5/20/2008 7:34:00 PMI saw you guys out in the rain. I was in the inflatable. Green really seems to work better, followed by blue or white, when it's overcast or raining on that lake. I've caught using red or gold when it's bright. Most people I see on the dock use orange or green powerbait, seems to be pretty consistant. Hope it helps for next time. Good luck and hats off for braving the weather.

5/20/2008 8:57:00 PMgian, yeah, saw you filling up the raft. The rain was a bummer, but not unexpected. At least it stopped and turned into a beautiful evening. Wondered how much the rain was playing a roll vs. the overcast skies. Thanks for the tip. I look forward to hitting the water again. May try Wednesday after work. I like reading about your home-made lures. Not too many people do that anymore.

5/20/2008 9:02:00 PM"saw two teenagers who had been fishing from the dock get picked up by their mom while we were launching" -- Sounds like FM --- haha j/k. Darn, too bad about those teens doing that...oh well it's Pine after all - still not acceptable, I feel your frustration.

5/21/2008 12:03:00 AMNot pointing any fingers at anyone in particular, just saying what I saw wasn't cool and I needed to vent to the fishing crowd. There are always going to be people who do that sort of stuff.
Now, changing subjects a bit....does anyone know if there is a difference between bass fishing on Pine vs. Beaver? Seems to me that Beaver has more habitat for them. Any experience out there?

5/21/2008 1:46:00 PMI've seen some people pull some large bass out of pine. I would imagine the patties to the far left of the launch or the shallows at the far end straight out from the dock. I havn't tried bass on that lake though, but thats where I would start if I did. They are in there for sure. I've been thinking about taking my snorkling gear out this summer to get a better idea of the bottom. I also want to use it to clean up some of the trash I see.

5/21/2008 3:27:00 PMWell the bass in pine are bigger then the bass in beaver and u get both smallies and largemouth out of pine. But if u want constant action i would fish beaver if u want size fish pine. I caught a 4.5 pound smallie out of pine last year

5/21/2008 3:31:00 PMfishingmachine, thanks for the input. I wouldn't have guessed that the Pine bass would be bigger. I'll have to try for some. Do they run deep or do they stay up under the docks? That seems to be the majority of the cover on the lake.

5/22/2008 4:25:00 PMI have caught them up under the docks or near the pads but also you can fish rocky slopes bouncing grubs and get smallies
