BASS
The spawn is still on! Drop shot rigged 6" plastics in purples, pinks, and greens continue to be the mainstays. Senkos and Ikas in watermelon, and Texas rigged watermelon brush hogs were also effective baits. The south corner of the east dam and west dam, behind restroom 3 and near restroom 2 were the hot spots for bass.

TROUT
DVL trout fishing has been fair to good. Nightcrawlers, Powerbait, and mini jigs have been the hot baits. Most reports have been from anglers fishing near the east dam. Sheyenne Adams of Murrieta caught a 5.7 pound trout fishing from shore with a spinner. Christian Fonseca of Lake Elsinore caught a 4.44 pound trout fishing with a Plastic crawdad.

STRIPER
Striper reports slowed this week. Floating or slow sink swimbaits remain the best method for striper anglers. The inlet tower and the east dam were the most frequently reported striper spots. The biggest striper of the week was caught by Marshall Neal of Hemet who got a 23.6 pound striper fishing with a Castaic swimbait.

CATFISH
Not many cats were caught this week. Rawson cove and the wave attenuator are great to drop some bait. Most cut baits, nightcrawlers, or Hog Wild will catch the cats.

PANFISH
The panfish reports have remained slow but that is not to say the opportunity is not there. The bite will improve as the water gets warmer. Mini jigs, and live worms are the most common panfish baits.
