Catfish can be found throughout the lake, but are particularly active near the west buoys. Lake Wohlford cats prefer cut mackerel or chicken liver. Bluegill (or any fin fish) alive or dead are not legal bait in Southern California as they are considered a game fish. Likewise, canned corn is also illegal bait at Lake Wohlford because some species of fish in the lake are unable to digest it and if there is too much of it floating around in the water it can end up killing fish.

Small to medium sized bass are being caught primarily around structure. Mike Hernandez of Valley Center caught a 6.10# bass on a jig near the west buoys. The bass are hitting frog poppers, crawdads, and dark colored plastics.
