[crazy]Went to Pineview today looking for muskies. We didn't find any but I caught 2 of these. I hope this pic. works. Both fish were hooked in the mouth. on deep diving crank bait.

Those carp must see all of those tiger muskies swimming around them and they think that they are one too (LOL).

Thanks for the report . Got to love them carp there . I have hooked them on all kinds of stuff from rapalas , jigs , and senkos . Last year the muskies seem to like the smaller stuff early in the year . Did you try real shallow water like 2' of water ? That is about how deep Road was when he hooked up on a big fish that got away .

I'll be up there again in the morning. If you see a 16' flat bottom boat say Hi.

We work the edges staying about 50' from shore. the boat is usually in about 20' then we cast to the bank. I caught the carp on the pole I troll behind the boat.

I didn't see any flat bottom boats today , but fished for about 4 hours this morning . I got one follow but no hit . About a 40" muskie and it got about 3' from me and didn't seem to be bothered by me . Made a bunch of cast to it and still nothing . Even dragged my lure inches in front of him and not even interested . LOL Forgot my fins , so float tube stayed in the truck . I fished from shore today .

I had a patient today that was up at Pineview...they only caught a couple of carp. I wonder how the crappie are doing up there. I used to knock them dead, but it has been a while. Anyone catching any?

I took my first ever trip to pineview this morning (4/25). Fished from my pontoon boat north of the huntsville cemetary. Had a 35" tiger swim by right after I put in. I spent 15 minutes chasing him around, but he was completely uninterrested in anything I thew. That was about as close as I got to a fish. I thew various grubs, shadraps, ratltraps, husky-jerks and even some senkos until about 3:30 without a bite. I got a brand new fishfinder and I thought I was graphing a bucketload of fish in about 10 feet of water, but after I got playing around with the settings a little I'm not so sure I didn't spend my whole afternoon casting to submerged bushes. If anyone has any advice about how to catch the muskie let me know. I got so excited seeing that one gator that it made the trip worth it, I could only imagine how much fun it would be to catch one.

I talked to a guy sunday that said the water temp has dropped from 58 to 49 in the last week. it should be better by mid week.

I spent Sat afternoon fishing for Crappie, it was a little cold and fairly windy. the water tem was 50 around spring creek and 48 by the port ramp. I did see a couple schools of crappie still in fairly deep (20'). I think it needs to warm up a bit for them to go shallow.

For those Muskies I'd get a hold of nomoose. He will be doing alot of guiding this year. And if you get a chance keep your eyes open on the board when he throws a free muskie class. I've still got to go to one of those.
