Notes

AM 15Bass 20Pike(3x4lb)(23.08lbs)(I started at NPBI. It was windier than expected. No bites, but the start of day filled with Russian Gremlins. I stayed longer than I should, but did have an epiphany that if a bothersome wind is out of the West, I should use the Island as a wind block and fish the point from the South. Next, I went to SPSI and got two 4lb bass on the Chicken. I forgot to weigh the second bass, which was a bit smaller, doh. I threw it back, then was like did I weigh the fish? Nope, knucklehead. I also caught a small bass on the Big Blade Chatter. I think I tried the GOMH and got a small pike. Then it was off to the Intersection. I got a nice Platte Lake Special on the edge of the Cafeteria, thick reeds on the ToadZ. Besides that, there was nothing going on, and I gave the area a good look. I then went NW to the Deer Tongue in the Sullivan Platte River Outlet and drifted for an unproductive 45 minutes or so. I then went to Jaimen's Reeds. I think I missed two quality bites in the reeds and one just a fish in the shallow reeds on the ToadZ. I got a 4lber, in the reeds on the ToadZ and got a Platte Lake Special on a jig after it missed the ToadZ. I got a 3lber off of the reeds on a buzzbait. Wind shifted out of the SW, so I had to anchor off of the reeds. I pulled anchor and fished the reed edge then through the reeds getting a few bass up to 2lbs. I then drift fished across to the Point Flat getting a few pike follows on the Chicken. I lost two bites that felt really good on the Chicken out from the Point/Flat Reeds. I ended up drifiing to the Cabbage Triangle losing the 1/2oz Chicken to a pike when the snap on the leader failed. Note to self. Lift pike into the boat interior before attempting to take them off. I went back and fished the INT for a bit getting a couple of pike. Nothing at the GOMH. I went east of GOMH and got a quality 3lber. Unfortunatly that was it. I had hawg fever and the area looked so good. I switched batteries and fished the Small Island down to the SPSI getting several pike. I think I had a good bass hit and spit the Chicken right at the boat.I ended the day exploring F-Flat getting a couple pike and one small bass. Very few weeds. The Fish Swami App kept crashing all day. Multiple win direction shifts. A long day on the water.)
