It was an excellent week of trout fishing with plenty of big trout being recorded. Ken V. of Laguna Niguel led the charge with his 11.60# rainbow caught on a Creme Crawler at Crappie Rock. Other notable catches included Ron Peat’s 11.10# and Jeff Hoffard’s 10.70#. This Wednesday we are stocking trout yet again. Oakvale Cove has been the hottest spot for trout fishing from shore and top water lures like kastmasters have been working well.

The long bass bite hiatus looks to be over. Small to medium sized bass (males mostly) have moved into the shallows in anticipation of the spawn, the first wave of which will probably correspond with Monday’s full moon. Largemouth bass respond well to crawdads, swimbaits, and dark colored plastics.

Catfish are being caught throughout the lake. Doug Jenkins of Carlsbad caught a 10.10# catfish on a nightcrawler in Boat Dock Cove Lake Wohlford cats prefer cut mackerel, or chicken liver.
