Catfish are being caught throughout the lake. Armando Torres of Escondido weighed in a 21.10 catfish he caught on Labor Day using a nightcrawler on Senior Shoreline. Lake Wohlford cats prefer chicken liver or cut mackerel.
Largemouth bass can be found around structure. Bass respond well to crawdads, frogs, and dark colored plastics.
