I’ll be heading for Pepin next Thursday, and it will be our first time there. We’ll be targeting walleyes and maybe panfish. If anyone could help out with general areas to fish or baits, it would be appreciated. I know there was a guy posting over at Iowa Outdoors that would be interested as well.
Targeting rip rap rock areas,casting bucktails & #7 flickershad or rapalas is a good place to start.
I think my boat is going to be happy to see me again. I love fall! 
What are some of the HOT crank bait colors for Oct? Heading up that way the second week of Oct. Will have the wife so casting isn’t that great of a idea 
Jigging would work though 
1 Firetiger
2 Firetiger
3 Firetiger
4 Blue/siver
5 gold
6 Firetiger
Ya might try firetiger….just sayin. 
Know what, I may try firetiger Dean, make sure you have a couple on hand
In the time frame of your trip I would look at rip rap areas with deeper water close by. Casting plastics, hair jigs, and crank baits will all put fish in the boat. Use the cranks as a search bait until walleye are found then slow down with jigs once they quit biting on the cranks.
Lot of water out there and cranks will help you elminate a lot of it quickly
Thank you Dustin, I’ll get out my Hot map and see if I can find some areas you speak of. I’ve only fished the pool twice so still learning lots
