Been having some good trips on Stockton if you are going up the river a jig and a spinnerbait is all you need. If you are fishing more of the mid to main lake megabass and a jig have been working with a few fish being caught on an arig and Crankbait. Go out and have fun and enjoy some spring fishing 🎣

I’ve been having excellent success with the Chatterbait EVO and Chatterspike trailer over the last week or so. The bass have been hitting on a faster than usual retrieve. Steady retrieve only popping the rod to break free from underwater moss.

Fishing has been up and down for me with fishing moving daily. I focused on bigger rock that was warming in the sun. Many bites came near rock transitions. I was fishing shallow near deeper water. If you haven't tried out a Dobyns champion HP rod you really should! After days of jerking a vision 110 and 110+1 you will be able to tell that the rod is lighter than most. I also would recommend a good set of pliers to help not hook yourself when throwing these lures. Ask me how I know. My partner and myself both had the pleasure of a fish hanging on a jerkbait with hooks in our hand this day.

Caught a majority of our fish cranking rock, with almost 18 pounds hopping around day 1 of practice and then a 6 1/4lb the next day. Found some isolated big spotted bass on the end of docks, bluff walls, sumberged timber, brush piles, and main lake points.

The Strike King Flippin rattlin jig 1/2 black n blue with a strike king rage craw was the deal. Day 1 they were in the bushes and day 2 they pulled in front of the bushes. I really believe with the dirty high rising water the rattles played a part in our bite

Fishing was tough due to a lot of pressure on the lake and the sun was hot! I think most fish have spawned at this point although you may find a few that haven't yet. SLOW was the key but I heard some good fish were caught with crankbaits. After this month, I think the whole lake will be in the Posts pawn phase.

Fish were very active early in the day and then seemed to get tight to the cover as the sun got high. Water clarity was strained and skies were bluebird with no wind at all.
