ten_scoach Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Going to head up to stockton to beat some brush piles and jig some spoons. Chasing crappie and whites. Anyone have a suggestion that would help me choose between mutton area or state park area? Any leads appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frying eyes Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I did some spooning today. Caught one crappie just outside the wave breaks in 50ft, about 25ft down. I seen a lot on the lowrance around state park but couldn't get them to bite. I did see a couple guys catch two around the boat docks. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I'm heading for Mutton Creek myself. I haven't been able to catch crappie in the Little Sac this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerdive Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Fished out of Mutton a couple times last week. There were lots of hefty whites in 20-35 feet just inside the tip of the land point that divides Googer, south side. There were hardly any crappies/walleyes with them, unfortunately. I don't fish for whites...was just having some fun while the wind raged on the main lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I found a few crappie today in 36 fow but not many so I went walleye fishing. My pard and I had 2 limits of keepers fishing plastics and spoons down to 50'. Saw enough shad in the mouth of Hawker to fill a gymnasium. Fished them for 30 min and only caught one white. No there bites around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten_scoach Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Went out today. Picked up a few keeper crappie in brush in 25 fow. Had to get jig right in pile. Must have lost a dozen jigs. Such is the nature of the beast. Didn't jig any spoons, but after reading the wonderful article in fall walleye thread here on stockton forum I can't wait to get a jigging spoon out on stockton....as soon as I get my electronics fixed!

powerdive Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 ten_scoach, we've been spooning up good walleyes (some whites and crappies too) on sharp breaks in 30 to 45 fow. Look for places where a mainlake point brushes the river channel. Yeah, you need your sonar...good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten_scoach Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Thanks. I'll give it a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Keene Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 what are the best spoons to use? and for the most part how long does the bite tend to last? would a late January trip be productive?

Dutch Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 They have to eat. If you get a spoon close to them they are apt to take it no matter what month it is. I've caught a lot of January fish jigging spoons. I use several colors but silver has been good as well as white lately. Some hooks tipped with feathers and some not. It didn't seem to matter much.
