of guys who said they had only caught one or two fish casing to the willows. We'd just laugh...
It is that time of year again! With a couple more warm days the fish should be on this bite again. I know James and Joel plan to check it out later this week.
Thanks for videos
If you like practicing reeling in fish ... Hilarious !!!! just subscribed
Nov 17 is the start of our broadcast season on FSN. All shows will be posted here same day.
I just might try that on the Koshganog this weekend it might be hard because everybody and their brother is going to be on that lake.
To all those asking about 4 lines I live in MN and since it borders Wisc you can have 2 lines per person out inland waters only 1 line
I live in Wisconsin and we can have 3 lines per person on most bodies of water. this helps when ice fishing for northerns.
Do you think this would work on a lake like Green Bay? I've never thought about going this fast for walleyes. But after last year with all the dang Sheepshead I'd be willing to give it a try.
Each angler holding a MN license may fish 2 lines on Lake Pepin. It is a border water under special regs.
Do you troll down stream or is it strictly up stream. As I don't have a fishing partner at this time it'd be hard to handle the boat and land fish at the same time goin up stream.
It always depends on the other conditions we are faced with, but yes we go up and downstream. Boat control is a huge priority, and with more practice by yourself you will have it down in no time.
You guys have any luck trolling deeper or mainly stick to 7-10? thanks for the great vid!
Gonna fish peppin with my dad soon. How's the best way to fish them in this fall transition. It will be on October 8th
When the wind is blowing in the fish can be right on the rocks. You'll need to be aware of private property and all that but yeah, if you can get to the fish, you'll be able to catch them on the same crankbaits.
What would your set up be on Lake Erie going in deeper water. Fishing down from 30 -60 ft. down. Not a #5 shad rap I am guessing . Thanks for the advise every little bid helps to us guys that are casual fishing.

Could do a 5 shad rap with a down rigger, id go a bit bigger though
I have caught a bigger walleye in the detroit river it was 6 1/2 pound. But it still was an awsome fish
How do you guys have 4 lines out? I thought the DNR allowed 1 line per person
Yes, but mostly in the winter.
Got my biggest eye out there. 27.5" but was a very fat 9.5 pounds. I was 12 at the time! Great place to fish!!
what lures/raps do you use when you fish for walleye im curious i just use shiners and jigs and catch a crap ton
+Kai shad raps and scatter raps. That's what we use but shiners are killer aswell
Troy Zajac what depth do you usually catch your walleye at? mine in 7-10 ft
James/Joel where is the best place to launch for hitting this stretch of lake Pepin? Is that a little bit of a run from Colville?
Michael Towle Colville or Hok si La would be my choice for launches.
Nice fish, James. Would it be possible to catch these fish from the shore?
when are u guys coming out with the next episode on youtube?
Do you guys ever use Custom jigs and spins?
Great stuff guys,what rods were you using in this episode?
First time watching your Videos and I love them Very good. I'm Hooked! When you say a #5 shad Rapp there a lot od different versions can you tell me more specific on what your using. Deep or shallow and so on. I looked in Cabela's and it was confusing on what shads to use
#5 is the symbol for the size. when you buy a shad rap, on the flap at the top of the box it will say S0-5 S0-7 and so on. the number is the size. they are using deep shad raps as you can indicate by the size and appearance of the lip. the color they are using is orange craw. I happen to live on the Wisconsin side about 15 miles from lake Pepin. I hope you read this and it helps you.
How is the mx2025 working out for you? Why the mx over the wx?
Looked like pretty dirty water - do you tie your braid right to your cranks or were you using a flouro leader of some kind? Great video guys!
I always tie cranks directly to braid, cleaner running IMO. Use power pro for my trolling lines.
What make and size is your boat.
We fish out of various size Skeeter Boats at this time, but our main boat is a WX2190.
First time I’ve watched your videos,very informative. Does your trolling speed have all to do with how you get your lure at a certain depth?
I think you're on to it. They made a statement that it was the speed that made the white bass and drum not hit it. I chuckled. They're speeding up and getting the baits below them and down to the walleye. If they put on a flicker minnow or tail dancer they could troll at 1.5- 2 mph
Speed has nothing to do with depth. Line length and diameter as he mentioned does. If you watch how Precision Trolling tests cranks it has a good explanation. The speed triggers the more aggressive male fish which is why they are mostly smaller.
How can you troll 4 or more rods without getting tangled.
Proper placement of the rods and the length of line you are running really helps keep messes to a minimum.
+InDepthOutdoorsTV Thank you, I don't know much about walleye.
Planer boards really help
Nice walleyed
Can you fish 2lines per guy in the summer in Minnesota!?!
Not legally :)
It would depend on which license they have. If they have a Wisconsin license then yes they can fish the regulations that Wisconsin has; while if they had a Minnesota license they'd have to fish Minnesota regulations. On the Mississippi which lake pepin is a part of the state line in regards to fishing goes to the opposite shore railroad tracks. So if you want to fish more lines on any given sunday, then purchase a 3 day license from Wisconsin and you can fish both sides of the river/lake.
Matt Weinhagen Lake Pepin is a Border Water. It is legal for Minnesota Anglers with a Minnesota license to fish two lines on open Water.
How do you know how fast to go?
Experiment, Start slow and work your way up in speed on each pass. The other day I was trolling at 2.5 and was catching nothing, slowed to just under 2 and bam bam and bam there they were. Other days I'd go to 3.25 and get them.
There isn't a specific recipe but you can get a starting point depending on water temp/location. If you're a newbie on the body of water, start high (3.5-4 mph if high temps and, depending on area) and work your way down. Or start slow, very slow, and work your way up. Have confidence in the presentation and keep at it. Baits need to be wobbling and diving. If you're marking fish and no bites, moderately change the presentation till it happens. Keep a note pad in the boat and write down whatever you think is relevant. After a few times out look for patterns and adjust accordingly.
I have found that jerk trolling with husky jerks anywhere from 2.5 mph to 3.5 mph is deadly in northern Ontario....the higher speed allows you to cover more area and the constant jerking causes the lure to dart forward and then stop and dart forward.....irressistable to walleye...often hit as the lure stops
this method has increased my strikes and catches by quantums
PS I use a 19ft boston whaler with a 150hp Yamaha 4 stroke (I also have an 8hp 4 stroke trolling motor and a bow-mount gps electric motor). But i use the 150hp exclusively for jerk trolling with raps!!
In Minnesota, you can only have ONE rod/reel/hook per person during fishing season. (You can have 2 in ice fishing...)
We were fishing Lake Pepin on the MN/WI border which allows two lines per person.
Ok. Good to know.
all I catch is white bass when I speed troll shad raps!
Run a deeper lure. Try a flicker minnow, tail dancer, reef runner, etc. Something that will get you down 14' or more and dont be afraid to bump bottom. White bass and walleye are often in the same areas but the walleye usually hug bottom and the bass are suspended
If you want walleye go to lake erie and troll with night crawler arnaist trust me
Love your videos but how many edit splices or takes you boys need in this one!! was overly evident the "production" over powered the legit fishing... way too many "cuts, splices and edits" way too choppy!
not sure i would eat any fish from the Mississippi south of st. cloud... too much lead and mercury poison in the water.
dude I wouldn't eat fish in the mississippi if I was at the mouth in itasca. It's a shame what we've allowed the river to become septic.
