Good luck with the project. There are only a very few people who post about Stockton and I don’t know of anyone who is a walleye fisherman. I only target them a couple of times each year and that will be many points from Rouark to the Dam.
You might get more participation on the Stockton fishing on Facebook.

Where did you go? I am thinking of using side scan to run some timbered banks, marking interesting stuff or schools if I can find them then going back with mega live for a better look. Does that sound like a plan or not?
I you have something different for me please let me hear it. I’ve never been in a boat with any form of live view.
This will be on Table Rock in the Cape Fair area.
We did too but they were hunting dogs. They were never allowed in the house. I have had several quail hunting dogs that lived in a kennel outside. I’ve never been one for having an animal that would lick its butt then want to lick my face.
The Missouri Department of Conservative has many brush piles in Stockton. They have maps, lat/lons and download able gpx files which may interest you. https://mdc.mo.gov/fishing/where-fish/fish-attractor-pdf-maps
Do you have a contour map card in your unit?
I’m not much of a crank baiter but I did fish a rk on a channel bank above Wolly. It has given me fish every time I try it. The crank got one hit and a hookup that came unbuttoned. It was a dink. I fished the same bank and got 6 on Zeros. They were deeper than the rk could attract them.
I fished 5 hours and caught 16 on Zeros and TRDs. I found fish from 6’ deep on gravel points to 20 something on steeper stuff. Only 2 were keepers but I haven’t been for 10 days and I will take it. Cape Fair looked like a holiday weekend. There were 8 boats within a half mile of the dock cove. The surface temp was 53°.
I saw two boats that match description one was catching spots on crappie jigs and the other one launched at the same time as my wife and I. Were you one of them?

Winter is the only time I can get them in the James. Last week I caught the first ones that I have seen in 10 months. They were on my old standby Zeros.
I have caught crappie on the bluff just below Cedar Creek in the timber. It’s been years since I’ve been down there. There is a point marker between Cedar and Snap Hollow, I think it is Pt. 39 but I’m not sure. We used to catch walleye and crappie there while fishing for whites. Opposite that is a flat at the end of it down to the boat dock (if it’s still there) we also caught crappie.
I always launched at Beaver Creek instead of K Dock.
Is there a trolling motor on that boat?
Crabtree is not a place to go with that much South wind. The wind will have a non impeded 10 mile run to get those rollers going. 6 footers may be possible at that end.
