scottys does not no ****, place sucks since it was sold last year. was there yesterday had a mixed bag caught 3 pike one keeper 15 perch 5 keepers 8-9 inches and caught 2 nice walleye only kept the perch threw the rest back. just go north of scottys for the perch you will see the shacks i caught some pike there in closer . i catch most of my pike on the south end by the weeds hope this helps

Well we decided to give pine another try yesterday. We moved our shack from 5 feet of water to 9 feet and drilled some holes around it also. We had 9 pike to the ice between 2 in the afternoon and 5 oclock. 4 of them were well over keepers. It was quite surprising but very nice to see some healthy full bodied pike are still swimming around in there. I guess i can't give up hope on it yet. And hey....maybe if they open up the draw system the lake will actually have a chance to recover???

If they open walleye on that lake via a tagging system the walleye will get even bigger and we'll start to see better numbers of big perch.

HPF is right no one really bothers with the tag system, your better off allowing a slot size to keep numbers in check, and some room for them to grow

So I headed out to Pine for a few hours into the evening and got skunked. Was trying just north of Scotty's between a bunch of permanent shacks. Figured that since the shacks were there, it should be a ok spot. It was pretty deep were I was, about 20'. I was going for both perch and pike and when the evening got on burbot. Was using smelts on jig heads at different depths during the day and just off the bottom at night. I even tried a smaller hook with a bunch of freshwater shimps from the holes.
It's a fairly big lake so I didn't want to drive around all over the place drilling holes as I didn't have a ton of fishing time and it seemed like all the shacks were on the west side north of Scotty's. I had a depth map with me and was tempted to either try heading towards points off the shore on the east side or deeper holes near the middle. I've only been to the lake many years ago in the summer and did really well in the shallower northern part along the eastern shore but have no idea about the hard water season. Any suggestions or tips if there's a slightly better region to try or if there are different places for the perch, pike and burbot? At least it was a gorgeous night out with the almost full moon :). |
Well Team Triple S (Slough Shark Slayers) was out again yesterday. Caught another 9 pike. 2 of them keepers (not that we keep them) and the rest just under 63. All in all another good day on the ice. The fishing seems to be picking up nicely for february and will keep getting better im sure.

I'm thinking about going out on Saturday afternoon and spending the night in the shack overnight for most of Sunday.
Which end were you on there eyewhomper if you don't mind my asking? I'm going after perch primarily. |
pine lake perch
we used to fish pine lake for perch because is was very good every trip out.
Very good means between 2 guys if you didn't catch 75-100 it was a slow day. The fish were 6-12" so you could put fish back and have a very good chance that you would catch something in that 10" range. but know it is nothing like that, not any where close. Just my 2 cents. |

I keep going back to Pine because our family farm was a few miles west of there and its just a peaceful place for me to be and remember times with my granparents and such. If I wanted to do serious fishing for perch, I wouldn't go there either. |

ive always caught fish on pine you just have to explore have had many 100 plus perch days you just have to keep moving from hole to hole till you find them i bought a vexilar this year and it has atleast trippled my catch. i love it for perch fishing dont be afraid to explore this lake might just surprise you

The problem I have is that with my portable ice shack it's quite a pain to move around so I try to set up and hope for the best. Then I'll drill a few holes around the shack and fish outside for a while. We had good success with the north end and south of scotty's in the past as well. |
i also use a shack but usually dont set it up till i find fish if it takes me 2hrs and 50 holes so be it. i rarely get skunked the key is to keep moving around for perch till you find them.
