Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Lac Rapide sits 2.5 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Lac du Platane for certain.
