Well to start off , I love this lake . Why didn't anybody tell me all these jigs I've been using for trout are great for bass . LOL . Started off fishing the narrows . first cast SM bass . and about 15 more after that . Every kind of jig I threw they pounded . I was surprised that they could pick up that jig and pig and run with it .
Wind started to blow so I moved to the north arm to try my luck at crappie . Nomoose set me up with a jig at Willard that I still had tied to my rod so off I went . This time I was going to try the 2 rod fishin thing in my tube . Kicked off from the old highway and worked out to about a 100 yards from shore and got a hit . Dang this thing is huge I thought . Finally got it close to my tube and scored on a big carp 25" plus . What a battle it was . While I was releasing this pig it got away with my jig . Tied on a small curly tail and fish with other rod for what ever would hit it . On the crappie rod I caught this nice 9" bluegill . A first for me there .

Continued my seach for crappie but was hooking more SM bass . I think I caught about another 30 SM bass . Most were small (8" to 12")but all the sudden wham . I got a good hit , Largemouth . 19" Toad . This is another first for Pineview . Just hooking into this made up for the muskies not biting .

Camera gave me troubles when I got her to the tube so I am unable to give closer shot . I couldn't get both hands around this pig . I didn't think they grew this big in the north . Nice surprise .
I noticed that the water is already starting to go down at Pineview . Let hope its rains good soon . Tight lines everyone !!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. I never did find any crappie .
