                  My brother, son and I fished Stockton this past weekend.  We fished all over the lake.  Water temp was in the mid 60s about everywhere.  Orleans Trail, Crabtree Cove, Hawker cove, and Masters all were all clear down to about 10 FOW.  For some reason Mutton Creek had some stain and was clear about 4 or 5 feet.                      We did our best walleye fishing out of mutton creek, pulling spinner rigs in 20-30 FOW.  We caught lots of shorts, but had plenty of keepers to bring home.  We pulled spinner rigs at the other launches mentioned, but it was sporadic at best.  Green and Gold was far and away the best color spinners.  Also, yellow/clown type color worked.  We are all in on those northland baitfish spinners, they are great.  We caught a few walleye also with a jig and chunk of worm.  

                We caught crappie and walleye trolling crankbaits, and "strolling"/swimming crappie jigs and small swimbaits.  My son caught a smallmouth and a white bass at the same time on the a double rig.  Generally we were using a 1/8th oz jig on the bottom, and about a foot above a 1/16-1/32 oz jig, or 2 1/16oz jigs at about 0.5-1.0 MPH.  Most of the crappie came suspended in the middle of coves, and walleye when we would drift shallower and the jigs were closer to the bottom.
