Fished Pineview today from 2:30-8:30. Started out casting for muskies in the north arm but the wind was blowing hard and it made boat control a real proplem, so we decided to troll. We trolled all the way around pineview with out catching or seeing a muskie but we did land 5 smbass and 1 carp. It was a cold day and very few boats where on the water. Surface temperature was 55-59 degrees.
I included a picture of HA69 smbass a smbass I caught and a picture of the dam, pineview is at least 90% full, you can see how close the water is to the top.

Glad to see the pic of you and the SMbass turned out . Boat was rocking back and forth in the waves and you can tell by the pic with the boat at a tilt . Rough day on the sea . I'm still rocking now at home . LOL I thought I had a muskie on a jig but it turned out to be a big carp . LOL Still fun to bring in . We'll get them next time .

Hi skip. We've had fairly good luck lately but we've had our fair share of skunkings.
If the weather stays good today there will be a lot of boats on the water. I just might go up this evening after most of the boats pull off the water.

Fished pineview today from 3:30pm-8:30pm for the second day in a row (5-30-04). Skip was right "tonights the night". Caught a 26" muskie and a small mouth bass and HA69 caught a small mouth bass also. It was a little muskie but he tugged just as hard as some of the big boys. The surface temperature was 62 degrees in the shallow bays and 59 degrees in the deeper areas.
I left my camera in the truck but HA69 had his and took some pictures. When he gets them developed I will post them.

I thought I would show the pics of MGB muskie I took , but they didn't turn out like I hope they would . Tried to measure and hold fish and pics didn't turn out well enough for the Fuzzy challenge . Well he is competition for me . LOL I really didn't do this on purpose . Taking a pic of a muskie with ruler and a unruly fish can be a chore even with a small one . I believe this fish was 26" from what I remember . Mike has invited me out again on his boat september 2 . Just can't wait .

We gave it a good try but we had to watch out for the best interest of the muskie and let him go with out a good pic. He swam away with alot of energy thats all that counts.

What about the carp. I think those are fun to catch. Especially on a fly rod

Pineview is loaded with them.I try my best to avoid the carp. But theres been many times I have hooked into one and I though I had a big muskie on and then its a big let down when you see them on the end of your line.

Yes, I will admit that. And I'm allways hoping to see a muskie surface.
