7-5 fishing report (kinda)

[Skeeter ZX190]

First trip to Stockton since back in May.  Water temps were 89 to 90 around the dam area.  5 to 6 foot clarity.  We mainly went down for some boating and swimming but I did take my son and a friend of his out for a couple of hours to see if we could catch something. Jacob and Ray are both in the Navy and came home for a visit.  

 I hit 3 main lake points that I have caught fish off of in the past in the summertime.  Only a few bites on each of them.  My son Jacob caught 3 total bass and one was a keeper smallmouth.  His friend Ray caught 2 short smallmouth.  I caught a keeper largemouth, a short smallmouth and two rock bass.  Everything caught was on the ned.  I tried a texas rigged blue flake power worm but couldn't buy a bite on it.  

Fishing Stockton in July and August has always bumfuzzled me.

They look like they had a good time.  Tell them we appreciate what they are doing for us.

Glad to see that you made it back on the water.  It has been brutal for quite a while.  I hope it cools down so I can spend Sunday morning down by the dam.

 

And thanks for your service guys.
