How's The Fishing Around High Point

[cerckson]

Bringing a buddy to fish stockton today. Are there any good spots for cats and crappie around the high point area?

Just saw this hope ur day went well. For cats, I'd look for shorelines that are gradual slope with rocky bottom. There are several shorelines that fit that description in that area. When I hit the lake Thursday we caught only a few in about 12ft of water.

Crappie I haven't tried for lately so probly not much help, but we always start with jigs or minnows in timber or around the bridge.

Got skunked just caught a couple perch. Had fun though. Guess that's all that matters.

Was gonna make a new thread, but saw this one and thought I'd just post here. Fished this area yesterday and will be for rest of the week as well.

Yesterday morning our boat caught 15-20 - we're not sure exactly some small ones got thrown back, we had a disagreement about whether drum should be counted etc lol - in any case a good morning. Biggest fish was around 10lbs most in 1.5-2.5 range. We also went out in evening but only caught one on an abbreviated session of less than an hour - dinner was calling ha.

Damage was done slowly drifting cut shad in 12-16 ft of water along above mentioned mud and rock banks. We use this tactic often. For anyone who may not know what this is or how to rig up, you're simply floating in the boat letting the wind push you. If you have a trolling motor that helps keep your course and you moving when there is no breeze. For the pole, we hook up a simple Carolina rig with your sinker bumping the bottom.

Will post this days results later. Good luck to all

Been busy past few days, forgot to update thread.

Thursday morning we caught 7. Almost all were caught above muddier areas on the flats. From 8:45 - noon on cut shad.

Friday morning 9-noon, 6 were caught, same story. 12-16 ft of water, muddy bottom, cut shad. Had a nice fish fry last night, along with some frozen crappie and bluegill, corn on the cob, biscuits, french fries, fried zuccini, along with plenty of adult beverages, we fed about 30 people

Good luck and try to stay cool out there today.

I did a bit of fishing around high point this morning. Tough day with the wind and not much biting. Tried shrimp, flicker shads deep, jigs, only caught one drum. My son and I swam to cool off though and had fun.
