Lake O’ the Pines Fishing Report, March 28, 2025 | Fishing Report
This fishing report is given as a courtesy. It is mostly composed of my personal fishing experience, but may contain information from others.
The conditions at the lake are decent: water slightly stained, 60 degrees, and 0.41 feet above pool level. Bass were actively spawning in shallow, wind-sheltered pockets at 4–6 feet deep, hitting Texas-rigged creature baits, jigs, and soft jerkbaits with enthusiasm. Some bass, however, weren’t quite ready, holding off for warmer water and staging near hard cover close to spawning flats. Those fish responded well to jerkbaits, shallow crankbaits, and bladed jigs.
This update comes from Blake Doughtie of Lake Country Lunkers Lures and Guide Service.

I have lived on Lake O’ the Pines for 11 years and I don’t get to fish as much as I would like,Probably 150 to 200 Days a year!!
I am not a Live Scope guy. I have nothing against them, I just don’t have one.
I primarily fish for Crappie, But I also fish for Bass when it gets hot and I can’t find the Crappie. Who doesn’t like that bass bite?
I do this fishing report as a courtesy and to let people know I have a cabin for rent on Johnson Creek.
If you see me on the lake, Say Hello!
I met Bob and Tony plus one other fisherman on 3-31-25 under the bridge. It is nice to meet people!

I personally have not been fishing, but the following reports are compiled from individuals and guides who have.
Fish Perfect Guides and Outfitters report the crappie came in 12-15ft on 1/16 ounce jigs on stumps and brush on the edge of the creek channel as they are running to spawn as well! On Feb 1, they report “We caught them on 1/8 punch jigs in 15-20ft in the creek channel and around brush!”

It is Winter Crappie time at Lake O' the Pines. I have fished the last 3 days and have seen dozens of boats using LiveScope in a concentrated area. Is it possible that LiveScope actually hurts the fishing? Does LiveScope have an impact on fish behavior? Here is what... read more
