We decided to try the other arm. We got to Stockton State Park before first light. We did not even tie on bottom baits. We used spinner baits, crank baits, and buzz baits. I threw mostly spinner baits while Kyle used crank baits. The crank baits were slightly better than the spinner baits. We wound up catching 19 bass with 7 of them keepers. 3 keeper smallies, 1 keeper spot, and 3 keeper largemouth.
That makes me feel pretty good about my upcoming camping trip.
