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 been excellent following the plant, but could slow down this weekend due to the heavy rains. Big fish for the week belonged to John Donaldson who caught a 9.55# trout on a Thomas Buoyant in Boat dock Cove. Powerbait, and inflated nightcrawlers have been the best baits.


It was a good week for bass fishing with several medium to large size fish being weighed in. Justin Kennedy of Valley Center caught and released a 9.15# bass using a plastic worm at Bass Point. Bass can be found near structure, and respond best to crawdads, swimbaits, or dark colored plastics.


David Lopez of Escondido weighed in a nice pair of crappie he caught at Bass Point using a crappie jig. The larger of the two weighed in at an even 2.00#s. Crappie prefer the cover of submerged rocks or willows, and love to hide under docks, or in other shady places. They are most often lured out by mini-jigs or live golden shiners.


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.
