CrappieTechniqueVertical Jigging Mid Depth (10-19')SeasonWinterStructureRiver ChannelsCrappie are setup on bluff walls with the river channel swinging next to them. Fish a chartreuse bait with a pink jighead. Fish vertically in 15-25 feet and let the bait suspend over them.

Largemouth BassTechniqueFinesse JigsSeasonWinterStructurePointsThe fish at stockton have been crushing a wiggle wart and rock crawler for a month now and should continue for a couple more weekes. When its calm out a motion fishing finesse jig in sardis craw has been the ticket on the main lake brushpiles and rock changes in 7 to 16 ft. The a rig bite is just getting started and should be great in the upcoming weeks focus on mainlake and secondary points with bait in 12 to 25ft. I like to throw 3.8 rage swimmers in pro blue red pearl.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueNed RigsSeasonWinterStructureBrush Piles
Finding fish in brush in 10-20 feet of water. With the winter drawdown, some fish are pulling out to hard structure. If brush is nearby they are setting up there, if not they are relating to rocky secondary points. Throwing a ned rig or jig at these fish are producing keeper bites.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueShallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6')SeasonWinterStructureRip RapHad a good day cranking a squarebill. It was a pretty cold day but managed to cover some water and get some bites. Had a few miss my my squarebill so I changed my hook and never lost another one. Also got some bites dragging a tube around on an un-pegged t-rig. A good bite getter.

Good fish located on main lake rocky points in 10-15 feet of water. Throwing a football jig or other bottom baits to catch these fish. High sun conditions downsize to a shakey head or ned rig

LOT'S of crappie on rocky points in 15-20 feet of water. Scan over the points and you will find 50+ of them or none. Once you find the fish just drop your favorite vertical fishing crappie bait on them. Got my bigger keepers in the 18-20 feet range.

Finding a lot of fish suspended in 20 feet of water over 40-50 feet on rocky points. Finding big bait balls is critical and fish below them with an A-rig and or an underspin.

The fish at stockton are really spread out they are starting to split between the brush and the ledges.The a rig is still the main player i would keep it locked in my hand all day to look for those better than average bites.
