I fished Turtle Flambeau from August 24th - 27th for my Kayak Fishing Championship 2 day tournament. The weather was cool and water temps ranged from 68-72. There was lots of sunken wood logs and rocks. I found my best and biggest bites in the river part of Turtle River along weed edges. I had a 3inch megabass spark shad in green pumpkin on a 1/4 oz ball head jig hook and would cast it parallel with the weed lines that would have drop offs into deeper water. 9 out of 10 times the fish would grab it on the fall or when I would swim it for a short while after hitting the bottom. The bite only lasted maybe 2 hours and then the Pike started to steal my lures. After that, I would throw a weighted Z Man TRD in the Green Pumpkin Goby like a senko and let it sink to the bottom along the weed edges. Then give it a slow pop up, and they would hit that as well. There were other species that would be caught using the spark shad including Pike, Perch and Walleye. The smallies fought like CRAZY so you couldn't horse them up unless you had braid/heavy line tied on.

Had good success around islands with steep contours and access to wind blown points. Slow rolling Keitech on an underspin worked best for bigger bites.
