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.

Was able to catch a few smallies near the dam throwing a texas rigged strike king rage tail menace. Sadly there were multiple tournaments the week before and those that were on bed are no longer there.

Fished a kayak tournament, and over all it was a tough day, with most of the field failing to catch a limit. I had success fishing the shad from overhanging trees on flats in 6fow. The Max Scent Flatworm on a drop shot is all I could get them to bite on. I must have tried 20 other dropsho baits, as well as a variety of power fishing techniques without a single bite.
