4” of ice, 10’ of water out from the public access. Saw two sunfish catching one on a minnow. Also spied a pike or two on the Aqua-Vu. First trip out on ice. The products I recommended are either things I use for ice fishing or very similar. Good luck this ice season.

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.
