Night fishing will be held every Friday and Saturday nights until the end of August. A limited amount of shoreline will provide fishing from shore until 11:45 p.m. Boats can be rented starting at 5 p.m. and must in by 10:45 p.m. Motorboats with trolling motors can be rented for $20.00 and rowboats for $12.00.

The warm summer days are a perfect time to come on up to Dixon Lake to enjoy the cooler evenings and soak a line for the great catfish action. Lots of limits from the shoreline are coming from the Boat Dock Cove area on cut mackerel. Steve Walls of Poway caught a 6 lb. catfish on mackerel at the buoy line. Also, Dave Honadle of Ramona caught a 13 lb. catfish at the buoy line using mackerel. Again, the cats have been in the 1 to 2 pound range with some larger fish in the 2 to 4 pound range thrown into the mix. The next stock for catfish will be planted July 31, with 2000 pounds of catfish.

A few anglers are still targeting the bass. Richard Stackowicz of Escondido caught an 11.5 lb. bass on a black and blue Senko; he happily practiced catch and release fishing.
