platte area

[MrStarnes1]

heard reports of poor fishing around platte area, so i had to try my luck
back side of a monster cold front and north winds in excess of 30mph, we pulled a nice limit, by noon
i have said it a few times before, and i will say it again
keep your presentations simple, fish your large depth changes (contours) and bait your hooks with what the fish are feeding on locally (be it a minnow, shad, leech, or crawler) sometimes looking down the throats of the fish you catch, can help you out the most
these fish were caught deeper, and we did have to keep a few that were bleeding and a few that had the air/swim bladders extruding

Nice fish there, I will give that a try,

I went and got some heavier bottom bouncers so I can get down to those fish,

thanks rollie!
next year it should be 4 more eyes on the table once i get the little one to sleep under the front cover of the boat!

fetch - we were only using 2oz bouncers. rear rods go straight back and the longer, side rods go out the side
