Tire Farm?

[Professor Jim]

I'm relatively new to fishing Stockton and need some help. I've heard of the fish attractors put in by the Corps, but don't know where the "tire farm" I've heard referred to is located. It sounds like a good place to catch crappie most of the time. Any help would be appreciated.

I only know of one place like that but it is in an area where you are not allowed to fish.

Might not be a tire farm but Stockton Lake Guide Service was nice enough to add this link from the MDC. It might be worth looking into if you fish stockton regularly.

The tires everyone refers to is the ones they used at the mouth of state park cove for years as a wind break. When they put in the new wind break a few years ago they sunk the old tires. They are located as you idle out of state park past the last covered dock on the right. There will be three or four big buoys on your right like they tie sailboats up to. When you find those buoys the tires will be under you.

That is the one I know about and COE has rules against fishing near commercial docks.

I was wondering what everyone was fishing in that cove. If there are rules against fishing around the docks they are not enforced. I was there two weeks ago and last weekend. There were probably 20 boats in there each time fishing.

I'm pretty sure only the Arkansas/White river COE has emplimented these rules. I hear that the Arkansas COE sets these rules for Table Rock, anything totally in Missouri you should be fine.

Thanks for the help and for the link. Most likely I'm going to Stockton Thursday evening and Friday morning. Will try some coves for bass and brush piles for crappie. Being with 20 or so other boats over a bunch of tires sounds too crowded for my blood. Is one area of the lake more productive right now? I'm planning to avoid the main lake to keep out of the wind as best I can.
