Go Bass Fishing

[MstStudent10]

If you like to catch fish and don't care how big they are, now is a good time at Stockton. Went to Stockton out of Ruark Bluff this past weekend fished Sons Creek. From 9:30 to 3:00 had about 30 bass, with ONLY 1 a keeper. They all came on a jig. FIND THE SHAD!!! Where the shad were bunched up the bass were there. They were in about 2-8 ft of water on shallow sloping banks. "Golf ball sized" rock banks seemed to hold more fish. Keep your jig moving. I was working a smaller jig like I work a football jig and dragging it horizontally, just kept it moving while keeping contact with the bottom. . . They were also on the trees in water 12 feet or less. Just flip to a tree, let it sink to the bottom, hop it once or twice, and keep going. Trees on banks like I described above.... Like I said, no big ones, but it sure was fun all day and couldn't bring myself to change up anything.

Good info. I must have just missed you. I was in the back of Son's creek around 3:30. Caught a couple of jig, but had better luck on the buzz bait as it got a little bit later. Like you said. A lot of small ones. Biggest one was probably close to 2. Also had some luck under the EE bridge. I was bank fishing yesterday. So getting from one place to the other was a little easier.
