carper_patrick Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 Hi everyone, new to the forum, searched around it enough and have seen some info on Pine Pool but all from last year so i thought i'd start a thread for this season. Going to be doing a bit of fishing on Pine Pool this season, have walked around it a couple of times and have a general idea of how to approach it. The marker float shows no clear spots whatsoever so i'm just going to fish on top of the weed. Has anyone fished it yet this year? If so how have you got on? Looking to have a session next Wednesday. Cheers, Patrick Quote
calamity_carper Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 There are plenty of clear spots its just a case of finding them. I walked round there the other day and seen a quite a few without the use of a marker rod. I'll be fishing up there on Saturday, I'll let u know haow i get on. Quote
carper_patrick Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Posted March 17, 2011 To be fair i didn't climb any trees so couldn't look down on the water, i may have simply missed the clearer areas with the marker. You fished it yet this season mate? Quote
calamity_carper Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 I've never fished it before which is a shame cos i live 5 mins from there. I am gonna give it a good bash this year though and try and do the nights at the end of the month which they allow. Quote
carper_patrick Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Posted March 17, 2011 Ok fair enough, i'm hoping to fish fairly regularly as i only live in Birmingham so about 15/20 minutes away. Let us know how you get on anyway mate Quote
nash_gadgeteer Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Be careful in there as there is some very light coloured weed that looks like clear spots and are actually bad places to put a bait.... There is a rubbing spot on the road bank in the double swim with the wooden lake marker in it, on the far left hand side and approx 6-8ft out in front on the bushes, lots of large lumps use that spot for rubbing against the gravel and the stick...... There are plenty of good places to fish in there and the fish do move about a bit especially away from angling pressure... A solid pva bag works very well even if it is cast into the weed.... The fish from there are stunning, very dark lumps and the commons are mint.... I have have about 12 different 20's from there in past years and some good double to boot... All baits work in there, but i have done better on Cell..... Best of luck to all that gets the chance to fish it.... If you are about in the next few weeks there is a BCAC Qualifier on there, well worth a look (although I have got a different qualifier this year) Quote

Is that the same stick that is directly in front of the swim in the corner of the road bank? The double swim your talking about on the road bank, is that the one with the red rubber ring on a post?

nash_gadgeteer Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 The wooden Post is the one with a fish engraved on it if my memory serves me, the stick or branch is under water coming up from the gravel patch, with a good pair of polaroids you can't miss it... Quote

rosstheangler Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 I'm planning on starting a campaign up there as I'm new to the area. Would love to see how everyone else is getting on, maybe organise a small social???? Quote
carper_patrick Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Posted March 22, 2011 I would be up for that although i'm not sure when i'l be able to fish depending on work. Should be going down this week at some point and maybe next week, unsure yet though Quote
carper_patrick Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Posted March 23, 2011 Going tomorrow, should be good. I'l post catch reports (if any!) tomorrow evening Quote
dogwash1 Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 fished pine pool today for the first time. Had a nighmare with weed! stuff is everywhere and really thick in some places. Switched onto swann lake as weed is ok on there but got pestered by ducks and gulls whenever i cast and almost impossible to throw any bait out as they dive straight down for it. unfortunately a duck dived and had my bait. It put up one hell of a struggle but managed to net it and release without too much damage. switched back to pine but no joy. All in all it was a mare of a day. Think pine is a place you need to do some homework before fishing. Quote
m0zww Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 I've been to pine 3 times now, it's a great little pit with some interesting features...... There are huge clear areas in the weed and all very fishable... Unfortunately the weather has been very un British, and been very hot which has had the fish in a lethargic mood, on the up side they are very easy to spot......and spent most of Sunday watching 3 groups of fish up to 10 in the group patrolling the margins and islands....... Sadly they weren't interested in feeding just lazing in the sun, but I did see a lot of fat wackers and sweet they were too........ Quote
