Hey Guys

Fished pine several times on early ice this year. Lots of panfish, with the majority being small to what i would consider average size at best. 4- 5 years ago the size of the gills were much larger. Lots to 7 1/2 and over 8 inches, but I have not seen that the last couple years. Lots of pressure may be the cause???

ANy way I have best luck catching the crappies in 14 -20 FOW, but they suspend around halfway down. Vex is very helpful. Also have done some tip up fishing and get a handful of pkie and an ocassional walley mixed in. Good lake to take kids in the summer. Lots of action and there is a lot of bullheads that will keep you busy when nothing else cooperates

I had a buddy that fished that lake all the time,he would get some dandy crappies but he would have to get there by 5:oo in the am. And they would last for maybe 1 hour. p.s he would have to fish them right on the bottom.

I fish Pine close to 75 days/ year. If you are talking big crappies - you must like them around 7 or 8 inches. I am sorry but I disagree about there being big crappies left. Maybe once in 3 or 4 times you will catch a nice one or two (around 10-11 inches). Too many people lower their standards and keep 6 - 7 inchers. The lake is best for bass in the summer. There are some nice northerns - but there again - if someone catches a 12-14 pounder they keep it?!?! What for? Too big to eat - too small to mount. Frustrating.

hey pax i caught numerous 10 to 13 inch crappies in the last 3 years including this year i use now bait just a little colored jig but i do agree with the people keeping the larger northern are u originaly from woodville i grew up there. do you have any luck with walleye there ?

[Pax]

I probably only got around 10 -15 all year. They were anywhere from 13 inches to 26 inches. Didn't keep any - I'd like to see it get productive for eyes again but I doubt that will ever happen. They should have put a slot for walleyes on the lake right away when they opened it. I am originally from Baldwin.

I AGREE BUT THAT IS 10 TO 15 MORE THEN I HAVE EVER CAUGHT THERE. REMEBER WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE NORTHERN NOT BEING RELEASED I FISHED THE LOCAL SPRING VALLEY TOURNEY THIS WEEKEND AND A GUY CAUGHT A 11LB NORTHERN NEXT TO US AND THIS THING WAS SO FAT WITH EGGS AND HE DIDNT THROW IT BACK WHAT A DISAP0INTMENT I CAUGHT WEIGHED AND RELEASED A MEASLY 1 1/2 LB BASS WICH WAS NOTHING BUT IN 5YEARS HES MINE.
