Congrats on the boat. Good times ahead!
I don't have a lot of experience with Pineview, there are others that know it much better.
Mantua - from what Chickendude was saying - seems like the bass and bluegills are starting to appreciate the warmer weather.
I'd suggest early morning (0-dark thirty) would be your best time, or toward dusk. If you launch and head across the lake to the east side, and work the shores from the knoll - there's lots of submerged brush and weeds where the fishes will bed up. We worked our way north last year and did well on a few trips. Up towards the north end of the lake too - you can get right on top of the beds and see the fish. They get pretty stubborn during spawning time too, so don't be surprised if they exhibit some lockjaw to your offerings!
worms, plastics, grubs, reapers. if you rig it weedless you'll spend less time fighting the goo monster and snags.
If weather/time permit - I may be down there this afternoon.
