    I fished in the WKFC's kayak bass tournament on July 16th. When it was still too foggy to see, a few of us paddled to the Wausau Dam in search of some good smallmouth bass. I ended up finding fish, but nothing big enough to place in the tournament. The hot baits for me were a ned rig with Zman TRD in the California Craw color and a blue/black Zman Jackhammer chatterbait. I would have liked to catch some bigger fish but it was a great time and a nice looking place to fish.

    Most my catches were made around bluegill park, directly across from the launch and working the edge with a crankbait moving towards the Schofield dam area. Other people with me had a lot of luck by the north dam and caught bigger quality fish than I.
