Bank Fishing Any Good Right Now?

[walker04]

Got to 123 bridge today, didn't realize how low the water was. Fished near under the bridge and along the rocky bank for about an hour, friend of mine was using chartruese roadrunner, and tried white. I tried black/chart jig for a bit, also tried a jerkbait for abit (got a new rod for it for christmas, mostly just wanted to use it;-). Nothing. we went to highpoint, found some deep water we could get into, but man the wind was blowing like crazy, buddy of mine caught a 13" LMbass on a chart roadrunner. spend 90 mins there...that was all we caught. tried jigging it there too. saw several other people at highpoint, cathing nothing. saw some duckhunters who had better luck than us.

just for kicks and giggles we went to steel bridge, fished that horseshoe for a bit. that water is CRYSTAL clear, never seen it that clear. It was down about 10 feet too. fished it for a bit, not expecting much, and got what we expected. was fun though, nice day for catching nothing. I did take not of where to fish for whites and crappie this spring though, since the water was down;-)

Was wondering if anyone has done any bank fishing, or know if it would be viable right now, at Stockton or any of the rivers running out/in of it. I live in Spfd and looking for a closer place to do some bank fishing and have a mediocre shot at success this weekend.

Best bet from the bank right now would be to fish the bluffs. Chicken rock and ruark are both great areas. you really got to fish slow and on the bottom but can still pick up some nice crappie.
