Lake Cuyamaca

going to try and hit it thursday

talked to one of my buddy's that lives in julien
that goes there semi regularly
he said it has been a ghost town there with no pressure
that said he said things are slow still very cold but bass are there if you work for them

3000lb's of trout were planted last month
and an equal numbers expected to be stocked in the coming month

they still have a fish for free program if you kill a carp so maybe that might be an incentive

no camping at this time but they still rent cabins

fishing was great

spent most of the time trolling using rapala's rainbow dd's

the three of us caught 11 trout biggest was a little under 4lb's
the other's were all around 2 1/2 or so
bass fishing was slow ,and the ones we caught where smaller
all the carp you want
the lake was empty with less than dozen boats out

seems like everyone had some success as at the docks we saw stringers with fish

weather was nice in the mid 70's and lite wind

even if fishing had been crappy it was a nice day with lots of nature to be seen deer eagles and other rapters

they seemed to be catching at will so it was fun watching them outfish us

all in all a great day

we did see dfg rangers ,they didn't bother us but they where there

still have a bounty on carp so you can still save money on fishing fee

Nice report, have great memories there when we used to drive up from "The Cajon Zone" and fish with my daughter. Thanks for sharing may have to take a trip and re-live good times. Were using a downrigger or leadcore with the CD's?

no lead core just deep divers and floaters the floaters worked better water is cold

spinner baits and plastic for bass but again the floaters worked best

replaced all the treble hooks with single hooks tried metering fish but all blind strikes or passing jumping fish
which the birds went agro over

Thanks for the neat report. You folks caught some nice fish and thank you for sharing.
