Fishing Rating: 3
Water Temperature:
"Went out both yesterday, 6-8-09, and today. The lake is very clear, but the water is a little choppy. I was out around 1045 am using a crankbait on a leader with a small weight on the swivel hook and ended up catching three smallmouth (about 10 inches long and 2-3 lbs each) in a fifteen minute period. The only problem is is that the water near the shore is so weeded that after every retrieve i had to pull off the vegetation. But those were the only three i caught yesterday, and stayed out another hour afterwards without any luck. Today, I went out earlier, about 915 am, and was fishing the same spot. The sky was pretty overcast and the water was murkier because the wind was going pretty well and causing really choppy water. Tried the crankbait again without any luck. No luck with the topwaters, spinnerbaits, or plastics either. Had some company out there using topwaters and plastics too for about an hour and they had no luck either. I dont know if it was because the temperature had dropped significantly since the day before or if the heavier winds were causing the fish to dive deeper, but it wasnt a fantastical morning. So i ended up trying again around 2 pm when the sun came peeking through the clouds and the temperature was warmer but still no luck. Will continue trying throughout the summer though, because there is some good fishing in that lake. Unfortunately, not a lot of places to fish from, and parking is very very limited. Have fun and see ya on the water!"

Stafford Lake Crappie Tips: [ Add Tip ]
Crappie Tips for Current Conditions:
Crappie should be getting ready to spawn. Stay out in deeper water and look for schools. Schooling shad will be harder to find with this water temperature so when you find it, stay on it. Crappie schools will be breaking up quite a bit getting ready for the spawn. Also try fishing shallower with small crank baits and spinners on the warm banks with direct sunlight. This is a great time to be on the water.

Stafford Lake Catfish Tips: [ Add Tip ]
Catfish Tips for Current Conditions:
The catfish family comprises of blue catfish, flathead catfish and channel catfish. Since catfish are warm water fish, they aren’t going to be very active in this water temperature. They will still be feeding, but catfish will only be found very deep and feeding very slowly. Your best bet is give some of the more active fish species in your lake a shot until the cats are active again.

Stafford Lake Solar and Lunar Conditions
Current Lunar Fishing Tip:
The full moon is right around the corner. The gravitational pull is starting to increase with the moon and sun being on opposite sides of the planet. Watch the peak fishing times and make sure you are on the water during that part of the day to take full advantage of today's solar/lunar peaks. It's always fun trying something new at the peak times to change things up a bit and test out the Lunar Theory each time you hit the water in close to full and full moon situations. Good luck you there.
