Due to the threat of Quagga mussels, there remains a ban on private water craft and equipment. Restricted equipment includes; private boats, canoes, kayaks, float tubes, trolling motors, fish finders, anchors, and other equipment that contacts the water.
Permits and Boat Rentals are now issued by a machine located at the Ranger Station. The machine can take cash (no $50 or $100 bills), debit, or credit. Please take note; we do not sell fishing licenses, bait, or tackle, so anglers must acquire these essentials elsewhere prior to their visit. The lake is offering $20 all day motor boats to seniors on Tuesday and Thursdays and to active military every Saturday.
Wednesday’s plant went off without a hitch and the bite is solid throughout. Good fishing promises to only get better as we plant next week, and the week after that. Big fish of the week belonged to Ali Seyf of Rancho Penasquitos whose 6.50# trout was caught on a jig in Boat Dock Cove. Honorable mention goes to Brandon Saenz for his 5.60# trout and Oscar Truyol for his 4.60#. The trout have been responsive to top water lures, and fly fishing, as well as the usual floating baits.
Largemouth bass can be found lurking around structure. They hit swimbaits, poppers, crawdads, and dark colored plastics.
Crappie are beginning to emerge from their winter haunts, thanks to the unseasonably warm weather. Crappie are most often caught using finger jigs or live golden shiners. They bite best in the early morning before the sun rises and prefer the cover of shade.
Each month Whopper Contest winners in four categories are awarded a free fishing and boating permit. For information on the contest or fishing conditions, please contact the Ranger Station at (760) 839-4346.
