Stockton Lake Fishing Report-Check Out The Bass

[Stockton Lake Guide Service]

Lake is about 2.4 feet high and color is normal. Water temp is hovering around 80

Walleye are hitting lead head jigs with crawlers in 10 to 20 foot of water lake wide. Lots of shorter fish, but if you are not catching them then get on the move. the fish are mainly on points and flats. I have been catching my fish around point 3 and that area. We have had several nice fish this past week with one going over 5 lbs. Keep the jig on the bottom or just off the bottom and be ready for anything that feels different. some of the fish are just hanging on and you don't even feel a bite.

bass are fair to good on plastics and jigs in 20 foot of water on main lake points. My partner had a 6.48 lb in tonights tourney and I had one over 5 and lost one at the boat about 4 lbs. Looks like we got lucky because we didn't have many boats catch fish tonight. 1st place was 4 fish 14.74 and 2nd was 4 fish 10.82. Sounded like all the fish were coming off points, so hit them points!!!

Crappie are excellent on jigs in 20 foot of water about 12 foot down. Lots of nice crappie being caught, but take some minnows with you, they don't take kindly to strangers, and they don't always take a jig.

Catfish are on mudflats in 10-18 foot of water and are biting good on cut bait and shad.

Good luck and please keep it safe on the 4th of july weekend. If you take your kids out, make them where a lifevest. It's been a tough summer on stockton, 3 drownings, 1 child. Nobody wants to hear or see any more accidents this year, so lets all keep it safe!!!

Good Luck fishing, they are there, we just have to catch them.

Fished Stockton last evening 6pm till dark. For the life of me, I can't find any crawlers with any size to them. Any help. Opted for minnows and finally caught 3 nice channels and one decent catfisn. NO WALLEYE. Fished B2 and B3. Nice evening on the water watching the moon come up. Threw topwater at dark with a few short bass, but it was fun.

We went out this morning from 6:00 til noon. HOT! Put in at Crabtree and worked points south. No keepers until we made a run past the 245 bridge. My wife wanted to try my ultralight which I had not re-strung this year. She got into a nice bass. Got it almost to the net.......yup gone. What a blast that was! Made our day. Started having engine trouble (vapor lock?) so we headed back. We'll try it again in the morning. Promised her I'd cook tonight so Bongo's it is.
