Thread: stockton 11/2 - 11/3

Sounds like a fun weekend to me!!

Mark- Fished the Stockton Tournament Saturday. Wind was a killer for us but managed to catch several fish. There was only 3 boats in the tournament. We finished second but not sure how the rules are dealt out. The winning boat had 3 fishing out of it and not sure how that is supposed to work but at any rate, the fishing was slower than it had been. Like I said we still caught several fish but nothing over a pound was weighed in. I think the cold front really effected the fish over the weekend but it should get back to normal again. Not sure I'll fish another tourney unless the boats only have two fishermen per boat. At least that is what I call a level playing field.

hey mark ain't that wind tough on the sail boat lake,, hate it, glad y'all got a few, and the deer was a bonus, been seeing lots of deer up there, every time I go, had to stop several times to let them cross the road.

Did one of them Look like "Grizzly Adams" ??? It's alright.....If he was using his "SNOOPY" rod and reel. lol

I dont know what I did wrong Rick, Allen and I have caught the tar out of them since mid august. It had been 2 weeks since my last trip, I figured we could get on a pattern and do alright. Tried deep, shallow, mid depths, and when you would get bit is wasnt aggressive at all. I hear you on the tourney, need to make rules and stick to them, everyone, that what rules are for. It is supposed to be for fun, but anytime money is involved you need a even playing field for everyone. I dont think Allen and I will probably fish any of them this year, nothing anyone said or did, just not going to fish them. We are still going to fish regularly, just how we want to when we want with no time constrant. We enjoyed the visits and if you are interested competing with a good bunch of guys than you should give it a try. It is a beautiful lake with great fishing, it is harder to go back to kansas everytime, I sure miss the lake.

been having the same trouble Mark, started out real well then kinda hit a tough spot, my main problem is the wind I don't like it and the fish seem to know it, give me a fit, but hey I will keep after them and see what I can figure out, ain't gonna give up on this brush dippin, been tempted to go back to my ole style of open water slow trollin but hey I can wait a bit longer.......... i don't fish tournaments,

Since the rules have been brought up in the post I will address the issue. The rules have been that you can have as many people in the boat as legally allowed. This has been the rule from day one and has been going on for the last three years of which no one has ever said anything until now. This was put in place to get more guys involved.

Sorry to hear you and Allen are not going to fish with the club this year was looking forward to seeing both of you.
