Dutch Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Don't know about the "eyes" but it picked the bass fishing up for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tehmilz4 Posted July 30, 2017 Members Share Posted July 30, 2017 I was out yesterday evening bass fishing, the wind was brutal I was unable to drag anything up in the 3 hours I fished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGiggles Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Crappie bite was okay in the afternoon, but I'm still figuring the lake out. Had two keepers in 2.5 hours. Wind was not bad around Masters. Was able to stay put with just the trolling motor. Lots of boat traffic though. -Austin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of boat traffic though. how were you targeting the crappie? when we were last down, it seemed like they prefered a smaller profile bait. size 5 and 6 flicker shads trolled, and 1/4oz binks spoons jigged.

I will idle along in an area that I know has brush piles until I see them on sonar, then I toss out a buoy to mark it. I'll mark two piles then circle back with the trolling motor and start dropping jigs on them. Yesterday I was using a black roadrunner with a variety of tubes and grubs. Going to try a couple different jigs tonight and see if anything works better. Like I said, I'm new to the lake and still honing my technique. I have only tried trolling a little bit and was unsuccessful, I don't have a way to know how much line is out, or a plug knocker, I don't feel like donating my 5$ flicker shads to the lake.

Members Bassin' fool Posted July 30, 2017 Members Share Posted July 30, 2017 Bass bite started out good this morning, had 3 keepers in the first 30 minutes but it completely shut off after that. Tried trolling flicker shads and jigging a spoon for awhile with no luck. Either way it was great to be on the boat without sweating through my shirt! I figure somebody tore em up today. dan hufferd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmt out Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 Wife and I took a quick trip down today had 9 keepers and 7 short walleye. A lot of boat traffic and blue gill to contend with. half bottom bouncing and half jig and crawler.

Members Coachfish Posted July 31, 2017 Members Share Posted July 31, 2017 I've been reading this forum for awhile now and would really like to learn how to catch walleye on Stockton. I just moved to the area a couple years ago and have struggled on this lake. Could anyone give me some pointers on what area of the lake to fish? I live in the Walnut Grove area so Aldrich is where i usually put in. However, Greenfield isnt too far either and I would be willing to travel to find them. I want to try bottom bouncing or maybe trolling crank baits. I appreciate any advice you might be willing to give me. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
