Did pretty will 26th out of 200 boats in a Bassmaster college tournament after day 1. We were letting small tubes spiral down over schools of post-spawn smallies. Most times they would hit bait on Inital fall. 1 of very few teams to weigh in 5 smallies. Wisconsin techniques work everywhere!

Fished the upper end of the lake mainly from Diamond City to Buck Creek Marina. Was able to catch a few shallow in the flooded bushes. They were dropping the water level fast so the fish we mainly in the outside edge of the bushes. Caught a few flipping around a D-bomb. Also caught a few mainly in the morning on topwater over the deeper bushes. Was able to get one to commit to the glide bait!
