Large plastic worms fished in deep brushpiles have been the deal here at Stockton Lake. Best worms have been lake fork ring worms in watermelon candy and red bug colors. Deep diving crankbaits in shad patterns have also been good early and late as well as if the wind blows. Off shore structure and submerged timber have been the ticket for crappie and a few walleyes. Minnows and some jigs have been the best bet. Bluegill and catfish are steady bites as well. The night fishing is heating up around the lake as well.

Lake Level:867.12 Water Temp: 84 Degrees

The fishing is changind daily. Night fishing has picked up. Walleye are very tough, but a few are being caught on main lake points on jigs and crawlers anyplace from 14 foot early to 25 foot later in the day. They are moving to the summer patterns and it's been a pretty tuff bite the past week.

Crappie are still hitting crankbaits 10 foot deep in 25 foot of water trolled about 1.5 mph. There are also a good number of fish moving to the brush piles in 18 to 25 foot of water.

Bass are excellent on large worms in deep brush piles lakewide. If you can locate the right brush pile, you can catch a large bass. Been a great 2 weeks of bass fishing!! If they don't hit the large worm, large jigs have been the second bait of choice, along with downisizing the worm. Best worms have been plum and red bug chompers and lucke strike ring worms. Pigsticker foot ball jigs in P&J have been working as well.
