Walleye Fishing

Was fortunate enought to spend a bit of time in the afternoon of May 31 and June 1 fishing for some walleye at Stockton Lake. Caught a mixed bag including 20 or so walleye, however only four keepers. Trolling crank baits was by far the most productive method. I was using lead core line, but it really isn't necessary as most were caught in 15' or less water. Gonna spend a couple of hours of C&R fishing tomorrow morning before I head home.

Thanks for the report. I have been trying to learn to target Walleye lately. Guess I need to get some crank baits. I see people talking about Flicker Shad on here a lot. Is that what you would recommend?

Just returned home monday am with son. No luck bottom bouncing but didnt spend a ton of time trying. Fished grubs in 10 to 20 ft of water in diff locations. Caught plenty of bass, walleye. crappie, but only a few keeper walleye.(Dont keep bass, they are kind of stinkey). Some really nice crappie. Strange thing, caught walleye in the very back of pockets in 4 ft of water. Lots of them. Only managed a few keepers but it was fun for him on his first trip to Stockton.

Fished for an hour and a half this morning before we headed for home. Trolled flicker shads and picked up four walleye with two keepers and several nice crappie. All were released to fight again. Had a fun morning and a good trip. Fishing reports just suck with no pics, I'll try to pull a couple from my phone tomorrow. Gotta shout out to Sugarfoot Barbeque in Osceola, ate there Saturday night and the Mexican restraunt in downtown El Dorado Springs (El Dorado Cantina??), had lunch there today on the way home. Great food at both places, highly recommended by walleyedmike!

Boobie, those locations I gave you didn't produce much for me this trip, either. Sorry I lead you astray, the lake changes a lot in a couple of weeks. Glad you found a few!

Kdub, Flicker shads are a great trolling bait I usually try them first every time. My favorite colors are purple tiger and chartruse pearle (i think??)

size 7. I also use jointed walley divers and occasionally shad raps.
