Stockton Sept 24

[Walleyedmike]

Headed down to Stockton last weekend. Fished for a couple hours on Saturday before the rain pushed us off the lake. I have had big problems figuring out a summer pattern this year, but was able to catch a limit of 15 1/2 and 16" walleyes on Saturday. Last year, slow death rigs was my go to presentation. Haven't had any luck with it this year, so I kind of abandoned it for spinner harnesses. Gave slow death another shot and it paid off. I did change it up a bit, used a whole crawler instead of a half crawler as is recommended. I usually put in at Hartley, but the lot was full (looked like kwall got the last parking spot) so I put in at State Park and fished the little Sac arm around an island (hint, hint). All I caught were keepers, but none over 16". Didn't get to talk to kwall, but he came in a few hours after me, so I assume he was catching a bunch. (Report kwall?)

Wm, yep I got the last spot - fished all day look'in for new places, caught quite a few short eyes , the keepers must have moved to where you were at. I only caught 1 16"er the rest were 13 to 14 1/2 range . I think those bass were gett'in to my crawler before the eyes were, caught 20 or so in the 12 to 14 inch range. You beat me this time , glad you got a mess - I had to go to the freezer for my dinner,lol. Eyeman and I are going to BSL this comin' weekend on a Walleye hunt, haven't fished much there so we figured we better get a guide, went with "Worley" last year and getting with " Hotdawg" this year , should be a nice one to be on the lake wheather on Stockton or Bull Shoals
