Stockton and the New Year

[Dongotto]

Went to stockton with a couple of friends and it was tough. Very windy and cold, but we did manage 9 keepers and maybe 15-20 short fish. Wind was killing most of our better spots of late. I guess it was better than sitting on the couch, but only because of the conversation and not the fishing.

Anyone else go today?

I did not but am hoping to go to C C sunday, darn near as rough for you today as it was for me yesterday, well like you said better than on the cough, me I sitting in the recliner, hot pad on one leg, ice pack on the other, time to swithc packs, sweet tea and peanuts on the menu.

Yes we went. Started at State Park & fished every thing we could find & had 1 bite & missed it. Loaded up went to Cedar Ridge & fished brush pile next cut up from the launch. Found lots of fish but couldnt get a bite. Snaged 1 & let it go. We left about 2 pm & Pole Bender & Buzzy was still fishing.

That wind kept us from catching some fish on a bluff until about 3:30. Wish it would have died down earlier. It was fun just the same and plan to try it again tomorrow. Going to try a different part of the lake and see what happens. Oh and Cedar Ridge is a long way from Joplin.
