Slow Morning/Evening Trip Todd Gets a Pig

3.17lbs/18" Sweet Revenge

6:00-9:00AM NPBI, Deep Melon Patch, 6lb Flat
72-64℉, Mostly Sunny, 0-3mph West
76℉

I got out late, but I don't remember why.  I stopped at the North Point Big Island first stop. I got a 16.75-inch bass there on the orange Shower Blows KO 105.  Also had fish strike and miss at the 75 Plopper.  Then it was off to the Deep Melon Patch.  There was baitfish activity, but no signs of what I was after.  The bright sun was annoying.  I was just contemplating what a disappointing morning it might turn out to be when the 18-incher hit.  Bingo!  It basically hit out of the scrub reeds not relating to anything.  I then got 14.5" on the bone Sprinker.  My back started giving me grief for some reason.  I missed a couple of bites and caught a dink at the rice on the edge of 6lb Flat.  Slow morning, but size wasn't bad.

2.75lbs/17" Terminator Frog

Didn't even hook this pike off the dock

7:00-9:00PM Reeds Across From Platte Access
72-78℉, Mostly Cloudy, 0-3mph S
WT: 76℉

We got out a little later than I would have liked due to the weather being so ideal.  While I was waiting for Todd and getting stuff in the boat a fish busted on something out front.  I investigated and caught the pike.  Mal and Belle got to see it.

Headed out with Todd and made a last-second decision to hit the reeds on the point across from the Platte Lake Access.   Todd had a fish dog him in the reeds.  We got in by shore and I had a good bass jump and get off under the trees.  Todd then got the 17-incher on the inside reed line.  We moved a little farther west when Todd hooked up on the Platte Lake Pig.  It maybe Todd's personal best.  He wasn't sure.  We caught several small bass and missed some bites as we fished the area.  I then moved us toward the cattails.  Some good fish spooked.  We missed some hits and we both got 14-inchers.  Didn't get anything once we got to the rice, which was disappointing.  Skeeters forced us to quit at 9PM.

17.12lbs for the Best 6 of the Day
