Friday post Thanksgiving - Would it be Jam Packed?

[Ultralight]

Thinking of going to Corona on Friday due to the large stocking and bringing my brother and sister in law. First time there.

Normally is is extremely crowded day after Thanksgiving?

Thanks,

This will be my first time going the day after Thanksgiving, from what people have told me go early and wait in line.

Get in line by midnight or it will be a loooooong day. Probably one of the most crowded days at both Lakes.....

drove by on the way home from Lake Elsinore at around 745PM there were close to 40 people in line, Ridiculous!!!

Packed would be an understatement. But go and rent a boat. If you don't want to rent a boat, don't go. It won't be worth the hassle. Head to the back side of the lake, find 8 feet of water and wait for the crowd to scare the fish to you. Use light line (2-lb. would be the best choice) and small baits, even if you use PB. Just enough to cover a size 18 treble hook. 12" to 16" leaders, and just wait for the fish to come to you. They will if you make a good presentation. Try hanging half a nightcrawler or a mealworm 3 feet under a bobber, too. Lots of times the pressure will cause the fish to hold mid-column where they won't see baits on or near the bottom.
Or head to LNL instead. And rent a boat.
Good luck!
