conorsixtakc Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 A couple guys and I will be camping and fishing for a few days in late march-early april. I'm a LOZ native, but Stockton's always had a charm about it that makes it my favorite ozark fishery. I can't wait to show these guys this beautiful lake. I digress... This will be my first time fishing it during what I'm sure will be prespawn for the green and brown fish. Only been able to fish it in the past during May-July, so I'm looking forward to the chance at sticking some heavier fish. They always seem to fight harder at Stockton. We'll be staying and fishing between Crabtree and Masters, but we're willing to cover water if need be. Any advice you guys are willing to give would be greatly appreciated, and I'll be sure to report back. Tight lines ~
Aggressor1988long Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Run up in the river at highpoint access, fish the coves, that time of year I have had better luck than the main lake, chartreuse jig head with a lime green and yellow squiggly tail, or slab busters. Ask anyone highpoint is the spot for crappie and bass that early. Best time is early and usually mid day and late evening, matter of fact my profile pic was first week of last,April. Good luck and good fishing. conorsixtakc 1

Aggressor1988long Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Yeah talk to a friend to mind today mike wester who slays crappie at Stockton he said to stay with chartreuse and light yellow squiggly tail this spring. Let me know when you come up will meet up. Jason
fishinwrench Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 The photobomb on the flathead pic is a classic.
