Stockton Lake Fishing Report: Early 2026 Update Current Conditions & Patterns Over the past couple of weeks, the bite at Stockton Lake has been firing up, especially if you’re a fan of the A-rig. I found fish holding anywhere from about 5 to 20 feet of water, focusing on those rocky hard spots and ledges. The A-rig has been a real winner in those zones, especially when the fish are more actively feeding. Finesse Tactics & Jerkbait Insights If the fish seem a bit finicky and not fully committing to the A-rig, slowing down with a Motion Fishing finesse jig has been the ticket. The Sardis Craw and PB&J colors, paired up with a Zoom Super Chunk trailer, have been producing a bunch of bites. You can also pick off a few fish on a jerkbait like a Megabass Vision 110, though in my opinion the water temps still need to drop a bit more before that jerkbait bite really hits its prime. Key Locations Most of the action is happening around main lake and secondary points. I’ve been finding fish scattered in brush here and there throughout the creeks, but that brush bite has been a little less consistent for me personally. Still, I know a few folks pulling out some hefty bags by working that brush more thoroughly. Final Tips & Savings So if you’re heading out to Stockton, fish the conditions, stay safe on the water, and have fun. And if you want the gear that’s getting it done, check out these hot baits in the report. Plus, you can save 20% when you pick them up through my link!

cold water, cold air and colder front coming but fish must eat.. this loner smally came right up from about 25-30 feet to eat the jig and minnow imitation on the clear water Stockton lake. Truth is I was hoping for some walleye but this was a welcome fight

Fish have been easier to catch fishing right above the brush. Tried a lot of baits only consistent bite was on a swimbait. Not a lot of big ones but more bites. Long casts and slow roll the swimmer just touching the tops of the brush.
