No More Shore Fishing

[phiber_optikx]

Well, either I'm getting more convincing or my wife is simply wearing down because I finally talked her into a boat this year. It isn't much and its older than I am but it floats and starts. So my question is, I am new to boat fishing Stockton, what are some pointers and things to keep an eye out for? We normally camp at Cedar Ridge so I will probably keep to that area for our first outing. I want to keep it between 245 Bridge and the large point that leads into Maze Creek. Any hidden water dangers to look out for? Best areas to plink around in? We are planning to head down on the 2nd and make a weekend of it. If you see a yellow 72 Strahm then stop and say hello! Odds are I will probably need a tow back to shore anyway. I named her "Yellow Submarine" for a reason!

Depending on what u some like to fish for, if u put in at cedar ridge the area I have been posting about catching cats is just a short ways past the bridge. Net some shad, set up on the flats, let the wife sun while u drift and catch dinner ha everyone is happy.

As for bridge itself they are catching a lot of bluegill under it I know a few who have caught 30-40 each time out this week. Crappie are scarce right now, but near the island also just across the water from the bridge we caught 3 nice largemouth and a 16 inch smallie yesterday evening on tequila sunrise worm.

Those are a few places all very close proximity to one another but all beyond the bridge.

Hope that helps.

It does thank you. I like to fish for anything that will bite a hook honestly. Where about are these flats?

Near high point - kinda hard for me to explain except to say look on map of the lake - find the bridge - find the island I'm referring to for bass - then look at the shore beyond it - that is where. Drift that area with cut shad and u will find fish.
