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.

The Wohlford Catfish Derby will not be held this year due to scheduling difficulties. Look for the derby to return next year.

The bass bite has been good with small to medium sized bass being reported. The bass can be found near structure and respond best to crawdads, shad raps, or dark colored plastics.

The June gloom has provided some good opportunities for crappie fishing. Wendell Jackson of Escondido limited out Saturday morning in Boat Dock Cove using shiners. Mr. Jackson’s stringer of twenty five fish weighed in at just over twenty six pounds. Crappie prefer the cover of shade and are most often caught on crappie jigs or live golden shiners.

Catfish are being caught throughout the lake. Lake Wohlford cats enjoy chicken liver and cut mackerel. Carp are also visible spawning in the shallows.

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.
