Due to the threat of Quagga mussels, there is 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.
Largemouth Bass are being caught on a variety of crank-baits. The bass gravitate toward structure and bite best in the early mornings and late afternoons.
Catfish can be found throughout the lake. Candle Sichantha of San Diego caught a 10.60# catfish at the South Shore Rock Pile using cut mackerel. Lake Wohlford cats prefer cut mackerel, chicken liver, or dough-bait.
Crappie are being caught in the early morning amongst rocky outcroppings close to shore and by boaters trolling for them. Crappie are most often caught using shiners and a variety of mini-jigs, white ones in particular.
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.
