Fishing Report 06/30/2011

[Stockton Lake Guide Service]

Didn't get the fishing report posted yesterday, but here it is:

lake temp is 78 and the lake is about normal finally. The thermocline is about 28 foot down.

Walleye are very tough, but a few are being caught on main lake points on jigs and crawlers anyplace from 14 foot early to 25 foot later in the day. They are moving to the summer patterns and it's been a pretty tuff bite the past week.

Crappie are still hitting crankbaits 10 foot deep in 25 foot of water trolled about 1.5 mph. There are also a good number of fish moving to the brush piles in 18 to 25 foot of water. either way you should get some fish for the 4th of july picnic.

Bass are excellent on large worms in deep brush piles lakewide. If you can locate the right brush pile, you can catch a large bass. Been a great 2 weeks of bass fishing!! If they don't hit the large worm, large jigs have been the second bait of choice, along with downisizing the worm.

Catfish are moving onto the flats after the spawn. Fresh shad drifted in 10 to 20 foot of water will catch a good number of catfish.

It's going to be a busy weekend of skiers, tubers, and jetskis. watch for the orange flags and be careful. We have had enough of our share of drownings over the last 2 years! Have a great 4th of july weekend.
