Night Stalking Sloooow at Truman

[John Brower]

Fished Saturday night out of Fairfield Landing, set up on point next to river channel in
35 feet of water, bite was slow, ended up with 11 keepers but not much else. Talked
with 4 other boats, they were awful slow to. Excuses I have, it was a full moon,
beautiful night, I usually don't do well nightstalking under a full moon, I was in
35 feet of water on a summer pattern, water was 80 degrees and according to others
posts who did catch fish, the fish are shallow, I was fishing in the wrong place.
Gonna give it a try again this Saturday night, shallow water, cedar trees, hopefully
no full moon. Good news, no bugs.

Be Safe

Night fished Stockton a bunch in the 90s and until 2002. Always found it to slow down in late August and into the fall and yep same experience with the full moon. Fun reading about your night exploits, thanks for sharing.

I have went fishing many times over my life and get skunked, either I couldnt figure out the patern or just didnt have luck pulling them in when they bit. But those that you caught would make for a fine meal, not to bad buddy!
