How about Dixon Lake in Escondido? Had a 25 lb 1 oz bass come out of there a while back...

Cannot go wrong no matter what lake you choose. If you want to sight fish clear lakes such as Dixon, Poway, are good choices they are small lakes and the boats you rent are affordable and have a trolling motor not a gas. If you want to just cast and fish not really looking for sight fish there is. Sutherland, Hodges, El cap, etc. Sutherland has great shore fishing and you can move around and park in front of your spot. The whole south shore from the boat dock to dam. Fly lining crawlers, shiners, dads all work great. For lures jerk baits like the diawa td minnow, carolina rigged worms such as reepers are an excellent choice. Not so much a spinner bait slash crank bait lake.

Barrett Lake... it's all catch and release.. and it's phenomenal. Between three of us we caught almost 100 fish a day. Mostly 1-2 lbers, but we had at least 3 in the 4-5 lb range.
i have a reservation for tomorrow that i might need to give up if you are interested.
