6:00-11:00AM East of Jenny's, Across From Platte Access
Conditions: 58-78℉, Sunny, Calm to Light SW Wind
Was a little slow on getting out of the house this gorgeous morning. I headed over East of Jenny's and got smacked on that pad point by this bass.

I then had a pike steal the frog on quite the blow up and it didn't resurface. While I was looking for the frog a fish revealed itself itself big time in the rice to the East. But I was an idiot and didn't go and see if I could catch it. Instead when I got back to fishing I went West. I lost a fish over by Jenny's when I didn't get a great hookset on the Ish's. I got a pike on the custom painted Shower Blows knock off. I then went to West Point. Nothing on Top and had something pick up the jig, but when I set nothing was there. I was now an hour plus into the morning with just two fish to show for it. I tied a "Big Sexy" Maxx on the Tatula frog rod and headed to the area across from the Platte public access.

A fish mauled something on the end of maidencane point at the end of the big bunch . I made a mental note and fished the sparse cane and pads. I got over by where the mauling was, through a cast in and the 17 incher was all over it. How much of an idiot was I for not going after that other blow up I saw this morning. I worked my way down the cane then into the reeds. Not much was happening until I fished this.

A big bass smashed me, but got off. Bummer. I put a few more casts through the area and got a 16.75.

Surprisingly I didn't get any hits on that rice point up farther on the right which also has a bunch of cabbage on it. This is some fine looking slop. I eventually caught a 12 incher by the cattails. Then I worked my way back to the isolated rice patch and got another 16 incher off of it. I also worked the rice point again with no takers. I drifted back over the isolated rice patch and got 14" bass on a 1oz Hack Attack Jig with Craw Fatty trailer. I had a 25/27" class pike follow Big Sexy in the reeds. I caught a small pike on the Hack Jig as a follow up to a miss on Big Sexy. I worked my way out on the maidencane and caught a 15" bass and a couple of pike on the Hack Jig. I quit fishing at 11.

7:45-9:15PM Double Cane Point
Conditions: 80-76℉, Mostly Sunny, Light SSW Wind
So I decided to head to double cane point. I caught 1 small pike in the cane, sad. I worked my way towards the point and got the 16.33 in a small rice patch just out of the reeds. I then got two 13 inchers in the sparse rice off the east side of the point in shallow. I was heading to Big Bass Point when I decided to fish the east side of double cane instead. Turns out it was a good decision as I landed six 16 inchers in pretty short order. I think I had a bigger fish miss the frog and not come back for it as well. Wish I would have taken a picture of the spot I was catching them from, a patch of rice in the reeds. So basically I caught more bass in 45 minutes in the evening than I caught in 5 hours in the morning. Sad!
