[Frequent Flyer]

hit up the lake at 6 rented a boat and uncle started off with a troll while i was rigging up. few hits on the troll so stopped and drifted. next few casts resulted in non-stop action on trout. all dfg i caught 10 uncle 3. moved throughout the whole day with no more trout but about 30 crappie for me and 2 for uncle
i was using drews custom worms black and pink suspended below a bobber with bite on-garlic
uncle was using kastmasters, rapalas, and othr lures

1/2 to 1 1/2????? Cuayamaca use to be all about the 1/8 to maybe 1/4 lbs.. Good to hear they are getting bigger! Oh and based on your screen name surprised you used trout worms, the crappie and trout will hammer fly's there.

yes on the trout, only socal lake the stock all year with trout, catfish not sure best spot, caught them most anywhere from shore on night crawlers and no its not catch and release..great place...

You can catch trout year round but August is probably the slowest month of the year. If you can wait til mid September or later the fishing will be a lot better. Catfish seem to be scattered but I would try the northeast corner of the lake - either by the dike or the jetty. Or ask the permit lady where the cats are. The lake is actually no catch and release except for smallmouth bass and undersized sturgeon neither of which one is likely to hook into. Despite the lake rules, many anglers do release their catch. Cuyamaca is my favorite lake to fish, but I tend to have poor luck there in late summer.
