Finally out of quarantine....April 16, 2020

[Steve McBasser]

Spent 4 of the last 5 weeks quarantined at the house. Finally got a chance to escape and went to Stockton. Launched at the Mutton Creek ramp at 6:40am. Water temp was 53.4*, air temp was mid 30's. Started out with a Mega bass vision 110+1. With no takers after several casts I started throwing rattle trap, nothin'. Picked up my pole with one of the custom painted Wiggle Warts and caught a nice one on my first cast. Then Gary started catching them on his PBJ ned rig. In the first hour he had me down by 3 or 4 fish so I put the crank bait down and started catching them on the ned also. Over the next hour of so we learned that the crank bait bite was better in the wind but the ned would take over when the wind lay down. Main lake windy points were best but secondary points worked too. The very backs of the coves and pockets were no good but from the points to halfway in was money. We wound up catching a bunch ....good ones too.

Nice job Steve

I been quietly catching them on Keitech swimmer with a 1/4oz  swim-bait heads. 5-8 foot pretty shallow and if you can miss the moss you catch a fish. 

Wacky and drop shot fished off the lake bed.
