The SE wind had me choosing to go North in Platte. Not a good choice on this cool evening. I only got two bass. The first was a two pounder that was relating to shallow weeds close to a drop off. The three pounder was caught in 5’ of water next to a rice point on a inside turn. I missed a bite on a frog about a half hour later on that same rice/inside turn. I also got a few pike on the Big Blade Chatterbait.

I had motor issues tonight, so I scrapped going down to Sullivan while underway and went to the far North of Platte instead. The bay I went to sets up like the one I reported on the other day; a weed flat behind the reeds and rice/pads lining the shore. I got my first bass casting out over the coontail with the frog. My final three fish came from rice/pads. Apparently my battery wasn’t charged properly and so 45 minutes into fishing on this windy night I was running low on juice for the trolling motor. I caught all of my fish in that first 45-minutes. My biggest bass was just under three pounds and my four fish weighed 9.54lbs. I fished the final two hours of daylight until it was dark (8:45pm)
