Brush Piles
Deep brush has been producing the bigger bites of late. Small window in the early morning with a topwater. Moving out to the deep brush piles with a Neko Rig works. I've been staying off the top of the piles and casting to them. Being vertical on them has been tougher lately, maybe due to fishing pressure.

Brush Piles
Fishing brush piles in 15-30 feet of water depending on the depth of the drop off in the area you are in. Fish smaller shakey heads (4-5 inches) and if consistently getting bit, try a larger one. Mainly soaking the worm with a few shakes in between sits.

Brush Piles
Still heavily fishing brush piles. Fish as many as you can from 18-30 feet deep. Bites are few and far between right now as the fall transition looms near. Drag a football jig or something similar along the bottom and soak it right next to the pile.

Chasing bait all day, find bait busting and there will be fish nearby. Throw your favorite topwater at them and hold on! I have been mostly throwing the 130 plopper in a white or bone color.

Stockton 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.
