BASS
Bass anglers had no complaints about DVL this week. Reports of upwards of 30 fish released have been prevalent. Texas rigged worms in oxblood, prism shad, and morning dawn, fat Ikas in watermelon or green pumpkin, and Carolina rigged brush hogs have been reported as the best choices in plastics fished on the points. There have been some spinner bait reports from afternoon fishermen and some folks have reported catching bass trolling jointed Rapalas along the dams. For those targeting big bass swimbaits, crankbaits and jerkbaits have accounted for some in the morning.

TROUT
Trout fishing has been slow with boaters reporting sporadic catches. There have been a few trout caught on the dams with nightcrawlers. Most trout have been caught between 20 and 30 feet. Michael Wolf of Redondo Beach caught his two biggest trout weighing near 5 pounds fishing with nightcrawlers on the west dam.

STRIPER
There were a few striper caught this week on swimbaits. Russell Nievar of Anza caught a 20 pound striper fishing with a swimbait. John Balderson of Sage caught a 20 pound striper fishing with a swimbait. Jeorge Delgado of Temecula caught a 18 pound striper fishing with swimbaits. Eddie Martinez of Fontana caught a 12.5 pound striper fishing with a fish taco lure along the east dam.

CATFISH
Anglers have been consistently catching cats from shore as well as boats. Mackerel and anchovies have been the most reported baits, but shrimp and chicken liver has accounted for a few reports. The most reported areas have been the saddle dam, Rawson cove, near the quarry, and along the east dam. Esau Aneulo of Wittier caught a 5 pound catfish fishing the west shore line with nightcrawlers.

PANFISH
The panfish bite has been wide open at DVL. Blue gill, red ear sunfish, and crappie have all been reported in large numbers. Most anglers are catching them along the dams with mini jigs, mealworms, or nightcrawlers.
