Anything going on?

[Dutch]

I’ve been going to Cape Fair lately because it is half the distance that Stockton is.  I need a change and am headed to Hartley in the morning.

Dutch: I fished Stockton monday afternoon from 2 to 6. Got a little bit of repreive from the heat so I thought i would give the smallies a shot before i headed home. Bright sunshine and very little wind. Tough conditions to bass fish that clear water. I focused mostly on bluff ends and points putting the boat in 25 fow and fan casting the area. Tried a jig, crankbait, shakeyhead and swimbait. Caught a 15 inch walleye on the swimbait and a very small smallie on the shakeyhead. Headed home with my tail between my legs. But it was nice to get out. Never saw another fishing boat. Only sail boats.

I was there yesterday 6/21/22 trying to get Bass, or Bluegill.  I fished the shoreline with the kayak around the southwest boat ramp area.  I got skunked big time but enjoyed the lake a lot.  It was beautiful, clear, few people of any sorts.  Saw 2 fishing boats take out at the ramp, that was it.  Stockton Lake and the State Park are a gem!   Good luck.

I plan on hitting Stockton this weekend. 3 weeks out from MoYak Lake Series event there. I need to get a game plan together. Haven't decided if I will run the yak or my boat yet. I plan to hit deep water along a channel route with focus on points and the channel swings. I need to learn how to fish a drop shot and spoon. May do some deep cranking too...and a big worm. I hear ya about fishing Table Rock due to it being closer...20-30 minutes doesn't sound like much further...but it is. Plus, with gas prices the way they are, that is another $20-30 round-trip....especially pulling a boat. I can be at State Park on Table Rock in at or just under an hour.....Bolivar Landing on Pomme is also about that far from me. Everything else adds 20-45min on my drive one way.

I fished the 18th and yesterday. Sunday was two drum and one short walleye, yesterday I managed three keeper crappie. Been pretty tough.

All I can say is TOUGH.  I’m going back to the Rock.

I hear what you are saying Bassin4fun. A round trip for me costs around $45 and tha6 does not include minnows. That does not fit into me budget.

You guys need to fish at night

I fished Stockton last night (5pm to 9pm). I found fish off a point that had a flat adjacent to deep water. It was also a transition bank...bluff end turning to chunk rock and smaller rock. I found fish schooling and they were suspended 10-15ft down in 18-30ft of water. I caught one on topwater and lost one. I then caught one off a bluff end cranking a Spro Lil John DD90 that was probably 3-4LBS. There was another just as big on surface that began chasing the one I had hooked...I was hoping he may try to steal that bait...lol. My third catch was in more shallow water after it got dark. I caught that one on a jerkbait. I didn't have anything tied on to fish shallow apart from that jerkbait and a jig. I never even threw the jig. Basically trying to scout spots for the upcoming MoYak kayak tournament there on July 16th. The area I fished seems to be a good spot. I will try a few more and probably prefish those areas closer to tournament time...or at least graph them to see if I am still seeing fish in those areas.

Good job. Good report.
