After my Willard disappointment yesterday, I decided to hit Pineview today. The water was 61° upon my arrival, warming to 63° at the surface by afternoon. Dead calm all day.
I trolled a crawfish crank along the north side of Cemetery Point and had something nice on for a while. Whatever it was got tired of playing and went home. Then I tossed a pearl tube into the rocks. On my second cast, I got a nice thump and enjoyed a spirited tussle before netting this nice LMB. He went a solid 3-lbs, maybe even 3½ and taped a chunky 20"

I found that the entire stretch from Port Ramp to Cemetery Point has a spadzillion suspended crappie 24" down. Each and every one of them (or at least the bunch that I caught) are exactly 8.5 inches long. I got several doubles on a two-jig rig. It didn't matter if the jigs were tipped with Gulp maggots, Gulp minnows, or a pinch of real worm - they hit 'em all. I didn't keep any of those.
Only a few skiers and PWCs out, and they didn't show up until lunchtime.
The contractor is working to pull up the boat dock access, with a back hoe and tractor. Don't park by the side of the ramp and block their access. They said they'd write tickets if they had to.
