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.

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.
