Stockton Lake Fishing Report

[Stockton Lake Guide Service]

May 30, 2010

Water temp 78

We are about 6 foot high and dropping.

Walleye are good to excellent on 1/8 oz jig heads and a 1/2 night crawler. Fish between 5 and 15 foot of water on the bottom on main lake points. You will catch several smaller fish, but the big ones are in there. I have a few openings the starting the monday June 7th, but I am booked on the weekends. If you are wanting to learn how to catch walleye give me a call. Lots of fun.

Crappie have been hit and miss. They are post spawn but have not move into the brush piles. fish drop offs along the creeks with minnows and in the standing timber. Lots of smaller fish are being caught, but move around and the big ones are out there.

Bass-Stockton is the best bass lake in missouri, however the past week has been a little tough. Jigs and plastics have been working in the flooded brush, but they are pulling the lake hard. I would fish the points and find brush piles in 10=15 foot of water. The fish are there, but they are not biting great, but they will be.

Catfish are good on trotlines and limblines on goldfish lakewide. concentrate on the flats up the creek arms for the bigger fish.

Keep your hooks sharp and good luck

Thanks Bob. I can not wait till the weekend coming up. I caught my first WALLEYE Saturday on UPPER BULL SHOALS just like ya said. He came from 60'of water and it took me 45 minutes to revive him. I almost thought I killed him. But he lived.

How much are Gold fish?

How far up the lake are you talking "main lake" Anywhere above Roark, mutton.. so on? Also is there anything you look for in particular when you pick a point? Say chunk rock, pea gravel, windy side of the lake?

Thanks.

Thanks for the report. I read it just prior to making a snap decision to go and caught about 20 walleye. My report is above.
