February Fishing Trip

[jnorman]

Hey guys,

I am planning on coming down on February 15 to do some walleye fishing. Based on past years, how is the fishing in mid February? Also, what method/lures would you recommend (i.e.-trolling, jigging, etc.). This will be my first trip down to Stockton so I'm just trying to get as much info as possible. Thanks.

Jared,

I don't know much about walleye but plan on learning a lot this year. Not sure about mid Feb but I'm under the impression late Feb and early March is the best to catch a true pig. I'm sure a few of the guys on here will be able to tell you about the time a little better. If you've never been to Stockton consider hiring a guide, they can show you the ropes and put you on some fish.

Good luck and let us know how your trip turns out.

I think you will enjoy the trip. Definitely the best time of the year. Rather than me trying to write a bunch info I would suggest that you that you go back a couple of years and read all the old Thompson Guide Service reports (and other entries) on this web site. I have found that he really hits things on the head. Also keep up with this web site and you will know when they start hitting. Keep a close on on the weather too, it can be very unpredicable down here that time of year. Good luck!
