    sorry no help here. Last week they were 8 ft deep. Everything may have changed with the high water.

    Glad you found a few. I think most that fish Stockton are coming to the conclusion that the high water the last couple of years is helping produce some bigger fish on that body of water. I really excited about that. I know I certainly didn't put a dent in them last year. Congrats on your catch.

    I fished Stockton sunday...caught a few nice fish...10 1/2 to 13. Very dark whites 2-3 feet deep, casting jig on points. Also caught some 10 ft deep....???
    Lake was clear and in good shape...people moving around a lot trying to find fish. Tough day.

    I would start deep say in 20 to 25 foot of water 8 to 10 foot down and move in from there. Also find the cleaner water, stay away from the muddy water.
