There are very few lakes near hammond. The only one worth fishing, that is close, is Pine lake north of Baldwin. You will find some nice pan fish here. The bite has slowed down in the past week or so but if you go there in the afternoon just before dark, you should do all right. Fish away from the shacks and commotion. Noise will spook these fish. Try to fish 15-18 fow and use small glow jigs with waxies. A vexlar is a must. Spring bobber as well. They bite very light. Some times you don't even know you have one on. You can also give Glen Lake in Spring Valley a try but that's pushing 20 miles.

I tried Pine Lake today for the first time. I fished from 11-5 on the north end (near the shacks). It was frustrating. You could tell the fish were there (vexliar), but they just wouldn't bite. I will probably try again, only in a different spot. Anyone else have any input on Pine Lake?
Thanks.

i live in hammond, and i fish pine lake quite often. it's nice and close. there are a lot of panfish, but they aren't many slabs. most are in the 8 to 10 inch range. have seen and heard of some decent pike in it though. it does have eyes, but i've never caught any of them thruogh the ice.
hope that you have better luck next time.
