Thread: Lake O' Pines - 4/27/19

It's been a month since I was there, but if you pick a creek, go up it until the average depth is 10-12 feet, find a point that leads to shallower water, and drift, slow troll that with minnows just above the bottom. Vary the depth that you fish. When you catch a couple, try to spend some time in that area fishing a bit slower. Other than that, buy you bait locally and ask them. Usually they will give you some advice if you give them some business. Also helps to have a young'un with you! Sorry that's all I know. I was using a minnow rig(actually 4 minnow rigs and/or drop shot rigs). A slip cork rig also works, but vary the depth. Good luck and give us a report. If that fails, bream should be starting to get in the shallows.

I fished up at 155 bridge area this weekend. Caught 10 keepers and couple unders. Actually had to get away from bridge, quite a bit of current there and prob will be even more now that they have opened up the spillway at the dam more. Bite will prob be even worse. I know you said you don’t have a fish finder but I caught most in 10-12 foot of water. I would just get close to some of the boat lane markers and ease toward the banback and forth until you catch some. Then likeescout said fish that area slower. Good luck!

Thanks for all the advice, were gonna try to out Saturday - also was told to try Hurricane Creek so well flip a coin and decide from there.
