Anybody know anything about Pine and Stone Lakes in Laporte
-
about to go over to pine this morning for some crappie, ill let yaknow how i do-JR
-
looking forward to your report. Saw several boats sitting in the pads. I'm assuming they are gill fishing. Good luck.
-
well guys my dad and i went this morning to pine&stone in hope to fish for crappie, when we arrived at the launch at stone, there were googooobs of people there, there had to of been 100 boats and im not exagerating, we talked to one of the guys waiting to launch, "there was a line all the way down the road" and he said that there was 2 tournaments going on today! we said the heck with that and got out of that place, we DID NOT want to deal with all the hubub you know, so we went to long lake, we fish for crappie since we had a bucket full of minnows but all i came up with was 2 bites and not even sure they were crappie, after a couple hours later we started for bluegill, i did get a nice gill on the pink jig tipped with a minnow :laugh:, fished the pads with wigglers, we kept 4 gills and 1 redear, we had a little action today so it was all right, some smalls ones mixed in , and a few small bass,

Will that sucked at least you caught some fish now you know the ramps are screwed up everyone powering on there boats after the tournament
-
anyone hit them up lately for crappie??
-
Are Pine and Stone pretty good lakes for crappie? I've never fished them much and when I did I didn't find much. I'm not asking for spots, just wondering what guys fish for on the lakes. I'm moving to LaPorte and looking forward to exploring.

i dont know, my dads friend went there a couple weeks ago and he did good, i havent fished them for crappie myself, but there is some BIG bluegill
-
Gills are good, thanks for the help! Maybe this week, I'll do some exploring.
-
It's a good lake you have smallies largemouth walleye perch crappie cats redear gills and all decent size fish but a hard lake to fish because it's real clear
-
wondering if anyone knows if theres any bass tournaments going on on pine or stone this weekend becuase i might take a ride there and dont want what happened last time ^^^^
-
im suprised everyone in indiana, and noone is near these lakes????????
-
If the weather is cooperate and not 2 much wind I will try Pine lake tomorrow on Saturday. Are the crappie still hitting? Haven't been on the water for over 3 weeks, guess I should come out of hibernation.

I live in Laporte but just do not like these two lakes, as ray c. said they can be tough lakes to fish. I know that they have kicked my butt a lot of times. but, then again it is probably like abishops reply to my last post about this lake, It`s probably the fisherman and not the lake. i know a lot of people love these lakes but i am just not one of them.
so i just prefer to go to lakes that i can catch fish a little more dependably, ie. Bass, Koonts,fishlake i would even prefer fishing the kank in laporte co. than hit pine. just my opnion.
-
Sorry to hear that. Oh well, guess that is more 4 me. I dont mind the 50 mile drive. Dont think I have ever been there and didnt catch enough for a couple dinners.
-
ive caught 10 11 inch bluegills out of there that place is a fish factory, its good that it is very clear its not like ur gonna be fishing right along side the boat ???
-
I fished Pine lake last Sat morning and the fish were on. The gills are fat and big. I was using leaf worms and as soon as i would cast out they would take it. Caught 10 nice sized gills. They seem to be about 8 to 10 feet down. Pine lake has some BIG gills in there. I have been fishing Pine lake for a number of years, always had good luck. 8) :flag: :thumbup_smilie:

-
Good to hear guys heading there Monday Tuesday and wensday thanks for the info
-

If you plan on going to Pine Lake this weekend, you better start early, because the speed boats and jet ski's will be all over on the lake. It is kind of hard fishing when you have boats and jet ski's making waves and coming close to where you fish. On nice weekends the lake is very busy. :flag:
-
have you tried stone lately, wonder if they r making beds near shore
-
we fished a little on stone last week, did not have any luck so we went to Pine, better luck there till the speed boats come out. You might have better luck on stone, that is a no wake lake, there won't be any speed boats there. Good luck with your fishing. Sure hope this report helps. :flag: :thumbup_smilie: :clapping:
-
thanks for the discussion on these lakes guys. keep 'em coming!!
-
Fished these lakes yesterday, caught perch and bluegill. Nothing huge but they were biting
-
I was fishing at Pine Lake yesterday with a buddy of mine and we were tearing up on casting. We caught about 4 bass that were over 15 inches and alot of little bass. My buddy caught a big Northern Pike, It was about 28 to 30 inches. We let all the fish back in the water, going to catch them another day. The bite was on, they were hitting on anthing we threw at them. We had a great day casting for the bass. 8) :flag: :thumbup_smilie:
-
glad to hear the fish are biting, congrats to you guys on getting out. I've heard there are nice pike in there. What did you catch the pike on?
-
