Largemouth BassTechniqueFootball JigsSeasonSummerStructurePointsStockton 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.

Fish are starting to stack back up after the spawn on the major brush piles outside of the spawning creeks. Current helps them stack back up better. If you are in a tournament, make sure to have ice and a livewell treatment with you.

Went out for a fun fishing day after the cold front had hit and the fish were doing a lot of different things here is how my day went. Started hour throwing Topwater with just a couple shorts then moved to the Motion Fishing Gill Candy football jig to fish some points. Fish were not schooled up but there were bites to be had. Checked the brushpiles and it’s still not that great but caught a few in a Texas rigged senko. Made a little run to some dirtier water and found the fish eating a square bill and a Motion Fishing Swim Jig. Look like the lake was alive seen tons of bait and prolly caught 10ish keeper fish. This cold front is usually the start of the fall transition, I figure to see a lot of fish doing a lot of different things here in the next week or two so pay attention to may page for more reports 🎣
