• What's the catch? Bluegill were plentiful this weekend! Cloister, Hermit, and Eagle were all producing big Bluegill. They were biting on nightcrawlers and mealworms. The bass bite was active in Sentry Cove and Half Moon Cove. Smaller bass were being reeled in at the t-dock and Siesta Point shoreline while larger bass were being caught by boat. Anglers were using spinnerbait and rubber worms to reel them in. Catfish were biting on mackerel in Siesta Cove. 
• California Department of Fish and Wildlife offers two Free Fishing Days each year. On July 4th anyone can fish without a sport fishing license. The regular fishing permit fees at the lake still apply.
