I’ve been hearing reports of pretty good Crappie fishing at Pineview, so I decided to give it a try in my kayak.
I have only ever ice fished Pineview and that was several years ago.
I was a little surprised to see the water level so low, the Port Ramp was closed, and it cost $23 to launch my kayak at Anderson Cove, even with a State Park Pass.
I was unable to locate any Crappie in the South Fork Arm, but I did finally stumble upon some Perch in 4 to 6 feet of water, so they didn’t even show on the fish finder.
On the water at 8:30am air temp. 50*, water temp 68*.
Off the water at 1:30pm air temp. 75*, water temp 69*.
Ended up catching 39 six to nine inch Perch and 4 ugly Bullhead cats.
It was a very nice fall day to be on the water.
