Fishing on Platte Lake for bass this year has been slow, but the size of the fish somewhat makes up for it. This morning I got three bass. A 3lber that hit the Ozark Rig. And 2.5 and 4.80 that hit the Terminator Jig with Z-Man Hella CrawZ trailer. All fish were caught in the reeds on the Southern end of the lake in three to five feet of water.

Spent a couple hours on the north end of Platte last night. My brother throwing Strike King Sexy Frogs and me throwing Z-Man Billy Goats. His 3lber edged out my 3lber for big bass of the night. We both caught 5 bass a piece. We both missed it couple of opportunities. Our best six went 15.25lbs

The wind was blowing out of the SE this morning, so I thought I would give the North end that’s protected from that wind direction a try. I have mostly written off Platte this year due to a severe winter kill and have spent the vast majority of my time this year in Sullivan. I lost a two pound bass that hit my Snagproof Frog in pads, rice, and reeds. I missed a couple of other bites, but they easily could have been pike. I then moved out of the slop and caught four bass on the Greenfish Buzzbait in short order on a shallow coontail flat that is tucked in behind the reeds. I also caught a bunch of mostly small pike. I also got a nice bass in the rice and pads along the inside edge of the reeds on the Snagproof. I got my final bass of the trip along the North side of the Big Island on the buzzbait. My biggest bass was three and a half pounds. I consider getting six bass on Platte a victory at this point.
