There was very good catfish action again this week at Corona Lake. Several bruisers were reported and lots of pan-sized fish were showing as well. The trout bite slowed considerably with the warm weather, but some are still being caught in the deep water. Tilapia are also making an appearance for anglers in the south end of the lake.
The catfish bite has been best on a variety of baits with mackerel doused garlic Crave Gravy, nightcrawelers, and shrimp with Gravy all good bets. The best action for catfish has been in the south end of the lake near the trees.
The top catch this week was a 10-8 catfish landed by Logen Booker, Rialto, on mackerel fishing in the south end trees. Booker also caught another cat at 7-8 the same day. Triston Labensommer, Temecula, caught a 9-8 catfish on a nightcrawler.
The trout bite has slowed and are only being caught by anglers fishing deep water. Brian Scarloz, Ontario, showed that the trout are still out there waiting to be caught. He landed 10 trout totaling 18-0 using Power Bait and nightcrawlers fishing behind the bait shop.
Some bass are showing for anglers targeting them and the tilapia are also starting to show for anglers fishing the south end of the lake.
Catfish will be planted weekly all summer long. This season each plant will have trophy cats from eight to 15 pounds, with an eight to nine pound average on the trophy fish. The average cat will be in the two to 2 1/2-pound range. In addition, carp and tilapia will be part of the loads at least every other week, and the lake has already been seeded with 1/2- to pound-sized tilapia. Fish planted this size last year, grew into the 2 1/2-pound range by late summer.
Corona Lake is open seven days a week with fishing allowed from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. on day passes or from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. on an evening pass. Each of these $20 passes has a five-fish limit. The popular 24-hour fishing passes are now offered every Friday and Saturday night. These passes have a 15-fish limit and cost $60. The family special, where mom and up to three kids 12 or under can help dad catch his limit, will apply on these all-night passes.
