Got the chance to hit Pineview last night with my son. Wasn't able to get out for the dusk bite, but instead fished from about 7:45-11pm. Bite was best from 8:30-10:30, slow but steady. Fished off Windsurfer Beach in 32 FOW. Had fish finder issues, so we were fishing blind but finally found them. Fish were 2-3 cranks off the bottom. Everyone around us seemed to be doing about the same. Caught most of my fish on a glow spoon with gold backside of some sort tipped with a chartruese crappie nibble. Only 2 hit a rat finkie tipped with a waxie on the upper jig.
Biggest were just over 10". Is there a way to get those fish back down without killing them? I tried a couple times, but they'd just lay there in the hole. The swim bladder thing seems to do them in quick, so i wasn't able ro release the smaller ones.
Had wanted to fish further up closer to the dam, but it was a parking convention there and finding a spot at that time would have been impossible. This access crap with the FS is gonna be a mess this year. ☹
