Thought I should be clear on something, I tell everyone Stockton Lake Mo. is dangerous in the wind, and it is, but if you know where to fish and you do not have to get out on the main Lake it is pretty safe. So if you decide to fish in the bad wind, know your lake, know your fishing partner, and know your safety protocol, Stockton will kill you and she will not care if your smart, or careful. so fish the protected coves or from a dock. Oh and when we put the boat up our dock had been blown 10 ft and one of the cables had broke.
