South Stockton Lake Fishing

[daybreak]

Currently a female Stockton Lake swimmer, I am now teaching myself how to fish.  Turned on by the lure to pack up and go visit Stockton Lake repeatedly throughout each week, I am ready to begin to fish.  

1.  I want to establish a way of life centered around fishing and swimming.

2.  I expect to teach myself the habits and patterns of the various fish near the southern areas of Stockton Lake.

3.  I hope to be introduced to an angler who can spare some free time to fish alongside me, demonstrating know-how passion and skills.

If anyone is interested in demonstrating their skills and enjoying the natural layout with me, let me know when we can start.  I work long hours on Fridays and Saturdays.  The other days and nights I am free.  (I have heard some fish at 3 am.)

Thank you for the reminder, Redcatcher68.

I figure this forum is safe--that anyone fishing at Stockton Lake is serious about fishing.  And I have not located professional guides as of yet.  And I would not fish with any stranger at night, etc.

I have not a qualm about teaching myself the whole spectrum of fishing at SL.  There are numerous instructions for each aspect of fishing; however, cleaning a fish after someone has demonstrated proper technique might make for a better meal.  Any demonstrations are noteworthy.

I will be fishing alone as I teach myself. I considered being associated with an angler now and then may curb any (possible) disorderliness from others who frequent SL. 

I always consider SL to be safe and Quiet!

Before you go off "the deep end"(?)..

Go to YouTube and put in "Stockton, lake MO"..

There are videos on fishing the lake and how to filet different types of fish...

Thank you. I will watch those videos and follow the demonstrations along with the instructions.

Thanks about the guide info.  

I can complete basic rigging, etc.  And with the videos, I can learn to filet different types of fish.

His business looks great.  To become familiar with north SL and SL fishing, I will get my name on the list before he is booked!  I like the idea of input and direction from someone familiar with the area.

I applaud your passion and willingness to learn! 

I also agree with Redcatcher, be careful. Hiring Bob Bennett would emensly help you get a great start on good areas and methods to help you get started. Best of luck and welcome to the forum.

Yep.  A year from now I am looking forward to what my photo- journal has to say about my first year fishing at SL.

Even though I mostly fish Pomme I like seeing a newcomer getting into fishing. Keep the fishing passion and build on it. Looking forward to hearing how you do as build your fishing experience.
