Finally Crappie

[Bayliner]

went to Stockton this Sunday 5/01 but didn't get there 1400. fished til 1900 fished Birch Branch. water temp 63 degrees with plenty of other fishermen already there. i though it would be too muddy but visibility was was 3' with the wind mild in the branch. main lake was colder (60) with heavier wind. caught crappie 10" to 13" in 12' of water close to the flooded trees but had to use minnows as jigs didn't seem to work.  at the loading  ramp another fisherman said he caught his limit of walleye on main lake points using a worm harness. hope this helps and stimulates your reports on Stockton as there aren't many

I'm gonna guess from your time references that you are ex-military. It took me awhile to go back to civilian time after I got out. 🙂

Thanks for the fishing report. We are coming down there in about a month and it sounds like the fishing conditions are good! I will post my daily outings when we are down there. Going mostly for walleye but we also like to fish for crappie especially when they are holding on brush piles.
