To protect Wohlford from invasive exotic Quagga mussels, there is still a ban on private water craft and equipment that could have been exposed to mussels. Restricted equipment includes private boats, canoes, kayaks, float tubes, trolling motors, fish finders, anchors, and other equipment that contacts the water.

Lake Wohlford is offering $20 all day motorboats to seniors on Tuesdays and Thursdays and to active military on the first and third Saturdays of each month.

Catfish can be found throughout the lake. Kadheth Sitthivorado of Escondido caught an 18.50 # blue catfish using the head of a mackerel at the west buoy line. Cut mackerel and chicken liver are the top baits for catfish. Stop by the ranger station for a dough-bait recipe that is excellent for catfish.

The bass continue to be active. Magdaleno Guerrero of Escondido caught a 6.55# bass on a plastic worm in Boat Dock Cove. The bass can be found lurking around structure and respond best to crawdads, shad raps, or dark colored plastics.

A handful of crappie have been caught by boats trolling in the late mornings and early afternoon. Crappie generally prefer the cover of shade and are most often caught on crappie jigs or live golden shiners. Blugill have been particularly abundant as well.

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.
