After fishing docks in Platte I headed to the reeds in Sullivan for the last hour plus of daylight in Sullivan. I wasn’t disappointed. The highlight’s were the four pounder in the picture, which took the ToadZ in 5” of water and another bass that was at least as big that jumped a couple of feet out of the water broadside to me giving me an excellent look that hung me in the reeds and got off. You win some and you lose some in the reeds. I have fallen in love with the green pumpkin ToadZ. It’s my go to color for Platte/Sullivan.

I fished for three and a half hours until it got dark. I caught 19 Pike and 7 bass. The two biggest bass came on the spinner bait with Billy Goat trailer. I got 3 bass on the Poppin Frog and 2 on the buzzbait. My plan of fishing the north reeds for the final hour was a bust. I only had one swirl on the buzzbait and that was it. It rained for about 15 minutes before the final hour of daylight and the fish just shut down. It got calm after the rain and I didn’t see activity on the surface anywhere. I did catch a 3lb bass on my final cast of the night in the area on the NW of the lake where I had all of the action tonight. Weeds in 3’-6’ was where I was getting the fish.

I tried to make a frog work, but the bass just weren’t having it this morning. I got outside of the slop and started throwing the Turbo FattyZ and quickly hooked up on back to back Platte Lake Specials. It was steady action for bass and pike for the next couple of hours on the TF. I kept trying a frog. I think the dropping water temp had them too sluggish too bite topwater this morning. I fished for over six hours and caught 15 bass and 16 pike. I wasn’t very sharp and lost probably another dozen fish. My biggest bass was over 4lbs and my biggest pike was 28”.
