Stockton Lake Fishing Report

[Stockton Lake Guide Service]

Lake is about .80 foot high and the water temp ranges from 40 at the dam to 52 up the rivers. Most of the water is clear to normal

The whites have started making their run up the rivers. several reports of mainly smaller whites have been coming in. most of the fish are hitting on white grubs in the creeks and feeder creeks, as well as up the river arms.

The crappie can be found on the main lake under schools of shad and up the rivers along prestage banks, points and channel drops. they are hitting minnows, jigs, and some of the deeper fish are still hitting jigging raps

The walleye are starting to hit the jerk baits. Fish main lake points from the twin bridges north to the dam. Had 3 keepers last night from dark until hout 9 and missed a 4th. all of the fish were over 18". the bite was very light , but once you set the hook you knew it was there.

If you have any questions, feel free to give me a call at 417-637-BASS. If you are wanting to book a spawning walleye trip, do it fast becasue the bite is here and I am getting pretty booked up. Good luck on the lake and be careful!!

Ended up with 25 whites today. Put in at Aldridge and went into the lake, not the river. All fish caught were keepers. Most were caught on the stick bait, some on jigs.

Few bigger crappie showing up in the CC artea. Caught 5 to 8' deep in 20 to 25' water just drifting a bobber. Water color good (probably not now after this rain) and 46.

were gonna be down next weekend, how would you approach daytime walleye fishing? i was thinking jerkbaits early and late, and maybe jigs and crawlers a little deeper during the day? any tips greatly appriciated. we will be fishing out of mutton creek in a boat with limited range.
