Stockton wind warning!!

[Pole Bender]

Guy's do not go out on Stockton in the wind with a small boat. I was told today that a father and son went out yesterday and they have not been seen since. The water patrol is looking for them as I type this and they are probably not alive so they are looking for the bodies. No fish is worth your life and there are plenty of days you can go out so do not take the chance and go out in 15 to 20 mile an hour winds. Stockton in the wind is no place to be in a small boat, I have seen posts on here before about why do we need bigger boats and this is an unfortunate example why I have a bigger boat so if I get caught on Stockton I want to come home. Please check the weather before you go and do not let this happen to you.

I hate to hear news like this. There's been a time or two up there I've been concerned about myself. What area of the lake was the incident?

[Pole Bender]

I should have mentioned that I was told the son was only 8 years old the same age as my youngest daughter. I would never take her in my boat in wind no matter how much she wanted to go.

Stockton can get dangerous in a hurry. Lots of open water the wind to build up. Sorry to here about the missing guy and his son.
