Pineview? - addicted2fishin - 08-18-2020 Heading to Pineview tomorrow for a few days. I'll be taking the pontoon. I'm sure the family will want to spend the bulk of the time playing, but I plan on getting some fishing in as well. Where and how can I fish from a boat and find some success despite all the crowds and powerboaters that lake sees? I'm sure I can get a bunch of pan fish if I can find them, they aren't too difficult. What else is there and what can I do to target them? I'm not overly experienced with anything other than trout. Thanks. RE: Pineview? - Cowboypirate - 08-19-2020 I am sure better fish heads on this site will offer better advice, but if I was going to PV I would do the following... 1- get out early for my fishing fix cause once the power boats get to doing the whoopy-doos and the heat turns to burn your brain plus 5 degrees, the fish dont want to play nearly so bad and ya might as well go take a siesta or join the power squad with some water fun yourself 2- I would target panfish and small mouth. Perch are abundant and should give you some loving with a number of different bottom rigs that present a bait a few inches off the floor. Smaller crappie might also say hi if you want to play with a jig set up under a slip bobber and ajust to depth - a bit of sonar will help you there. Either of these techs could also net you a gill or sunfish. 3- If you are good at maneuvering the pontoon you can search the edges along the shore for smallies with a ned rig or a drop shot and they will oblige. Might need to chase them deeper as the sun comes up. Or if you really want some morning fun try a top bait - like a whopper plopper - a surface slam at sunrise from a big smallie is hard to beat, but that bite seems to disapear fast as the sun rises. 4- You can also just drop a gob of worms on the bottom for bullheads Good luck and post some fishy s photos to show us how you did RE: Pineview? - addicted2fishin - 08-19-2020 (08-19-2020, 12:01 AM)Cowboypirate Wrote: I am sure better fish heads on this site will offer better advice, but if I was going to PV I would do the following...Thanks. Hopefully we can get into something. We'll give it a try. Are there crayfish in there? |
