Fishing on Lake Wissota was a challenge. I was able to catch a fair amount of small fish, but catching keepers was more of a chore. During practice I tried a Carolina rig, Rogue, and Bomber 6A working them in 4-8 feet of water with scattered grass. I was only able to catch a few keepers a day during practice, and most came on shallow boat docks with a green pumpkin, 4 inch, YUM Mega Tube. During the competition I mainly focused on using the tube flipping shallow boat docks both days. This produced three keeper smallmouth, and I finished the event in 21st place.
