Pine Lake Fishing Report
I finally got on the water after about 3 weeks yesterday. Conditions were great, low wind, overcast sky early and nice temps. The water temp was 69° and the fish were scattered after the spawn. I had minnows and also tried a Road Runner and a vertical jig. I got on the water at 6am and fished till 8:30am which is about all the pinched nerve in my neck will let me do. The only thing I got a bite on were minnows, the fish were on a flat in 6-9' of water and holding about 4' deep. I had 2 minnow poles with slip floats out and just drifted or move slow up and back in about a 50yd section of the lake picking up scattered bites. I tried some other areas on the lake but had no luck so I just worked that one area. I managed 13 that were 11-14" and a few were still holding some eggs but they were turning white and looked like they were absorbing them.
It was just a relaxing day on the water and I even got to tweak my Helix 7 a little.

If you got to tweak a back or hurt one best doing it fishing rather than work!!! Hopefully it will straighten on out!

SI takes a lot of playing around with the settings; water conditions, plankton, even very fine debris can drive you nuts. This is an view of a big school of crappie with 2D sonar on the left and SI on the right (right side view only) taken during flooding conditions. You can see the fish shadows to the left of the water column. The water was dirty but with adjustments I was able to get excellent results. This spot was hot for over 2 months, with limit catches on every trip. After they closed the dam the fish dispersed, but it was fun while it lasted. Finding this spot gave me a chance to experiment with settings and I learned a lot about SI. Now I am able to easily scan structure and better accurately interpret what I am seeing. You're right about a learning curve, but it's the only way to get the most out of your unit. See image below.Originally Posted by Blackhawk19
