Fishing Report

[Stockton Lake Guide Service]

Well the walleye have really picked up over the past few days. They are hitting jigs tipped with night crawlers in 25-30 foot of water on points. We caught some good fish on the points around the dam area. Try fishing the East end of the dam also in about 25 foot of water. Crappie are also in this area so you might be able to catch some of them while fishing for the walleye. If you don't like to minnow fish, try a small grub or road runner, one of the guys did good on them, and also got a walleye while crappie fishing.

Bass still hitting topwater up on the points in the evening and early morning and hitting baby brush hogs (plum apple) during the day. Try fishing up around birch branch. We had 2 fish over 5 lbs yesterday while fishing the afternoon. If you try the topwater bite, make sure to throw something a little slower like a chug bug or pop r etc. Work it at different speeds and don't be afraid to let it sit for a little bit. I threw a buzzbait all evening the other day and didn't have one fish blowup on it. Meanwhile, the guy throwing the chug bug caught all the fish.

Crappie are biting good in sons creek and on the east end of the dam in about 25 foot of water. The females didn't have any eggs in them during this catch, so we can only hope that they spawned and things will go good with all the cover for the newbies.

White Bass were feeding on shad along the flat by ruark west. They didn't stay up very long and they were pretty small, but lots of fun to catch. Try throwing road runners where you see shad and you should be able to pick a few up.

I have heard reports of people catching catfish, but can't help you alot with where. Lots of shad schooling, so your best bet is to catch them and go get the catfish. The catfish should be spawing or close to it. If you around the rip rap, try it out. You just might get one that is to big to handle.

Hope everyone has fun fishing and hope this will at least give you an idea of what to try.

See you on the lake,
