Thursday raurak bluff

[livingtofish]

Went down to Stockton yesterday and was on the lake around 10. The water around takeoff was pretty dirty and 51 degrees. Fished quickly around the launch to get a feel of things and went up sons creek a short distance. The water cleared up a little there and I was able to boat a couple of short largemouths on a red craw lucky craft crankbait and lost 2 others as they were just nipping at the bait. I have this bait weighted so I was almost fishing it like a jig, just crawling it along. Went up the river from there and caught several more shorts before switching to a jig. I then caught a nice keeper in about 5ft next to a drop. After a while my son and I could tell what area was going to yield a strike or a fish. Fish were very pale but put up a good scrap. We went up almost to springfield cove and ended with 4 keepers all on jigs and caught maybe 10 or so on the crankbaits. Overall it was a fun day with my son. We noticed many fish suspended just out from were we caught ours in about 10ft so I anticipate with the rain and warm weather this weekend things should pick up more. Have some pictures but I am not smart enough to post them.

I would say about 10 in visibility, I thought the water looked pretty good compared to the launch area. The fish really popped the jig but you had to fish it real slow, I was barely crawling it along. Just like the crank bait just barely crawling it on the rocks.

My temp gauge said 52 but I don't know how accurate it really is

Great info, thinking about putting in at cc Sunday and working channel banks with a jig in that area or slow rolling a spinnerbait.
