Fishing Report

[Stockton Lake Guide Service]

Been fishing the past week and things seem to keep getting better. Walleye are biting very good on main lake points in 20 foot or less water on jigs with night crawlers. you can either use the trolling motor or drift over the points. Caught limits the past two days in 2 hours or less, so if you don't get bit move onto another point. You will probably catch several drum and a few catfish while fishing for the walleye, but that just keeps things interesting.

Bass are biting good on small crankbaits, grubs, and topwater on points. The topwater bite is getting better and the fish are getting a little bigger. We caught a 4lb kentucky today (but we were walleye fishing). Watch the banks for bass feeding on the shad. The topwater bite is going pretty much all day if it is cloudy. With the full moon coming up, the night bite should be excellent.

Crappie are not doing as good (at least not where I have been fishing. With the way the lake has been dropping, the crappie I was catching have slowed down alot. If you are wanting to catch crappie I would concentrate on points and brush piles in 20 foot or less. I did talk to a group trolling this morning that said they were catching crappie, white bass, and walleye on small crankbaits. I saw them boat one walleye so it at least appeared that they were telling the truth.

Don't forget that the Thursday evening bass tournaments start on July 24th. Should be lots of fun and it's only $40.00 per boat!! Check out the website for more info and don't forget to keep your hook sharp.
