Pineview 9/23

[JArner]

I had the opportunity to head out on Pineview with Thor from Zero Baits on Wednesday (9/23) looking to gain some insight to the crappie population. We started out looking around his favorite points for structure or slopes that might hold them. 

Found some decent ones in 20’ of water and they were around 15’ down. The bite was light but we managed a few decent ones. Using jig heads with his zero and sub zero pods for the plastic trailer. 

We searched some nearby areas for bass but didn’t find much action. Thor did manage to pick up one 14” smallie. I picked up a 12-ish cat on a Ned rig. 

Left those spots in search of some bluegill. We found active smaller crappie and some bluegill in 26’ feet of water and the fish were between 5’ and 12’ down. This time the bites were more of a negative bite. We were vertical jigging and if the line didn’t go tight you set the hook. 

Overall an enjoyable day on the water and some food for the table.
