Bass are slowly coming out of the post spawn funk, which means it’s time to frog the rice, reeds, and slop in Platte Lake. Cover water and slow down when you hear or see activity.

I am the Bass Pundit and would prefer this report to be about bass, but Platte Lake had a very severe winter kill this year. Not sure if any resident fish survived this time. I know I am catching very few bass and lots of pike, primarily small, in an area that has been dominated by bass for years. If you are after bass I suggest sticking to Sullivan or putting on a wire leader because these pike are hungry.
