Stockton Lake Guide Service Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Lake level .5 low Water clarity is normal temperature 85 degrees Walleye are getting gigs and crawlers In 18 foot of water On point and flats. On a trip this morning We had 4 keepers in the first hour. Had several short fish also. It was a really light bite so you gotta really pay attention free needing it feels out of the ordinary. Crappie are biting great iN 16 to 22 foot of water On main lake brush piles And again 22-25 foot of water In the standing timber From .9 to the greenfield access. Minnows are working the best. But we are picking up some good keepers on jigs. Catfish are bitng really good on fresh shad drift shad between 10 to18 foot of water. This is the time the year Or you can pick up the limit of catfish Pretty fast Bass are still Hitting large worms in 16 to 20 foot of water on the main lake brush piles. After a couple weeks of slower fishing It's really picked up the past few days. I've been a little slow returning some phone calls I completely forgot to call back straw hat but if you have any questions give me a call and I'll see what I can do to help you out And remember never be ashamed to wear life vest Bob Bennett Stockton Lake Guide Servicehttp://fishstocktonlake.com 417-637-BASS"Our Service is Crappie" ”And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time that this people preserve the spirit of resistance?

Stockton Lake Guide Service Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 just got back home from a morning trip. crappie were a very light bite, but we got a limit of them and only 2 fish went under 11". That is a pretty awesome limit of crappie. We only caught 1 short fish. minnows by far worked better than jigs. i jigged till my arm was sore and it just didn't work. about 1030 put on the minnows and caught most of them before 1130, so 1 hour of minnows was as good as 4 with a jig. I don't like using them either, but sometimes you gotta just do it. just thought I would give a quick update. All of them came on main lake brush piles in 15 to 20 foot of water. Good luck and keep your hooks sharp.

Thats the breaks. I finally got your joke about the crab. I tried speaking the fishing report and my phone transcribed it. didn't do to bad, but I didn't see the crab fishing until just now. got it switched back right. Technology just amazes me sometimes.

I thought last year was awesome fishing, but this lake just keeps getting better. Bob, I sincerely appreciate the offer. There is nothing more I would like to do but my heart problems won't allow it. I have to lay down several times a day and rest (when I fishing in my pontoon boat it's pretty easy to do and my wife can keep fishing!). In the evening I am in bed usually by 6:30 and by that time my meds have me pretty much down and out. God bless you for the offer though. Enjoy catching some of those cats for me and be sure and leave a few for me for later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
