I've been reading all the great info on this site for the past year and just got back from my 2nd trip to Stockton and thought I'd weigh in

We fished out of the State Park on Sunday and Monday all day.  We caught all of our fish on the main lake and almost nothing past the first 50 feet or so of a cove.  As someone said almost every fish we caught, Walleye, Smallmouth, and Largemouth all came at 20'.  We also caught a lot of really nice white bass on anything we threw.  Trolled a lot of crankbaits and rigs but did the most damage vertical jigging nightcrawlers on main lake points.  Only managed one crappie in 2 days trolling a crankbait.  

I wish I was going this weekend!  It feels like the lake is on the verge of really turning on.

Good for you, Eagle! Thanks for the report, and welcome.

Probably gotta get off the contours and out into open water if you wanna troll up some crappies. But that'll change shortly....
