In order to protect Wohlford from invasive exotic Quagga mussels, there is still a temporary 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 $20 all day motorboats to seniors on Tuesdays and Thursdays and to active military on the first and third Saturdays of each month. Half day bass boats are available weekdays for 35$ each.

The trout fishing has remained good despite the skip week. Big fish of the week belonged to Noel Massing of Escondido who landed a 9.55# rainbow using salmon eggs in Willow Cove. Alicia Veytia of Vista came in second with a 5.80# taken in Oakvale Cove on a yellow powerbait/nightcrawler combination. Salmon eggs, powerbait, and inflated nightcrawlers have been the best baits.

Bass can be found lurking around rocky outcroppings. The reintroduction of trout into the lake means the bass are susceptible to swimbaits that resemble small trout.

Catfish can still be found throughout the lake and respond best to cut mackerel or chicken liver. Stop by the ranger station for a doughbait recipe that works well for either catfish or carp.

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.
