Fun at Pineview 11-12-16

[Kent]

Kory and I had a fun day at Pineview yesterday.

It has been awhile since we had fished together, and we were busy getting caught up, so I decided to go by way of Willard Bay -- but that is another story.[blush]

Despite the unplanned detour, we were still the first on the water. Caught a couple crappie and a few perch at the first stop, but with the way the fish-finder screen looked I figured it would be on-fire action.

The wind was blowing us towards the buoy line, and we had to move several times to get a little further away from it. Decided to fish where the perch were on my last trip and catch a perch or two and eat our lunches. The problem was the perch were biting so fast that, at least I, didn't get any food eaten.

Kory hooked something that was fighting harder than a perch and this was what had grabbed his perch lure. (It measured 36 inches long).

I decided that we had caught enough perch so we moved over where a string of boats had been for the last few hours. I carefully positioned us into the row of boats and we immediately started getting lots of crappie bites and catching both crappie and perch. Those crappie are certainly soft biters. We both had on a tiger muskie that decided that they wanted our crappies more than we did. Especially the one I had on, didn't want to let go, but eventually released the severely damaged crappie.

Nice to fish with Kory again and a great outing on Pineview.

Looks like a very good day, Hunting fish, I love it that way. In fact that's why I don't chase trout much, not much of a challenge. Now after saying that I usually bring home a couple trout for smoking or dinner. But, nothing beats those walleye fillets from spring trip to Powell.
Can you tell me if there is a dock on Pineviews boat launch.? It's hard to launch the boat by myself. I think I need some of that fun before my foot surgery. Your very
Open and informative report is really appreciated.

Maybe 100 feet north of the boat ramp there is a dock partially in the water that one can ease up to and get off or on a boat.

What Kent says is true but it isn't really a boat dock, just where it use to connect to the dock. At most it only sticks into the water a few feet and it would not do much good to tie your boat to it, if the wind was blowing. You would be better to trim your motor up and just beach your boar on the sandy shore.

Thank you, my problem is getting in and out of the boat, got a sore foot. It's only a problem when I go alone.

I kind of figured that, so that was why I added a little detail to what Kent said. If it makes it easier to get in and out of the boat, instead of stepping up from shore, that little piece of dock, might help but be very careful getting on it, because when there is frost on it, it is very slippery. I've seen a few guys fall, while walking on it, because it is plastic.
