Ran all over the lake including up the river. In the river a black and blue evo worked best and on the main lake the spot remover color worked better. No matter where we fished or what species we caught the productive spots stayed the same. The points needed to be flat with a steep break, but the fish were up on top of the point. The ned was a great option to clean up a spot before moving to the next as there was usually a good group of fish; where there was one there was more.

We hit Stockton Lake for Joe Bass last Saturday, and the morning bite was on fire! We started catching a bunch of fish on a big minnow and a football jig. Once the morning rush slowed down, we shifted to points and brush, dragging that same football jig and a big worm. The bites stayed easy, but the size got smaller in the afternoon. Some folks brought in big bags, and we ended up 4th with 13.77 lbs. We had shots at over 15 lbs but lost a couple key fish that stung a bit. If you’re heading to Stockton, here’s what’s working: Run up the river and toss a hollow belly frog around the bushes (flipping will get bit too). For the main lake, stick to brush piles, points, and hard spots with a football jig, a big worm, and that trusty big minnow. Fish are biting from shallow to deep, pick your poison, have confidence, and go catch ’em! Don’t forget use code LUKE10 at Omnia to save 10%!
