Pine lake Laporte

Went there this morning caught lots of crappie in the 9 in range kept 10 between 10 and 12 in and 1 12in perch

You got a 12-inch perch in Pine. I have caught hundreds none over 9. Conrats, haven't been to Pine in years. Guess this is the time to go. Soon you will have to fish Stone because the pleasure boats will be waking water everywhere. Know a guy who goes after northerns using 8-inch suckers and does very well.

Yes I was shocked when I saw that perch abat near me caught a nice northern

Way to go Den58...  you are making me think of all the springs I would launch at Stone and plan to go to Pine only to find the crappies pretty thick in Stone and ran out of time to go to Pine...  I do remember doing well in the spring at Pine fishing along the road/beach to the right as you come into the lake from the tube from Stone. May have to go back and fish some memories...

I've never done any good on Stone lake  don't know why just couldn't figure it out

[den58]

Well going to try my luck at Pine tomorrow hope the crappie are still there

[abishop]

Good luck. I might be going on Saturday. WEATHER PERMITTING. Where do you get bait? Does the guy with the cats still sell bait? I guess there is the country bait. Also, Gracy's still around by the monument's gravestones north side of Pine?

[den58]

I don't use bait just plastics,Gracies is gone the guy with the cats might be there don't know for sure

[den58]

Well, caught alot of crappie most were small 9 inches or less only kept 5 10 inches or better but, it was great to be out.

Are there any bait stores open around Pine. Know there used to be a bait/cat house on the road just past parking area for Stone. Haven't fished there in quite a few years. Just wondering if he was still in business?

[den58]

Haven't heard that he closed , I bet he is still open.
