LaPorte Pine Lake

[mrbraq]

I have some family in the area and was considering bringing the boat to warm-up the outboard and do a little fishing before the first big road trip.

Is the marina open? Ramps? Any fishing or lake considerations?

I've not fished Pine Lake for several years. There used to be a ramp on the west side of the lake. I don't remember a marina, but there probably is one somewhere. I think I've fished it two times. It was really good fishing! I'd like to get back there sometime.

If you go, let us know how you do..

Stone lake has a free DNR public launch. There is a channel that connects Stone Lake to Pine Lake. Pine has a private pay launch as well. I have not fished it this year.

Thanks for the information on ramps. Do you expect the DNR ramp and lake are both open?

There haven't closed any ramps here so yes.

[Indianabasser]

Yes the public ramp is open. I was told they graded the parking lot, which was greatly needed. Hudson Lake is about 20 min away and also has a new public launch. Let us know how you do/did.

Sounds good. Planning on launching at Stone and fishing both Stone and Pine this weekend.

We ended up catching 8 in the rain. They all appeared to be males up shallow, but the tournament guys found some bigger females. Surprised the Stone lake ramp doesnt have a dock. That was kind of annoying with no keel guard.

It's always had a 6-8 foot dock. surprised it wasn't in yet. Glad you caught some fish!!
