Ice Fishing Advice by Bob and Bruce.
"Follow these steps below and you too can catch a monster fish in Benzie County". Read a previous post about how to fish Platte Lake.
Step 1: Drag your ice fishing gear out onto the ice.
Step 2: Find a spot, any spot to drill your hole.
Step 3: Fish for just a bit, ...then simply hook that 20 pound Northern Pike and pull him out of that hole!
Optional Step: Take a few moments to admire that huge catch.
Step 4: Repeat step 1-3 for each additional Northern Pike.
Step 5: Figure out how to get those huge fish AND all your gear back home!
There you have it all you ice fishermen. Until Crystal Lake ice is completely safe, we will continue to pull them out of the Platte.
These two Northern Pike were caught yesterday along with about 40 yellowbelly perch. One was 20 pounds, 41.25 inches, the other was 18 pounds, 40 inches.
