Stockton was 7’ over full pool on my outing and it was raining off and on. Flipping bite was good in the first half of the cove in the clearer water. Switch to a chatter bait in the back half or dirty water. Caught 10+ quality largemouth. Extremely fun way to catch them! Make sure to flip your bait well into the cover and use heavy enough line to drag them out.

Stockton is fishing tough right now. The key right now is finding the bass by themselves. There is a lot of trash fish on the main lake points and in brush piles. Some bass are mixed on with them, but for the most part its hard to target them mixed in. Spend time scanning around and find bait and the bass seperated on bottom away from other species of fish.
