Lake Elevation: 1676.82
Surface water temp: 72- 74 degrees
Fish Plants: Scheduled trout plants will resume when surface temps decrease.
Lake Hours: 5:45am to 7:00pm
Weather: Temperatures have been in the 60's in the morning and rising to the low 90's in the afternoon.
For bass anglers there seems to be no end to the exceptional bite. Throw scroungers, crankbaits, and jerkbaits in the morning for big bass. For the remainder of the day plastics are the way to go. Texas rigged worms in oxblood, prism shad, and morning dawn, fat Ikas in watermelon or green pumpkin, and Carolina rigged brush hogs are your best bet. If you don't care about size the drop shot is a nearly guaranteed method. Fish the points or try lead core trolling jointed Rapalas along the dams. Most reports have big bass hanging around 35 feet. Bruce Erickson of Hemet reported a 4.6 pound bass fishing with plastics.
DVL trout are MIA. Bass anglers are reporting unintentional catches of holdover trout in Rawson cove or the corners of the dams. Try throwing mini jigs or night crawlers in 15 to 30 feet of water. Anglers reported a few small striper catches this week on swimbaits. The most reported spots have been Rawson cove, near the rock quarry, and by restroom 2. 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. Michael Hernandez of Hemet caught a 13.39 pound cat fishing from shore with mackerel. Geoffrey Windsor of San Jacinto caught a 5.12 pound cat.
The panfish bite is wide open. Anglers reported mass quantities of blue gill, red ear sunfish, and crappie. Try mini jigs, mealworms, or nightcrawlers along the dams, and let the kiddies play with the smaller fish on the surface while you go for the meatier fish in 10 to 15ft of water.
