Catchfish82

Fished 4-6 pm at the dam. A lot of guys up there trying from the bank probably 10-12 boats. I never saw a fish caught. Then tried some crappie after dark around sons creek area water temp 47 we caught 2 small crappie off the water by 8:30.

Hey Dan, Let us know how you do. CoolHandFluke and I are going to Stockton we'll post a report. Are you going after walleye?

Hey Vic, I have a motor guide on my pontoon with a plate it snaps into, so it can be removed when not fishing. It seems to work well. I gate won't quite fit over the motor with it in the stow position. I wish it did it get heavy moving around. He mounted the bracket through the flooring. Hope that helps.

Nice fish!! Are you catching them in docks or brush? Which part of the Lake or in the creeks? Thanks for the post. Don’t see many crappie posts.

That's what stuck out to me also... I wish they found more crappie then they did.

Here's an example of the set-up . charge it before you go out we had it on for 3 hours and it was still was working. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sylvania-7-portable-dvd-player-with-swivel-screen-black/5813700.p?skuId=5813700&cmp=RMX&extStoreId=346&ref=212&loc=1&ksid=cdfa1fd6-993e-4daa-8154-5874d646b2a8&ksprof_id=3&ksaffcode=pg234315&ksdevice=m&lsft=ref:212,loc:2&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwf7Asoqf2AIVxiOBCh1xzgJGEAQYASABEgJBsPD_BwE

Yes sir. Not as quiet as some crappie trips, but some good memories. Who knows how many we could have caught had it actually been quiet.

Caught a few fishing yesterday with my buddy Coolhandfluke and our kids. We took a movie, sleeping bags, and snacks. The kids thought it was fun movie night on the boat. It was steady, but not on fire we fished for 3 hours. We ended up catching around 30 with 16 keepers most 11-12 inch were the keepers on minnows. Fish seemed to be suspended higher on the brush piles in 14 feet, but did catch some deeper. It was a good time and great weather for December. A lot warmer than tonight. We had a great time. Tight lines.... This post has been promoted to an article

Yes Dan that's the place. They have your favorite spoons and stuff people actually catch fish with in that place. They are always really helpful in what people are catching fish on. They mentioned that the shad hatch this year was really good on Stockton.

I didn't get a chance to go this weekend, but I was in Bud's bait shop yesterday and they said guy came in yesterday with a report he caught a limit every morning before noon. 3 straight days. They said they were catching them between 6-20 feet.

I'm thinking about heading out tonight or maybe morning. Just wondering what the reports are depth or any help would be appreciated. I'll report back. THANKS

Yeah Dan you may be right about colder weather crappie. We were at Stockton last year about a week before Christmas and caught two limits a couple times. The air temp was around freezing though. Maybe better fishing is on the horizon.

Gotcha. Thanks for the advice. I think this has been a good feed for everyone to learn a little bit about them.
